Enjoy two free drama episodes of Night Beat w/ Frank Lovejoy A) 9/25/50 A Case of Butter B) 9/4/52 The Bomb on Flight 63 Frank Lovejoy starred as Randy Stone (in the pilot his name was “Lucky” Stone), a war hero and streetwise journalist, who combed Chicago's windy streets after office hours – during the “Night Beat” – in search of human-interest stories. A prolific newspaper columnist for the Chicago Star, Randy was a hardboiled yet kind-hearted character and his laconic style came in handy when talking bad guys out of doing vile deeds. Airing from 1950 until 1952, NBC referred to the program as a “dramatic thriller” but that wasn't completely accurate and Night Beat seemed to defy classification. It wasn't really a detective series and there was no sidekick, little violence, and no bullying newspaper editor screaming on the phone about deadlines. Focusing on the psychology of the characters and their motivation, the series was cerebral in nature. The dialogue was rhythmic and hypnotic, the music of Frank Worth set the mood, and the critics raved. Less than a year after the radio program went off the air, Frank Lovejoy reprised his role as Randy Stone for a would-be pilot episode of television's weekly anthology, Four Star Playhouse. The gritty tough-guy dialogue of the radio scripts was better suited to the airwaves and the pilot never went beyond the initial airing.

Welcome, friends, to another episode of the Real Life Podcast! It's the weekly podcast that starts with an agenda and the hosts get to absolutely none of it. This week, the guys touch on Oilers' Twitter/Instagram, the Super Bowl, the deep freeze in Edmonton, Connor McDavid, and a whole lot more.  With the Oilers back in action after their bye week, there was a lot to talk about but, as usual, the guys got to absolutely none of it... at least to start. Instead, they looked in their favourite topic in the whole world — memes! One of the most interesting things that have happened over the last little while in Edmonton is the social media surrounding the Edmonton Oilers. Over the past few months, meme accounts that revolve around the Oilers have exploded and Baggedmilk and Wanye get into how great that scene is, including a look at some of the brightest stars. Next up, the guys take a look at the Super Bowl, leaving Jay to talk about the game while Wanye and Baggedmilk couldn't seem to care less. That said, Baggedmilk certainly has strong feelings about the Patriots winning a championship and the guys discuss what it must be like to be a sports fan in Boston. Surely, the good times can roll on forever, right? To end things off, the guys actually get on topic as Wanye reveals some insider information about Connor McDavid and this whole narrative that he wants to leave Edmonton. Needless to say, there's a lot to unpack here and you're going to want to get this week's episode into your earholes as quickly as possible.  Hosted on Acast.

Nightbeat - Broadcast on NBC, Nightbeat ran from 1949 to 1952 and starred Frank Lovejoy as Randy Stone, a tough and streetwise reporter who worked the nightbeat for the Chicago Star looking for human interest stories. He met an assortment of people, most of them with a problem, many of them scared, and sometimes he was able to help them, sometimes he wasn’t. It is generally regarded as a ‘quality’ show and it stands up extremely well. Frank Lovejoy (1914-1962) isn’t remembered today, but he was a powerful and believable actor with a strong delivery, and his portrayal of Randy Stone as tough guy with humanity was perfect. The scripts were excellent, given that they had to pack in a lot in a short time, and there was a good supporting cast, orchestra, and sound effects. ‘The Slasher’, broadcast on 10 November 1950, the last show of season one, has a very loosely Ripper-derived plot in which Stone searches for an artist. Supporting actors included Parley Baer, William Conrad, Jeff Corey, Lawrence Dobkin, Paul Frees, Jack Kruschen, Peter Leeds, Howard McNear, Lurene Tuttle and Martha Wentworth.THIS EPISODE:May 29, 1950.
