Jake McLellan and Tyla Harrison-Hunt: Central City Councillor and Riccarton Councillor on the reactions to a proposed pedestrian crossing

A proposed pedestrian crossing's become a bit of a joke - after differing views were shared from two Christchurch community boards. The southbound lane of Deans Avenue, near Al Noor Mosque, has been approved for speed bumps - but not the lane heading north. It's the boundary between the Riccarton and Central City wards. Central City Councillor Jake McLellan's side will have a bump. He says it will look kooky - but it's better than nothing. "When you add a crossing but you don't actually do anything to make people safe while they're crossing, it can become quite dangerous." Riccarton Councillor Tyla Harrison-Hunt agrees it's better than the status quo. "At the end of the day, it's actually a massive, massive win for the Deans Ave residents - and a massive win for the everyday users of Hagley Park."

The Whisperer, a 1951 summer replacement radio show on NBC, aired 13 episodes with a tongue-in-cheek take on popular crime dramas. The story, based on works by Dr. Stetson Humphrey and his wife, Irene, centered on lawyer Philip Gault (Carleton G. Young).After a football injury left him with a whispery voice, Gault used this unique trait to infiltrate the criminal syndicate in Central City. Under the alias "The Whisperer," he worked to dismantle the organization from within. Even after surgery restored his normal voice, he continued his double life, strategically passing on instructions from the syndicate's New York bosses to their Central City operatives, ultimately leading to their downfall.The show's final episode revealed Gault's backstory, detailing his journey from football player to double agent. His girlfriend, Ellen Norris (Betty Moran), and Dr. Lee were the only individuals aware of his dual identity. The cast also included Paul Frees as Lt. Charles Denvers and William Conrad, using the pseudonym Julius Krelboyne, in various supporting roles.Bill Karn served as producer, director, and occasional writer, with Johnny Duffy contributing the background music.

The League is back on Earth, but they encounter some things they could not expect!  Talking Gorillas, mind control, and a hidden city in Africa are just some of the surprises.  Gorilla City is protected by a force field that makes it look like a mountain. The city is populated with evolved Gorillas with advanced technology.  One of their own, Grodd, has made a play for power but was thwarted, and so he escapes to the U.S. With the help of scientist Dr. Sasha Corwin, he is using mind control to build the Gorilla City shield in Central City.  The Flash and Green Lantern are drawn in to the situation, but a "run before you know the details" Flash gets caught unaware, and falls under mind controll. Fortunately, Solovar, a good Gorilla from Gorilla City, has come to stop Grodd and the three of them team up in the pursuit. Grodd gets the jump on them though, and is able to turn on his force field causing Central City to disappear! Batman and the rest of the league find Gorilla city and try to find out what is going on but are captured. Grodd fires nuclear missiles at the city and turns off their shield. Green Lantern and the rest of the League stop the missiles just in time. Flash uses his super speed to rewire Grodd's mind control helmet to fry his brain. The League is thanked and Grodd is put in a zoo, but for how long?   Contact Information: If you want to join in the discussion, you can submit feedback via email to TomorrowsLegendsPodcast@gmail.com or at at https://www.speakpipe.com/TomorrowsLegends .

Turkey. Gravy. Cranberry Sauce. Those are the ingredients of a classic Thanksgiving dinner. But have you tried them in a Po-boy?

In this episode, we take a long-overdue look at one of the most acclaimed crimefighters in comics history, Will Eisner's The Spirit! Published in its own special insert in Sunday newspapers in the 1940s and early 50s, The Spirit featured seven- and eight-page stories about a masked hero in a suit and tie who helped the police of Central City fight criminal masterminds, underworld figures and slinky femmes fatales. Initially influenced by the pulps, The Spirit soon became known for short stories that showcased Eisner's genre-defying imagination and visual invention—stories in which the Spirit himself often wasn't even the main character! Starting with the 1940's “The Origin of the Spirit,” we dive into eight tales that demonstrate the wide range of this influential comic.
