We return with old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR, and radio suspense for a pre-Thanksgiving vigil, my dear—where family tables creak, footsteps count down to doom, and a song in the parlor hushes murderous hearts. Tonight's reliquary opens to four chillers, a clutch of shadows to keep the knives honest and the lights low. 

It's a mix of two-handers, adaptations, comedy, mystery, and horror with my favorite Suspense shows from 1945! Joseph Cotten is hunted by J. Carrol Naish in "The Most Dangerous Game" (originally aired on CBS on February 1, 1945), and William Bendix hunts for a missing necklace in "Pearls are a Nuisance" (originally aired on CBS on April 19, 1945). John Payne is a small town police chief in hot water in "Two Sharp Knives" (originally aired on CBS on June 7, 1945), and J. Carrol Naish is a blind cobbler with an ear for murder in "Footfalls" (originally aired on CBS on July 12, 1945). A customer from hell may run Joseph Kearns out of business in "Short Order" (originally aired on CBS on August 16, 1945), and a monster from hell may destroy the world - and Ronald Colman - in "The Dunwich Horror" (originally aired on CBS on November 1, 1945).

In this episode of Hoof Falls and Footfalls, we address a critical issue in the equine industry: the over-tightening of girths and cinches. Often done out of concern for student safety, over-tightening can have serious negative effects on lesson horses, including girthiness, reluctance to move forward, nerve damage, and even collapsing. We delve into the signs of over-tightening, share real-life experiences, and offer a simple, effective solution known as the one-hand method. Our mission is to educate and equip adaptive horseback riding instructors to ensure the wellbeing of both students and horses. Join us to learn better practices that will leave your lesson horses comfortable and happier.00:00 Introduction: The Problem with Over Tightening Girths00:32 Understanding the Dangers of Over Tightening02:05 Personal Experiences and Industry Insights04:05 Common Symptoms of Over Tightened Girths05:24 Severe Consequences of Over Tightening12:18 A Simple Solution: The One Hand Method16:57 Conclusion and Call to Action

A good story about a blind cobbler and his no-good son who refuses to work.

Samuel Beckett and Recent Irish Fiction: A Comparative Study (Routledge, 2025) considers Samuel Beckett's fiction and drama as major aesthetic and thematic influences on the work of Irish authors Eimear McBride, Keith Ridgway, Emma Donoghue, and Kevin Barry in the post-crash period of 2009-2015. Through cross-comparisons between the aesthetics and form of Beckett's Trilogy, Mercier and Camier, Footfalls and Not I, and those of a range of post-crash Irish novels including Beatlebone, Hawthorn and Child, Room, and A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing, this book establishes Beckett's continuing influence on Irish fiction. With particular reference to these newer authors' treatment of scarcity, trauma, indeterminism, gender and sexuality, and confinement in the context of major societal changes and traumas in Irish society since 2009, topics include the imposition of austerity, collapse of faith in institutions, and the increasing recognition of LGBTQIA+ and reproductive rights.

This recording of a live instructor chat discusses the use of bareback pads in adaptive/therapeutic riding lessons. It outlines key considerations for their use, including the impact on the rider and horse, as well as the equipment and support required for safe incorporation. The speaker emphasizes thoughtful decision-making and highlights that bareback pads can be used as a progression tool to build confidence, improve position, and refine skills rather than as a starting point for most students. Practical advice and personal experiences are shared to guide instructors in making informed choices. Outline: Introduction Overview of adaptive riding and bareback pad use. Importance of intentional equipment choices. Key Considerations for Using Bareback Pads Why Use a Bareback Pad? Impact on the Rider Impact on the Horse Tools and Support Applications in Lessons Gradual progression from saddles to bareback pads. Confidence-building exercises (e.g., Around the World, balance games). Use as a backup or low-impact lesson option. Final Thoughts Encouragement to assess individual needs of riders and horses. Practical advice for safe and effective implementation. Invitation for instructor feedback and discussion.
