Hey everyone, James Scully here. I've got a new webinar on Monday June 16th at 7PM that I'm very excited about on the story behind the CBS Talent Raids of the late 1940s and how it altered the radio landscape just as the TV era began. Here's a link for tickets and more info and if you can't make it live, don't worry I'll be emailing everyone who registers a video of it once it's over — https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-cbs-talent-raids-part-1-the-post-war-radio-era-webinar-tickets-1389789390479?aff=oddtdtcreator Here's an overview of the webinar below: In the fall of 1948, three of the four major radio networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — were funneling their soaring radio profits into the burgeoning television side of their businesses. And because all individual U.S. citizens were taxed 77% on all income over $70k (roughly $907k today), big stars of the day like Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, and Freeman Gosden had the idea to incorporate their popular shows as businesses in order to qualify for significant breaks under capital gains tax laws. What happened when the parent company of NBC, the nation's #1 network at the time, refused to make this deal? It's time to uncover how a smart bet by CBS helped it overtake its main rival during the golden age of radio and early television. Join James Scully — Radio historian and producer/host of Breaking Walls, the docu-podcast on the history of U.S. network radio broadcasting for a two-part series that explores the events surrounding the CBS Talent Raids of 1948, and the many men and women who benefited from this monumental period in entertainment. In Part One: Post-War Radio Era, we'll focus on how a tax code and the country's top comedian helped shift Network superiority from NBC to CBS right as the TV era began, including: • An overview of the radio and TV networks in the late 1940s, from how the radio industry grew from wireless telegraphy in the 1910s to one of the largest businesses in the United States • A look at the biggest stars of the day and their programs like Jack Benny, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Eve Arden, and Lucille Ball • Some of the big news stories of that era, including why the United States experienced so much labor turmoil as the baby boomer era began following the end of World War II • A play-by-play of the CBS Talent Raid, including why CBS head William S. Paley happily agreed to these capital gains deals when NBC's David Sarnoff was vehemently opposed; and which yet unknown stars benefited the most • How and why this deal changed the balance of power in the entertainment industry leading into the Television era Afterward, I'll do a Q&A — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged! Can't attend live? Not to worry! I'll be recording the event and sending the video out to all guests who register so you can watch it later. See you (virtually) there! Part 2 on the early Television era will be presented at a later date.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers It's a little after midnight on the morning of Monday January 9th. We're at P.J. Clarke's on the corner of 55th street and 3rd avenue, getting warm the best way we know how. The weather is nasty outside. It's about fifteen degrees with freezing rain and gale force winds. Clarke's is a bar from another time. It's wonderfully trapped in nostalgia—all burnished wood and chased mirrors. Orson Welles is opening King Lear at The City Center to good reviews. The years in Europe did him well, but he's happy to be back in New York. Welles is in the back with none other than Frank Sinatra. They've known each other since the 1930s, and since they both missed each other's fortieth birthdays last year, we're celebrating. Joining us is Jilly Rizzo and Bill Stern. The next round of drinks is on me. That's Daniel Levazzo. He bought the bar from the Clarke family a few years ago. Hey Dan, three Jacks straight up, a negroni for Orson, and I'll have Hendricks on the rocks. You want something? Hey Dan, let me borrow your phone, I've got to file my story. Hello Operator, give me CBS at 485 Madison Avenue please. (Beat) Yes I know what time it is. I'm a producer there. (Beat) Put me through. (Beat) Thank you. Some things never change. Hello Cindy, it's Scully. Is Ed Murrow still there? (Beat) Could you put me through to him? (Beat) Thank you. (Beat) Hey Ed, It's James Scully. I'm glad I caught you. Bill Paley's got you burning the midnight oil huh? (Beat) I did. Orson was good. I'm a P.J. Clarke's with him and Sinatra right now. Bill Stern's here too. You want to swing by? I'll get Dan Levazzo to break out the moonshine. (Beat) With those two? We'll be here a while. (Beat) Ha! Ok I'll see you soon. Ed Murrow's a good man. The gang will be happy to see him. Dan, Do me a favor, turn the TV up for a second. The Tonight Show with Steve Allen is just finishing on NBC-TV and there's a little news item on the tube before programming signs off. Everyone is talking about Grace Kelly's engagement to Prince Rainier III of Monaco. It was announced in Philadelphia on January 5th and their party is going to be at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel here in New York. Grace and Rainier went their separate ways on Saturday. She's going back to Hollywood to keep working on High Society. The only thing is, one of her co-stars is Sinatra, and he'll be in no mood to fly to the coast tomorrow. That's not the only talk of love and marriage going on around New York City. Look at that Sunday Daily News cover. Heiress Juliette Wehle stood up her husband-to-be on their wedding day. She supposedly slipped away at 2AM wearing just a negligee to elope with another man. Don't worry, it's not a roving producer from CBS. The twenty-year-old heiress later returned home, unmarried. Excuse me, I'm missing out on the fun. Oh, before I go, I should say that the story of a woman jilting one man for another is ironically a centerpiece in the upcoming plot within Yours Truly Johnny Dollar's “The Todd Matter.” The first episode will air later tonight at 8:15PM over CBS radio. And remember, it stars Bob Bailey.
Presented by TwinSpires Trainer Tim Yakteen looks back on his big year with turf star Johannes, and trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. looks ahead to White Abarrio in Saturday's G3 Mr. Prospector.

Connor and Dylan are joined by James Scully (Oh, Mary!, Fire Island). Welcome to a brand new episode of DRAMA. The twins and James become fast friends, some might even say sisters, as James tunes in from his dressing room at the Lyceum Theatre. Basking in bisexual lighting, this Broadway star spills on his role as Mary's Teacher in Oh, Mary! James gushes over the brilliance of Cole Escola, his character's pants giving Fiyero's a run for its money, and the stars that have taken in this hysterical romp, including RuPaul, Julia Murney, and Rita Moreno. But first, it truly all began with James' star turn as a Porcupine in a Christmas pageant. He takes us through his iconic list of Ring of Keys moments, ranging from cast albums to Emma Thompson to Stanley Tucci and beyond. James is a sweet and humble boy who gives flowers throughout, especially to his brilliant partner Julio Torres. We cover his time filming “You” with Penn Badgley, Fire Island with his Oh, Mary! co-star Conrad Ricamora, and the Broadway rumor mill. In this episode, the boys pay special tribute to their hero, Gavin Creel, reflecting on his beautiful impact on them and the world. We had such a blast kiki-ing and laughing with James when the three of us really needed it, and maybe you will too. Go see him shine in Oh, Mary!Follow James on InstagramFollow DRAMA. on Twitter & Instagram & TiktokFollow Connor MacDowell on Twitter & InstagramFollow Dylan MacDowell on Twitter & InstagramSubscribe to our show on iHeartRadio Broadway!Support the podcast by subscribing to DRAMA+, which also includes bonus episodes, Instagram Close Friends content, and more!
