It's the first Tuesday of the month again, and that means we're bringing out a “lost” show. This week, we're turning to comedy, and this one we consider quite special, as it belongs to the off-beat and somewhat infamous comedy series, The Henry Morgan Show. From about late in its first season in ‘47, most of the episodes are missing, which has left much about the series strictly lore. This is one of those missing ones, from an original transcription disc found on a sidewalk years ago. This is the finale of the first season, and Morgan takes aim at everything from breakfast shows to Lights Out! with his sarcastic style. It's smart, fast, and a little ahead of its time. There's even a surprise celebrity appearance, which you will just have to hear to believe.

Send us a text about your favourite films relating to the episode.Welcome back to another episode of My Film vs My Inspiration. This episode I'm talking to Jonathan Geffner the writer, producer and star of the film and his co-star Ed Altman about their fantastic new film The Dummy Detective, and the inspirational films behind the film, Animal Crackers, The Maltese Falcon and Agatha Christie adaptions. On this one Jonathan talks about the different tones he tries balance in making the film, mixing comedy and film noir together. Jonathan talks about how he avoided falling into horror cliches about ventriloquism. Ed talks about how he approached his character and how his character is arguably the heart and soul of the film. Plus I talk to them about amazing it was to work with the great Sean Young.

Today we've got a mystery for you, and we're asking help from all amateur and professional researchers in our audience: help us figure out this episode of Lights Out! We know it's an early one, and that's about it. It comes with no confirmed title or air date. Instead of the usual supernatural chills, this one leans hard into gritty crime drama. It follows a gang of bank robbers whose plan unravels into a chain of double-crosses, jealousy, and murder, as each one tries to come out on top. As you'd expect from Lights Out, it all builds to a dark ending, with the final moments centered on a condemned man facing his fate. UPDATE: A quick follow-up on this mystery show. Much of it remains unconfirmed, however we have been able to put together a series of educated guesses thanks to our friends Researcher Karl Schadow and Dr. Joe Webb. The first half-hour Lights Out show was broadcast on April 18, 1934. That places this one between that date and April 10, 1935. No titles are listed in any newspaper listings of that time, so we're no closer to a title. However, the introduction to the episode points strongly to it being an audition or the first episode of a new season. During the opening intro, the announcer states the program is broadcast Wednesday at Midnight. That day and time matches many newspaper log entries from 1934. That means the script would have been written by Wyllis Cooper. At the moment, that's what we are able to infer from the clues we have.  Visit our website: https://goodolddaysofradio.com/ Subscribe to our Facebook Group for news, discussions, and the latest podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/881779245938297 Our theme music is "Why Am I So Romantic?" from Animal Crackers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHJKAKS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_MK8MVCY4DVBAM8ZK39WD

Today we've got a 1944 broadcast featuring Fanny Brice as Baby Snooks and the Wizard of Oz himself, Frank Morgan. They partnered together for a short time on Maxwell House Coffee Time, a condensed half-hour comedy/variety show. This version comes from an Armed Forces Radio Service recording, so instead of the original commercials, you'll hear music filling those breaks, the way it went out to the troops during the war. This is a direct disc transfer, with no restoration, so it is a little scratchy. The show itself is classic Snooks chaos. Frank Morgan spins some wild stories about his “inventions,” while Snooks does everything she can to keep her poor father from getting a moment of peace.

We go all the way back to 1939 for one of the earliest surviving episodes of Lights Out, the sum total of which you can count on one hand. This one follows two hardened criminals on the run after a string of brutal crimes, thinking they've finally found a place to lay low. But on a foggy night, they cross paths with a snappy-dressed stranger who knows far too much about them. From there, the story takes a dark turn. This show certainly pushed the boundaries of what could be done on the air in ‘39, with gory sound effects and torture scenes throughout that make you wonder how they got away with some of this stuff. It's also a bit of an oddity, since it was based on a Lights Out! fan-fic.

This week, we're stepping into a big, star-packed 1946 radio special celebrating 45 years of Walgreens. Bob Hope plays host (and hotel owner) in a fast-moving comedy variety show signature of the era, filled with one-liners, sketches, and a lineup of big budget guests including (but not limited to) the Andrews Sisters, Frank Morgan, and Dennis Day. We're not sure if this was really radio's “biggest” show, but it was a live entertainment event, and a snapshot of radio at its peak, when big names, live music, and comedy all came together for a full hour of A-list Hollywood glam.

This week, we wrap up our 10-part Crime Classics series with an unusual true crime story. John Tefteller is once again joined by researcher Karl Schadow and Bernard Herrmann expert Steven C. Smith to take a last look at what made this show so unique. This 1954 episode leans into the series' signature mix of dark humor and true crime, telling a gritty tale of a heist gone wrong on the streets of Baltimore. It's clever, a little twisted, and very much in line with what Crime Classics did best. Along the way, the conversation highlights Bernard Herrmann's unforgettable music, and the show's almost literary style. It's a fitting finale; dark, smart, and a great sendoff to one of radio's most creative series.

We're on the final week on our Crime Classics series on Thursday, and today we've got a fun late-era episode of The Phil Harris–Alice Faye Show from March 1954 to feature the comedy work of Elliott Lewis. The police are after Phil for something, and of course he is hiding under the porch. All of the usual over-the-top Harris-Faye madness ensues from there. You'll also hear RCA Victor ads up front, plus a few interesting notes about changes behind the scenes during the show's final season.

This week, we dive into another famous true crime story, Crime Classics brings us “The Bloody, Bloody Banks of Fall River.” Host John Tefteller is joined by researcher Karl Schadow and Bernard Herrmann biographer Steven C. Smith to unpack this 1950s take on the Lizzie Borden case. The episode walks us through the tense, tightly wound world of the Borden household, leading up to the infamous murders and the trial that followed. It's a familiar story, but Crime Classics gives it a unique edge with its dry narration and psychological focus. We also take an in-depth look at Bernard Herrmann's score, which uses just a few instruments to build tension. It's a perfect example of how this series could take a well-known case and make it feel fresh, unsettling, and gripping.

This week, to enhance our Crime Classics episode from last Thursday, we have a Robert Bloch story that was talked about in that episode called, “Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper,” presented on the Molle Mystery Theater. This story takes the infamous killer out of Victorian London and drops him into modern-day Chicago… with a twist. What if Jack the Ripper never died? What if he's been staying alive all these years through something darker? The story follows Sir Guy Hollis, a man obsessed with tracking the killer, as his search leads him closer and closer to the truth.

This week, we step into the foggy streets of Victorian London with Crime Classics, and possibly the most intriguing real-life unsolved mysteries of all time, “Good Evening, My Name Is Jack the Ripper.” John Tefteller, along with researcher Karl Schadow and Bernard Herrmann biographer Steven C. Smith, takes a closer look at the Whitechapel murders, focusing not just on the crimes, but on the lives of the victims and the fear that gripped the city. Along the way, the discussion highlights the often-overlooked people behind the scenes: sound effects artists, assistant directors, and others who helped create that immersive atmosphere.

Today, we conclude our Lincoln-themed series through the lens of time travel, from The Mysterious Traveler, with a story about a physicist and a historian attempting to project a modern mind into the past, hoping to prevent Lincoln's assassination. The plan is to influence events from the inside… but things don't go as expected. In true radio fashion, the story takes a sharp turn that flips the entire mission on its head.

This week, we take a more serious turn with Crime Classics and its 1953 episode that zooms in on a crime that had a tremendous impact on the nation, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Host John Tefteller, along with researcher Karl Schadow and Bernard Herrmann expert Steven C. Smith, explores how this installment breaks from the series' usual dark humor and leans into a somber retelling of one of America's most tragic moments. The discussion digs into the historical details, including the often-overlooked role of Lincoln's bodyguard, John Parker. We again look at Bernard Herrmann's striking score, and touch on a bit of behind-the-scenes controversy at CBS over the timing of the broadcast.

This week, we kick off a three-part series on Abraham Lincoln, to compliment our Crime Classics episode on Thursday. We're starting out with a 1938 broadcast from The Mercury Theatre on the Air, starring Orson Welles; a dramatic, personal look at Lincoln's life during the Civil War, built from a mix of theatrical storytelling and his own words, pulled from letters and speeches. You'll hear the weight of the presidency, from cabinet conflicts to the enormous burden of holding the Union together and pushing toward the end of slavery. Welles captures both Lincoln's strength and his humanity, while Bernard Herrmann's score adds just the right emotional depth.

Matthew joins us in New York City for our first-ever episode in front of a live audience, recorded at the Museum of the Moving Image—just steps from Kaufman-Astoria Studios, where the Marxes filmed their first two movies. We kick things off with a quick dive into Horse Feathers (because The Cocoanuts or Animal Crackers felt a little too obvious), before welcoming Craig Shemin for a look at the studio's ongoing history. Next, we take questions from the audience, and are then joined by the great Cinco Paul, whose Schmigadoon! is set to premiere on Broadway. Finally, we make a special announcement about an upcoming project before Cinco serenades us with a closing song.

This week, we are serving up another dainty confection from Crime Classics. John Tefteller, along with researcher Karl Schadow and Bernard Herrmann expert Steven C. Smith, takes a closer look at this 1953 episode, based on the real-life case of a Frenchwoman accused of poisoning her husband with arsenic… hidden in a homemade cake. Like all Crime Classics episodes, it's told with rye dialogue and narration, and Herrmann's subtle musical score.

If you like your comedy quiet and odd, we're lining up two back-to-back broadcasts of the offbeat 1944 sitcom Vic and Sade, a show famous for its understated, throwaway humor. The first episode centers on Vic trying (and not exactly succeeding) to collect a $2 debt from a local merchant. In the second, the family is getting ready for an evening out, all heading in different directions, with the usual small talk turning strangely funny.

This week, we're back with another dark story from Crime Classics. We are once again joined by researcher Karl Schadow and Bernard Herrmann biographer Steven C Smith, to take us into one of the most chilling true crime stories the series tackled; the infamous tale of Burke and Hare, two men who turned murder into a business, supplying bodies to medical schools in 19th-century Scotland. Along the way, we discuss the cast, the production, and the eerie, minimalist score by Bernard Herrmann, which does a lot with very little to create a sense of unease.  Visit our website: https://goodolddaysofradio.com/ Subscribe to our Facebook Group for news, discussions, and the latest podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/881779245938297 Our theme music is "Why Am I So Romantic?" from Animal Crackers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHJKAKS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_MK8MVCY4DVBAM8ZK39WD

It's the first Tuesday of the month, and that means host John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb dig into another rediscovered show from the golden age of crime drama: a 1945 episode of Mr. District Attorney. Originally aired on August 29, 1945, this wartime mystery centers on a black-market racket dealing in stolen red ration points. John and Dr. Webb set the stage with background on wartime rationing, railroad travel limits, and how shows like Mr. District Attorney captured the patriotic mood of the times. They also chat about the episode's cast, its classic sponsors (Vitalis and Ipana), and share a few great collector stories about how these long-lost programs survived decades of neglect.  Jay Jostyn and the Golden Age "Mr. District Attorney" Series Need to be "Re-discovered" https://suspensearchive.wixsite.com/drjoesworkshop/post/jay-jostyn-and-the-golden-age-mr-district-attorney-series-need-to-be-re-discovered   The Blockbuster Series Mr. DA Did Not Start That Way https://suspensearchive.wixsite.com/drjoesworkshop/post/the-blockbuster-series-mr-da-did-not-start-that-way   Ipana toothpaste https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipana Ipana print ad https://archive.org/details/1948-advertisement-for-ipana-toothpaste_20201109   Minit-Rub print ad https://archive.org/details/MinitRub1947A   Chuck Schaden interview of Jay Jostyn https://speakingofradio.com/interviews/jostyn-jay/   Classic radio collector Chris Lembesis calls into a 1968 talk show where Jostyn was guest for a nice 4 minute conversation https://archive.org/download/httpsarchive.orgdetailshttpsarchive.orgdetailsmrdajostyninterviews/Mr%20DA%201968-08-27%20Chris%20Lembesis%20calls%20into%20talk%20show%20to%20chat%20with%20Jay%20Jostyn.mp3   1973 Same Time Same Station retrospective of Jay Jostyn's career with interview and excerpts; in two hour-long broadcasts https://archive.org/details/httpsarchive.orgdetailshttpsarchive.orgdetailsmrdajostynstss1973   Eleven years of Mr. District Attorney comics for reading online.

This week, we're back with another fascinating entry from Crime Classics. Host John Tefteller is joined by Karl Schadow and Steven C. Smith to take a closer look at the dry narration of Lou Merrill as Thomas Hyland, one of radio's most unique storytellers. The featured story dives into a real case from 1778, the shocking murder of Joshua Spooner, planned by his wife, Bathsheba Spooner, who would go down in history as the first woman executed for murder in the United States. It's a dark tale, but like all Crime Classics episodes, it's told with a surprising mix of sharp humor and historical detail.

Want to hear what 1950 thought “the future” would sound like? We have an unusual program for you today, an NBC pilot from 1950 called Report from the Future, dramatized news broadcasts delivered as if they're being reported from years yet to come. It's part radio drama and part faux newscast. The program jumps through imagined headlines: a manned rocket launching into space, the (fictional) discovery of Cleopatra's tomb, and a baseball slugger breaking Babe Ruth's home run record. To make it all seem more believable, the show even folds in “expert” interviews from the era, including a rocket engineer and Major League star Ralph Kiner. More than anything, it plays like a time capsule of mid-century optimism, capturing what Americans in 1950 expected science, exploration, and pop culture to achieve in the decades ahead.

This week, we're back in the world of Crime Classics with another offbeat entry, “The Triangle on the Round Table.” Host John Tefteller is joined by Karl Schadow and Steven C. Smith to dig into this 1953 episode, which takes the familiar legend of King Arthur and turns it on its head. Forget shining armor and noble quests, this version leans into dark humor and sharp writing, with knights who feel a lot more like modern, flawed humans than storybook heroes. William Conrad stars as a weary, battle-worn King Arthur, caught in a story full of tension, betrayal, and cynicism.

Today, John Tefteller sits down with Jerry Haendiges, one of the true pioneers of vintage radio collecting and preservation. Jerry takes you back to the very beginning, when he was literally rescuing transcription discs from radio stations in 1965, back when a lot of places were just tossing them out. He talks about the formation of SPERDVAC (one of the major groups dedicated to saving radio drama), and why digitizing rare recordings matters, especially if we want younger listeners to ever discover this stuff. Jerry also breaks down how he went from collector to key player in syndicating classic radio to stations all over the U.S. We also play full broadcasts of The Shadow and Blondie, two of Jerry's favorite shows.

This week, we continue our look at the brilliant and often overlooked series Crime Classics. Host John Tefteller is joined again by experts Karl Schadow and Steven C. Smith to spotlight the August 1953 episode "Your Loving Son, Nero." They dig into the “quadruple threat” talent of Elliott Lewis and the unforgettable music of Bernard Herrmann, who made a small ensemble sound like a full orchestra. Then we hear the episode itself, a darkly fascinating (and sometimes surprisingly funny) take on Emperor Nero and his relentless attempts to get rid of his mother, Agrippina.

Ready for a little St. Patrick's Day time travel? Today we are bringing you a 1949 broadcast made for St. Patrick's Day, hosted by Ray Milland and starring Edmund Gwenn as the storyteller. The story is a whimsical fable called “The Leprechaun Who Didn't Listen,” and it follows Johnny, a young leprechaun (played by Alan Young) who just will not take advice from his elders or teachers… and keeps paying the price for it.

We're kicking off a brand-new ten-week series, this time diving into the 1953 program Crime Classics. Host John Tefteller is joined by two guests, researcher Karl Schadow and biographer Steven C. Smith, to explore how producer Elliott Lewis created one of radio's most unique historical crime dramas, and how composer Bernard Herrmann managed to make it sound epic using only a handful of musicians. This week's featured episode takes us back to Ancient Rome, 44 B.C., for a stylized retelling of the assassination of Julius Caesar. The story blends real history with just a hint of satire.

It's time for some classic deadpan radio comedy served extra dry. Today we're bringing you two original Bob and Ray Show recordings from August 1951, played straight off vintage AFRS transcription discs. And if you've never heard Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding in their early days, this is the perfect intro. You'll hear sketches like an “ad” for a dual-purpose swimming pool table, plus a fake Adult School of the Air lesson that explores what happens when you're just… brutally honest all the time. Familiar characters like Mary McGoon and Tex show up too, getting into surreal conversations, including one about a completely nonsensical plan for a musical swim across New York Harbor. It's sharp, weird, and quietly hilarious.

And after 10 weeks of scary adventures in the Cambodia jungles, ancient temples, and gorillas and werewolves, it feels like a hard-earned rescue… but in this type of pulse-pounding, high-octane story, the relief never lasts long.

Today, host John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb uncover another rare find; a long-lost episode of the hit 1940s crime drama “Mr. District Attorney.” This one's been missing for decades until recently discovered in a private collector's stash. John and Dr. Webb go into the history behind the series and how it became one of the most popular crime shows of its time. They also talk about why so many East Coast programs from that era vanished.

We're nearing the end of our 10-part adventure Carlton E. Morse 1944 serial in the jungles of Cambodia today. In this chapter, Captain Friday and the crew make a desperate break for it, trying to escape an ancient temple that's been taken over by a twisted priesthood of men who've become something far more savage than human. Their guide, Taquan, a man caught between Western learning and his own fading traditions, leads them through a hollow mountain using swaying suspension ladders, with the so-called “human wolves” closing in behind them.

It's time to hang out with one of radio's original troublemakers. In this episode, we're spinning The Henry Morgan Show from May 16, 1950, hosted by the “bad boy of radio” himself, Henry Morgan. He's sharp, irreverent, and famous for taking shots at pretty much everything… including his own sponsors (when he actually had them). Morgan's joined by Art Carney and Arnold Stang, and the show's packed with sketches such as a send-up of personality tests, a bit about a Mother's Day telegram, and a parody of over-the-top jungle adventure movies.

We've made it to chapter 8 of Carlton E. Morse's Adventures By Morse serial. Things get a lot darker as Captain Friday and the rest of the expedition are holed up inside a remote Cambodian temple, cut off from the outside world. As night falls, the conversation turns to local legends—stories of werewolves, human beasts, and ancient curses—made all the more unsettling by strange howls echoing through the jungle. Another pure pulp cliffhanger that leaves you hanging in the dark.

It's Tuesday, so it's back to zany comedy 1940s radio style. This time it's an October 1944 episode of It Pays to Be Ignorant, the “quiz show” where a panel of so-called experts take moronic questions and proudly give the most ridiculous answers possible. And this week's twist? They've got composer Deems Taylor in the mix, acting as the classy, unbothered foil. Expect goofy musical bits, comedians heckling the orchestra, and some fun interaction with military members in the studio audience. It's corny, fast, loud, and it's a great snapshot of how vaudeville comics kept thriving once radio took over.

The pulp radio adventures of Captain Friday and Skip Turner continue today. The crew finally learn the truth behind their so-called kidnapping, and Patricia and Celia swear they were confronted by a savage, beast-like man in their room. The Cobra King Strikes Back was the second 10-part Carlton E. Morse syndicated series that followed briefly after the first run of Morse's better known serial, I Love A Mystery.

Happy Valentine's! It's been awhile, but today we're back... marching through another great 1947 episode of The Jack Benny Program. But of course because it's Valentine's Day, and Valentine's Day is Jack Benny's birthday, we picked it up. In this episode the gang does a hilarious parody of the movie The Egg and I. And because it's 1947, Lucky Strike cigarette ads worked right into the comedy.

The wild goings-on continue in today's chapter of Carlton E. Morse's Adventures By Morse radio serial. Captain Friday and the rest of the expedition are still prisoners, driven deeper into the Cambodian jungle. Wild ponies, narrow jungle trails, and a secret passage hidden behind a waterfall all stand between them and whatever fate awaits. The journey ends inside Hollow Mountain itself, where the prisoners are forced up swaying ladders and through ancient stone passages to a hidden temple.

John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb are back with another “lost and found” classic: a 1948 episode of The Adventures of Sam Spade. This one was missing for decades until it turned up on an Armed Forces Radio Service transcription disc, and it's based on Dashiell Hammett's short story The House in Turk Street. John and Dr. Webb dig into the behind-the-scenes history, from the show's production quirks and cast lineup to Hammett's rocky relationship with the people adapting his character. SHOW NOTES The Adventures of Sam Spade 1948-05-18 The Girl Called Echs The lead actors: Howard Duff as Spade, Lurene Tuttle as Effie Howard Duff had a long and successful, and sometimes rocky, radio, film, and television career. He was not an expected candidate to become Sam Spade. The then-wife of producer William Spier, Kay Thompson, suggested that he be given better consideration. Thompson was a musical coach at MGM and was an important behind-the-scenes influencer in encouraging stars to appear on Suspense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Duff Lurene Tuttle was one of the top radio actors of her time. She might be best known for playing Spade's dizzy secretary, Effie, but she appeared in hundreds, if over a thousand, radio roles, often uncredited, in soaps, dramas, westerns, comedies, and other programs. Tuttle had a successful television career, often playing the busybody next-door neighbor, as well as many film roles. The supporting cast of this episode: Jeanette Nolan (Elvira Echs / Eliza), Jay Novello (Sgt. Benson), Lurene Tuttle (Old landlady), Sidney Miller (Doc) , Joe Kearns (Laundry Man / Warren Beeding), John McIntire (Monty), UNKNOWN (Eddy Echs) The title Girl Called Echs is a lampoon of the popular espionage NBC radio series Man Called X. It was often comedic and generally unserious spy drama in spite of the many important and weighty post-WW2 topics at the core of its plotlines. The later popular NBC spy show Dangerous Assignment took things much more seriously. At about the 4:15 mark of this Spade episode, there is a Man Called X not-so-inside joke. Spade says “I am looking for a man called ‘Echs' and I don't mean Herbert Marshall.” The star of that series was Herbert Marshall, indeed, one of the favorite performers for the Suspense series during the time that Spade producer William Spier guided that series to its prominence. Even though Man Called X was an NBC series, numerous actors and writers for Suspense and Sam Spade appeared in that series in supporting roles. When the cast arrived for their rehearsal of this Spade script, they likely all got a good chuckle out of the references. One of the in-joke reasons for chuckling at the title is that in the East and Central time zones NBC schedule, The Man Called X followed the Spade broadcasts! Many regular listeners of NBC  and devotees of both series would have picked up on the joke. So much of the Spade series was tongue-in-cheek with many inside jokes that only the crew and actors detected them. This title and Duff's comment about Herbert Marshall at around the 4:00 minute mark was one that everyone could understand. The plot is partially based on Dashiell Hammett's short story The House on Turk Street.

We kick off FOLLOW UP by checking in on Elon Musk's personal dumpster fire, where the EU is investigating Grok for deepfake slop while Tesla's “unsupervised” robotaxis turned out to be supervised by literal chase cars — shocker. At least some of you are getting Siri settlement crumbs in your bank accounts, though you could probably double it betting against Musk's worthless promises on Polymarket.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Tesla is killing off the Model S and X to build robots while sales crater, proving that mixing hard-right politics with EV sales is a brilliant move for the balance sheet. Meanwhile, the corporate bloodbath continues with massive layoffs at Ubisoft, Vimeo (courtesy of the Bending Spoons buzzsaw), and Amazon, because “removing bureaucracy” is apparently HR-speak for 16,000 families losing their livelihoods. If that's not enough, Google is settling yet another privacy suit for $135 million, the EU is threatening to weaponize its tech sovereignty against the US, and the Trump administration wants Gemini to write federal regulations—because if there's one thing we want drafting airline safety rules, it's a hallucinating chatbot.Still IN THE NEWS, Waymo is under federal investigation for passing school buses and hitting children, while South Korea's new AI laws manage to please absolutely no one. Record labels are suing Anna's Archive for a cool $13 trillion—roughly three times the GDP of India—and the Winklevoss twins have finally admitted that NFTs are dead by shuttering Nifty Gateway.We pivot to MEDIA CANDY, where the Patriots and Seahawks are heading to Super Bowl 60, and the Winter Olympics are descending on Milan. We're doing the math on the Starfleet Academy timeline, celebrating the return of Ted Lasso and Shrinking, and trying to decide if Henry Cavill is the second coming of Timothy Dalton in the Highlander reboot. Plus, Jessica Jones is back in the Daredevil: Born Again trailer, and Colin Farrell's Sugar is returning to explain that wild noir twist we all totally saw coming.In APPS & DOODADS, the TikTok Armageddon is upon us as the new US owners break the app and drive everyone to UpScrolled, while Native Instruments enters insolvency, leaving our music-making dreams in restructuring limbo. Apple is dropping AirTag 2 with precision finding for your watch, which is great for finding the keys you lost while doom-scrolling.We wrap up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, featuring the new Muppets trailer and Steve Whitmire's deep thoughts on the state of the felt, plus a look at the artisans in Disneyland Handcrafted. Finally, Looney Tunes finds a new home on Turner Classic Movies, proving that the classics never die—they just move to a cable channel your parents actually watch. Dave finally learns about the Insta360 camera, a countertop dishwasher but no Animal Crackers, and a guide to gas masks and googles... for no particular reason.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Our pulp escapade into the imagination of Carlton E. Morse continues today with chapter five of Adventures by Morse. Captain Friday and the rest of the expedition wake up as prisoners inside a forgotten Cambodian temple, hauled there by a roaming bandit caravan and at the mercy of the jungle. What follows is a run of vanishing companions, hidden trap doors, and underground passages crawling with things you definitely don't want to meet in the dark.  Visit our website: https://goodolddaysofradio.com/ Subscribe to our Facebook Group for news, discussions, and the latest podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/881779245938297 Our theme music is "Why Am I So Romantic?" from Animal Crackers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHJKAKS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_MK8MVCY4DVBAM8ZK39WD

Today we're following up on our commitment to finish the 15-episode run of The Stan Freberg Show. This episode is basically roasting its own cancellation. In the process, Freberg gives an early demonstration of what a brilliant mind he had for creative advertising with wonderfully ridiculous fake ads for “Instant Freberg.” They also do a hardboiled detective spoof called “Sam Spelade.” John wraps things up with a quick look at the bigger picture: the slow fade of network radio, and why Stan Freberg still matters as a legendary writer, performer, and comedy trailblazer.

On this episode of The Good Old Days of Radio Show, we plunge deeper into The Cobra King Strikes Back as our jungle adventure continues. After being ambushed at the ruins of Angkor Thom, the ancient walled city in Cambodia that once served as the heart of the Khmer Empire, the team finds itself swept away by a massive caravan into the remote wilderness. Held in stone chambers deep in the jungle, the group must battle fear, fatigue (even elephant-induced seasickness), and the unsettling sound of a spectral voice that seems to warn of imminent death.

We're back with part two of John Tefteller's conversation with Bob Lynes and Barbara Sunday, the dynamic duo behind the long-running Los Angeles radio show Don't Touch That Dial. This time, they touch on the golden age of radio's big revival during the '70s through '90s. Bobb and Barbara share stories from those early preservation days, the tricky business of royalties and archives, and what it was like to meet the original writers and performers from the 1930s to the 1950s. You'll also hear a full episode from Richard Diamond, Private Detective and some great behind-the-scenes memories about legends like Bob Hope and Jack Benny's writing team. It's a fascinating, funny, and heartfelt tribute to the people who kept classic radio alive long after the microphones went cold.

It's part 3 of our 10-part adventure expedition today. Last time, the jungle made it clear that nowhere was safe, not even a locked hotel room. A deadly warning sends the group deeper into French Indochina, toward the towering ruins of Angkor Wat. An archaeologist vanishes, strange allies appear, and rumors of an emerald idol hint at forces powerful enough to ignite a rebellion.
