Podcasts about Marlowe

A seemingly priceless Confederate half dollar turns a routine assignment into a trail of murder, double-crosses, and family greed. When Philip Marlowe follows the money behind a collector's obsession, he finds himself chasing a stolen coin, a fake identity, and a killer who is always one step ahead.Philip Marlowe, played by Gerald Moore, takes a case that starts with a rare coin sale and quickly spirals into a tightly wound noir puzzle. A client is murdered, a collector is defrauded, and the evidence points in more than one direction - from a shady dealer to a frantic heir and a suspicious niece with her own agenda.You'll discover how Marlowe pieces together the scam using nothing but sharp instincts, pressure, and a willingness to walk straight into danger. The episode builds around a stolen 1861 Confederate half dollar, a staged impersonation, and a chain of suspects who all seem to know more than they're saying. Along the way, you get the full bite of classic radio noir: tense stakeouts, hard-boiled banter, and a final reveal that rewrites everything you thought you knew.This is a story about greed, inheritance, and the dangerous value people place on objects that should be worthless. The stakes keep climbing as Marlowe realizes he's not just tracking a coin - he's exposing a family secret, a murder plot, and a con built to cash in before anyone sees it coming.Essential listening if you love old-time radio, Raymond Chandler, or crime stories where every answer creates a bigger problem. By the time the dust settles, you'll want to hear how Marlowe handles the fallout.Cast and credits: Gerald Moore stars as Philip Marlowe. This episode is a radio adaptation from Raymond Chandler's world, produced and directed by Richard Sanville and written for radio by Robert Mitchell and Gene Levitt.

On September 26, 1948, Gerald Mohr went on the air as Raymond Chandler's private eye in The Adventures of Philip Marlowe. His debut adventure was an adaptation of Chandler's short story "Red Wind." Coincidentally, "Red Wind" was also adapted as the first episode of the 1947 series of Philip Marlowe mysteries starring Van Heflin. It's the only story to air with both Heflin and Mohr starring as Marlowe, and we'll compare their performances with both episodes. Plus, we'll hear Marlowe meet Marlowe as Gerald Mohr guest stars opposite Van Heflin in "The King in Yellow" (originally aired on CBS on July 8, 1947).

They experienced technical difficulties with the screen sharing quality, but managed to play through significant portions of the demo including the tutorial labyrinth, cultist encounters, and puzzle-solving mechanics. Jose demonstrated the game's survival horror elements, crafting system, and challenging combat sequences, particularly noting the terrifying Chatterer Cenobite enemy and the game's explicit content. They discussed the game's graphics, atmosphere, and puzzles, with Jose praising the artwork and labyrinth design while noting the difficulty level on easy settings. The session revealed the game's focus on stealth mechanics, body horror elements, and the player's role as Sunny, who must navigate both Earth and Hell while dealing with cultists and Cenobites.   Game Demo Review Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed playing through a demo game, with Jose having completed about 40 minutes of play on the easy difficulty setting. They reviewed the game's graphics and content, including a home invasion scenario involving cultists and a puzzle box. Jose noted the high quality of the artwork and design elements in the game, particularly the apartment setting with details like a boombox and drug addiction information. Labyrinth Horror Game Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed playing a game set in a labyrinthine environment with horror elements, comparing it to Resident Evil and Portal. They explored the game's tutorial section, noting its atmospheric lighting and challenging navigation. Jose encountered various obstacles and creatures while trying to find a way through the labyrinth, with both players commenting on the game's scary and gross elements.

The conversation included observations about the game's visual elements and cutscenes, with Jose taking screenshots of the gameplay.

The game features interactive elements where players must break binds using the F button, and includes a crafting system where players can collect items to make bandages and coins. The discussion revealed that the game's box loads on suffering, and players will encounter various cultists and interactive challenges throughout the gameplay. Scarlet Church Game Demo Exploration Jose and Ryan discussed exploring a game demo set in the Scarlet Church, where they discovered they needed to interact with rotting corpses to find puzzle pieces. They identified that progress in the demo would not transfer to the full game, as it was separate from the actual game experience. Throughout their exploration, they found various items including paint, blemished diamonds, and a palette, while uncovering more of the game's narrative elements. Cultist Navigation and Discovery Mission Jose and Ryan discussed navigating a compound while encountering cultists and dealing with a body. Jose successfully opened a locked container using lockpicking skills similar to Skyrim. They encountered enemies who shot Jose, though he was able to continue the mission. The pair discovered an elevator and a bloody tunnel, eventually finding their way to an alley where they observed discarded bodies in dumpsters.

Jose struggled to locate a keycard needed to advance, but eventually found it after some trial and error.

A murder trial, a missing blackmail trail, and a hard-boiled detective who spots the real killer hiding in plain sight. The Quiet Magpie turns a courtroom slam-dunk into a deadly race against time, where every clue points one way—until Philip Marlowe notices the detail everyone else misses. When Vincent Callaway is accused of killing his father, the evidence looks airtight: a bitter family feud, a contested will, and a glamorous wife with secrets of her own. But Marlowe and Felix Loman begin peeling back the case, uncovering a staged robbery and a mysterious man named Stoner who may hold the key to everything. Marlowe follows the trail from the courtroom to a hidden house on North Ogden Drive, then to Bunker Hill and a dangerous refinery showdown. Along the way, Joyce Callaway's secrets come to light, and an elaborate blackmail scheme begins to unravel. Featuring tense mystery, crackling dialogue, and a classic noir twist, this episode is perfect for fans of old-school radio drama, Raymond Chandler-style detective fiction, and suspense stories where the final clue changes everything.

But Jack has reinvented himself in Los Angeles, and what starts as a mercy mission quickly spirals into a racket built on buried romance, stolen letters, and a powerful club owner who doesn't want the truth exposed.You'll discover:Why Peggy Grant's past with producer George Moncini makes her current success dangerously vulnerableHow Ross Holland uses power, money, and fear to control the people around himWhat Marlowe uncovers when “old friends” start acting like hired muscleWhy a handful of letters can threaten careers, reputations, and livesHow Marlowe keeps pushing toward the truth even after he's beaten, misled, and nearly shut outThe episode keeps tightening the noose as Marlowe follows the trail from a doctor's office to a nightclub, then into the Hollywood Hills, where the real motive finally comes into focus.

What if all the various radioactive spiders, gamma bomb detonations, and cosmic ray exposures in the origins of Marvel's superheroes were not accidents, but rather the calculated machinations of a shadowy organization within the U.S. government? That's the question asked by Conspiracy, a two-issue miniseries from 1998 written by Dan Abnett and painted by Igor Kordej. Is this comic sort of an “anti-Marvels”? Cameron Kunzelman of RangedTouch.com returns to the podcast (as he does from time to time as the Secret Third Co-Host) to make the case!

A dying man's last wish sends Philip Marlowe into a decaying Spanish castle where a young scholar has become obsessed with a 16th-century tyrant, an iron coffin, and a battle that may not be imaginary at all. If you like hardboiled mystery with gothic chills, this one starts with a missing couple and ends with Marlowe staring down the line between superstition and something far more dangerous.Marlowe is hired by a worried mother to find Bennett Virago and her daughter Irene, but the trail leads to Point Estero, a rebuilt fortress on the California coast with a reputation that makes locals uneasy. Inside are relics, sealed crypts, a cryptic servant named Ramiro, and a legend about Peter the Cruel that everyone claims is only a story - until the evidence starts lining up in ways that are hard to ignore.You'll discover:Why Bennett's obsession with Spanish history has become something closer to possessionHow a spring tide, a moored sailboat, and a submerged crypt become the key to cracking the caseWhat makes the iron coffin at the heart of the castle so unnervingHow Marlowe uses logic to cut through a haunting that feels too real to dismissRamiro, the castle's lifelong servant, and Irene's frightened but determined family both add pieces to the puzzle, while Marlowe keeps pushing past the ghost stories to find the human danger underneath. The result is classic Chandler atmosphere: fog, rot, class, obsession, and one detective who refuses to be fooled by the dark.Perfect for fans of noir, old-time radio, and mystery stories where the setting is as memorable as the crime. Press play if you want a tense, atmospheric episode that turns a haunted castle into a razor-sharp detective case.

Signs of Life's Medium & Messages with Host: #FFFCertifiedMedium Joe Perreta and Guest: FFFCertifiedMedium Nancy Marlowe When Love Sends a Sign: Mediumship, Grief, Spirit Messages, and Unexpected Connections Summary A Conversation About Grief, Worth, and Inner Strength Joe Perreta opens the program with Forever Family Foundation announcements, including an upcoming psychic and mediumship development convention and a winter grief transformation retreat. He introduces guest medium Nancy Marlowe and describes her background in tested and evidential mediumship. Their early conversation centers on Marlowe's book Let Your Soul Shine and the emotional struggles she says she encounters in people dealing with bereavement, broken relationships, loneliness, and diminished self-worth. Marlowe says the book is meant to remind readers that each individual is unique, loved, and capable of making a difference. She emphasizes kindness, spiritual connection, and the idea that a simple smile or compassionate act can create a positive ripple through other people's lives. Kindness, Humor, and the Everyday Human Connection The host and guest move into a lighter discussion about smiling at strangers, Southern accents, and the difference between social interactions in California and New York City. Perreta recalls how smiling at people after returning from California felt unusual on the streets of Manhattan, while Marlowe encourages him to keep doing it. Their banter reinforces the larger theme that kindness costs nothing and can have effects beyond the original interaction. Perreta also praises the value of a short book carrying a large message, while Marlowe reiterates that people should remember their strength, their worth, and their ability to influence others positively. Humor throughout this section keeps the discussion conversational while maintaining the focus on compassion and personal meaning. Psychic Investigation and Claims of Information From the Deceased Perreta asks Marlowe about her experiences working on cold cases and investigations because he participates in a paranormal program combining true crime and psychic investigation. Marlowe says she has worked on numerous cases and recounts her claimed involvement with the BTK case, the Natalee Holloway case, and a medical case involving a woman whose daughter died during a routine procedure. She describes psychic information as puzzle-solving and says deceased people sometimes come to her in dreams with instructions or details about what happened. Perreta relates this to his own interest in mysteries and his work on Voices from the Grave, including an investigation involving the Black Dahlia murder. Both speakers frame these experiences as psychic or mediumistic perceptions rather than conventional investigative proof. Debbie's Reading and the Search for Reassurance The first caller, Debbie from New York, requests a spirit connection. Marlowe says she senses a profound loss, ongoing grief, and a person who is trying to communicate that they remain close to Debbie. She describes possible signs in the backyard, kitchen, and around familiar sensory experiences, while also acknowledging that she is not receiving many specific identifying details. The reading then shifts to a deceased dog, with Marlowe describing the sound of toenails, closeness, warmth, and the possibility of feeling pressure beside Debbie at night. The central message offered to Debbie is that both the deceased person and the pet remain near her and are attempting to provide comfort. Bonnie's Son, Electronic Signs, and Thelma's Family Connection Bonnie from California asks primarily for mediumship and first receives a description of a maternal, talkative, loving woman she identifies as her nanny. She then asks about her deceased son, and Marlowe describes his death as sudden, tragic, and not something Bonnie could have prevented. Perreta joins the reading after saying he has been receiving an image involving batteries and electronics, which Bonnie connects to unusual behavior involving a photo on her cell phone and rapid battery drain. The hosts discuss electronics, lights, phones, butterflies, hummingbirds, and feathers as possible signs from spirits. The next caller, Thelma from Georgia, receives impressions involving a man who smoked, another person associated with reading and news, and someone who experienced severe breathing difficulty before death; Marlowe encourages her to speak to deceased loved ones and listen for responses. Dawn's Career Concerns, a Beloved Dog, and the Closing Message Dawn from Kentucky asks about a career loss that occurred several months earlier and says she is struggling to maintain faith that she can regain what she lost. Marlowe tells her that the future opportunity may not be in the same job or company but says she sees Dawn moving forward through persistence, creativity, experience, and help from her angels. Perreta then describes a deceased dog that loved being outdoors, had breathing or lung problems, and felt like a soulmate to Dawn; he later connects Dawn's deceased mother, Pat, with the dog. He also offers an impression about a group work project, delegation, and coworkers paying attention to Dawn's performance. The episode closes with Marlowe explaining how listeners can join her reading waitlist and Perreta reminding the audience that healing, continued bonds, and the possibility of life beyond physical death are the program's central themes.

It's Friday, July 31st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Syrians in America have to leave the country The expiration of Temporary Protected Status for Syrians in America this week has renewed attention on the fragile security environment facing civilians in Syria, particularly Christians who remain vulnerable 18 months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship in this 87% Muslim country, reports International Christian Concern. Temporary Protected Status is a humanitarian immigration designation that allows nationals of countries experiencing armed conflict to remain and work legally in the United States for a limited period. The designation does not provide a pathway to permanent residency but shields recipients from deportation while conditions in their home country are deemed unsafe for return. In December 2024, rebel forces, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, forced al-Assad from power.  Al-Sharaa's group had previously been associated with Muslim jihadist movements, including al-Qaeda. Before the Syrian civil war, Christians represented a significant minority of Syria's population concentrated in Damascus — where the Apostle Paul was converted on the street. While Christians have not experienced the same level of targeted mass violence as other groups, there has been harassment and attacks on Christian communities. President Trump floats temporarily pulling Blache nomination to be AG President Donald Trump said on July 30 that he was willing to temporarily withdraw his nomination of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General until next year, if two Republican senators continued to withhold their support, reports The Epoch Times. Blanche's nomination has been held up in the Senate Judiciary Committee after Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina said they would not back bringing it to the floor for a full vote. Those two votes are necessary for the nomination to advance. Earlier this year, both Cornyn and Tillis lost their bid for re-election after President Trump endorsed their opponents during the primaries. The president now intends to wait them out. In the meantime, Blanche will remain the acting head of the Department of Justice. You can express your objection to the senators for dragging their feet by calling Senator John Cornyn at 202-224-2934 and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina at 202-224-6342.

Dr. Fauci invoked Fifth Amendment 90 times in GOP-led committee In a hearing of the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on July 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced in his opening statement that he would invoke the Fifth Amendment and not answer any questions about his culpability in a cover-up about the source of the COVID-19 virus or what happened subsequently. Listen. FAUCI: “Members of the committee, I served at the NIH for over 54 years, 38 of those as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Over that period, I proved that I believe in and respect the value of legitimate congressional oversight. In fact, I testified before and/or briefed Senate and House committees well over 200 times over those 38 years. During and after the COVID pandemic, I have appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House, usually under oath, and sat for several days-long, transcribed, sworn interviews answering questions about the very issues that are now the subject of this hearing. “However, given Senator [Rand] Paul's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars'. “Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion. Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, to refrain from answering your questions.” Over the course of his time in front of the Senate Committee, Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a whopping 111 times, reports Fox News. Dr. Fauci stonewalled Senator Rand Paul numerous times Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly stonewalled Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The senator started with asking about former President Joe Biden's bizarre “full and unconditional” pardon of Dr. Fauci. PAUL:  “As a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President, have you refused this pardon? Or do you have any reason to believe this full and unconditional pardon, this grant of immunity, would somehow require you to plead the Fifth Amendment?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL: “Based on the facts presented, I'm going to direct you to answer the questions. The committee has issued a valid subpoena. They have requested your presence here. The questions are very pertinent to your decision making as head of [the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases], as well as a chief advisor to the president, do you still refuse to answer the questions?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Were you ever made aware of gain-of-function research on monkeypox being conducted at the National Bio Defense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, and back at Fort Detrick, [the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969]?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Dr. Fauci, did the CIA ever transfer funds to [the National Institutes of Health] under interagency agreement?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” And Senator Rand Paul took this parting shot. PAUL: “The chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer, but you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon. The committee will have to consider after this hearing what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so. “It's against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today.” Watchdog group: Medical groups should condemn transgender surgeries on minors The medical watchdog group, Do No Harm, is calling on 10 major medical associations to explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors, reports The Daily Signal. On July 29th, Do No Harm sent open letters to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association among others. In the letter, the group wrote, “Do No Harm, and its 54,000 members, are calling on your society to publicly reject genital surgery on minors for the purpose of producing [so-called] ‘gender transitions.' While this process is uncommon, we believe that it should never occur.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Have you not read that [God], who created them from the beginning, made them male and female?” Marijuana should not be reclassified as a less dangerous drug Marijuana could be reclassified as a less dangerous substance under federal law. Kevin Sabet, CEO of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and the former drug policy advisor for the Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama presidential administrations as well as President Trump's former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, thinks that would be a terrible idea. He said that reclassifying marijuana as a drug with accepted medical use and a lower risk of abuse than drugs subject to greater controls would be reckless. Sabet added, “The evidence presented at the hearing confirmed what decades of data have shown: Raw marijuana has no scientifically established medical value and carries a high risk of abuse. Today's marijuana is more dangerous than ever before. [Reclassifying] marijuana would create the false impression that it is safe, would reduce penalties for peddling the drug illegally and would give those who purvey it legally a huge tax windfall. That would be a disaster.”  The Department of Justice held a hearing last month to consider it at President Donald Trump's request. Despite the fact that President Trump is a teetotaler who eschews alcohol and drugs, he told his administration last December to push forward on easing marijuana restrictions, after an aggressive lobbying push by advocates including a cannabis CEO, a Florida sheriff, and a Mar-a-Lago member, the Wall Street Journal previously reported. Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, previously wrote, “Use of cannabis increases a person's chance of developing a bipolar disorder or schizophrenia by an average of 47%. It's also shown to significantly increase hallucinations and paranoia. “In fact, it's been determined that regular use of medical marijuana leads to a higher chance of heart attack, stroke and coronary artery disease. … If the established goal is to make America healthy and great again, this objective will not be reached by increasing access to poisonous pot.” In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the Apostle Paul asked, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” Montana listeners like our brevity and updates on the persecuted Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes, Winston and Heather Royal in Helena, Montana, wrote, “Adam, we appreciate the newscast because it's short, to the point, and from a Christian perspective. We appreciate hearing about our Christian brothers and sisters around the world. And we often listen to it at breakfast time. Thank you for your work!” Texas listener values boldness and truthfulness of The Worldview And Byron Barlowe in Plano, Texas wrote, “Adam, your newscast is something I've evangelized about for four reasons. I find the integration of a Biblical worldview into reporting the news to be effective and refreshing. Brevity matters more than ever. I also relate to the brevity of your newscast since Probe Ministries, a group I write for, produces a 3-minute daily feature. The candor among you and the two other writers of The Worldview is bold, truthful, and necessary. For example, I appreciate your reference to homosexual faux marriage instead of so-called ‘gay marriage.' Spade-calling is truth-telling and, when done in a gracious spirit led by the Spirit of God, can have good effect. You have a golden radio voice that emanates masculinity without undue forcefulness. Both women and men need that in the era of so-called ‘toxic masculinity' and the feminized Church which follows a confused culture. I just like it, too.” Byron, thanks for your encouragement as we use the instruments of our laptops and voice to communicate. 23 Worldview listeners gave $13,150.04 And finally, by Thursday night at 9:00pm Central, 23 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year.

So, as I've said over the last several days, if you have been waiting until the last minute, this … is … it!  We could really use your help.  The finish line is upon us. Perhaps in our national audience, there are three others, just like Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas, who feel led by God to give a one-time gift of $5,000. If that $15,000 comes in, we would need just 15 people to either give a one-time gift of $1,000 or make a monthly pledge of $83.33 for 12 months which adds up to $1,000. If all of that is way out of your budget, just give what you can. $10. $20. $30. Every dollar gets us closer. Now, if you can't give a dime, then pray. Pray that God would stir the hearts of those who can give!

On the evening of December 24, 1926, a farmer in Farwell, Texas, called the sheriff to report that his neighbor, George Hassell, had been acting very strangely in recent days and he had been telling conflicting stories about the whereabouts of his family, who had been missing for several days. When the sheriff arrived at the Hassell farm, he began questioning George about where his family had gone, but mid conversation, Hassell removed a pocket knife from his pocket and stabbed himself three times in the chest.  Hassell was taken to the hospital, where he was not expected to survive, but against the odds, George pulled through. With no option for escape and having given law enforcement good reason to suspect him in the disappearance of his family, George began confessing to multiple murders. At first, it was assumed he had flown into a rage and murdered his family a week earlier, but the more Hassell talked, the clearer it became that George Hassell violent and murderous behavior went well beyond the walls of his home in Farwell.

We're diving deep into "The Long Goodbye," a flick that flips the classic noir on its head, starring the ever-cool Elliott Gould as Philip Marlowe. This episode is all about how Marlowe, a man totally out of time, navigates the wild, weird world of 70s LA, grappling with loyalty, betrayal, and his own cat's demands. We chat about the brilliant Robert Altman and how this film's vibes have influenced a ton of modern cinema, from Tarantino to Anderson. Plus, there's some serious banter on the film's quirky characters and the absurdity of Marlowe's escapades, like trying to get cat food at 3 AM. So grab your popcorn, kick back, and let's unravel this cinematic gem together!Check out Anomaly on Social Media!www.anomalyfilmfest.comInstagram: @anomalyfilmfestFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnomalyFilmFest/Join us for the Anomaly Film Festival every November in Downtown Rochester, NY!Mentioned in this episode:It's A LotCheck out It's A Lot on Lunchador! https://feeds.captivate.fm/itsalot/ Common ThreadCheck out Common Thread on Lunchador! https://feeds.captivate.fm/common-threads-hardcore/ Joe Bean RoastersJoe Bean Coffee - Coffee that lifts everyone. https://shop.joebeanroasters.comConnections with Evan DawsonConnections with Evan Dawson - Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts connections

Antitheatrical writers in early modern England compared the actor's transformation into a character to a kind of illicit magic. In response, playwrights like William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, and Ben Jonson created a body of plays that treated the conjuror's circle as a mirror of the theater. This episode brings you a story of magicians, witches, and the spectacles they conjured: the story of magic on the early modern English stage.Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben with original music by Purple Planet.Episode sourcesSupport the showEnchantedPodcast.netBluesky/enchantedpodcast.net

Episode: 1594 The Mad Scientist -- he keeps coming back.  Today, the mad scientist.

We continue our look at actors who played multiple gumshoes on the air with Gerald Mohr - who, for my money, gave us the definitive portrayal of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe. But Mr. Mohr wasn't only Mr. Marlowe on the air. He also put in a four-episode stint as Archie Goodwin to Sydney Greenstreet's Nero Wolfe. We'll hear Mohr as Marlowe in three radio mysteries: "The Hard Way Out" (originally aired on CBS on November 28, 1948); "The Feminine Touch" (originally aired on CBS on May 7, 1949); and "The Dark Tunnel" (originally aired on CBS on August 18, 1950). Then he's Archie Goodwin in "The Case of the Phantom Fingers" (originally aired on NBC on January 26, 1951). Finally, we'll hear his audition as "the man with the action-packed expense account" - Johnny Dollar.

A dying woman swears there's a prowler downstairs, but what her husband finds in the dark kitchen is a timid little ghost who can't remember why he's come.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Host E.G. Marshall, a script by Ian Martin, and Mandel Kramer in the lead carry this January 23, 1978 tale of a haunting that proves gentler, and far stranger, than it first appears.Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles private detective Philip Marlowe takes the wheel in "The Grim Echo," skidding off a blizzard-blind mountain road and into a snow-filled culvert directly in front of Echo Lodge — the one place on earth where the name Philip Marlowe is pure poison. Six months earlier Marlowe shot and killed Virgil Barucki in a Los Angeles alley, and now the storm has trapped him with Barucki's grieving widow Helen, his sister Donna, his mother, and the handyman Ralph Tolman, while an "accidental" cabin explosion and a stolen .38 revolver make it clear that someone inside Echo Lodge wants him frozen, or dead. Gerald Mohr stars in this February 14, 1950 chiller.Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar sends the freelance insurance investigator with the action-packed expense account into "The Ghost To Ghost Matter," after a frantic Oscar Trimley telephones from the sleepy mill town of Lake City, New Jersey, swearing that Ian McAndrews — the town's founder, dead five years and already paid out at $55,000 on his life policy — has come back to haunt the streets. Every midnight the old clock tower strikes thirteen, bats pour from the belfry, and a wail rises over the lake, so Dollar brings along old flame Nancy Turner to size up a town that insists its founder's ghost simply won't rest. Bob Bailey stars in this May 18, 1958 mystery out of Hartford, Connecticut.The Black Mass adapts M.R. James's classic "The Ash Tree," set at Castringham Hall in Suffolk, England, where the witch trials of 1690 brought the hanging of Mrs. Mothersole — condemned largely on the testimony of Sir Matthew Fell, who swore he watched her climb the great ash tree beside the house at the full of the moon to cut twigs with a peculiarly curved knife. When Sir Matthew is found dead and black in his bed beneath that same tree, the curse the witch promised begins working its way down through the generations of the Fell family and through whatever still lives inside the hollow trunk of the ash. A December 18, 1963 telling of one of the most quietly horrifying ghost stories ever written.The Adventures of Michael Shayne brings private detective Mike Shayne and his secretary Phyllis Knight into "Big Voice Means a Big Body," when 230-pound opera star Madame Jolene Toulot sweeps into the office waving an anonymous letter that threatens her life if she publishes her scandalous tell-all memoirs. With a roster of suspects who'd all rather stay out of the book — old suitor Roderick MacKenzie of the Newport MacKenzies, ex-husband and aspiring congressman Edwin Buck, rival soprano Leonora Baril, and the maestro Savadel — Shayne heads to the Figaro Theatre for a double bill of Pagliacci and Cavalleria Rusticana, where the diva's fifth farewell performance takes a fatal turn. Wally Maher and Cathy Lewis star in this May 7, 1945 case.Beyond Midnight, the eerie South African series, presents "The Yellow Room," in which the avowed atheist Ronald Todd accepts a wager from the elderly Mrs. Watts: one thousand pounds to spend a single night, entirely alone, in the haunted north wing of Chancellors — the very room where the ghost-hunting sixth Duke of Wallingford lost his sanity and a captain of the Hussars leapt to his death. Over Father Doyle's warnings, Todd is locked in with seven candles for company and a copy of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, and as the clock passes midnight the candles begin going out one by one. Michael McCabe produced this June 6, 1969 broadcast.MindWebs turns to science fiction with Clifford Simak's "Desertion," set in Dome Number Three of the Jovian Survey Commission on the surface of Jupiter, where the planet's crushing fifteen thousand pounds per square inch of pressure and its ammonia rains make unprotected human life impossible. To conquer it, Kent Fowler has been converting his men into "lopers," the planet's native life form — but four men have already loped out into the howling gale two by two and never come back, and now young Harold Allen is next through Miss Stanley's converter. When Fowler at last sends out his own aging dog, Towser, the truth about why no one returns finally begins to surface. A February 18, 1982 reading hosted by Michael Hansen.Mystery in the Air stars Peter Lorre in Ben Hecht's "The Marvelous Barastro," opening as the magician and hypnotist Barastro walks into the office of criminal lawyer Amos G. Hall and calmly announces that he intends to commit a murder before the night is out. His target is Rico Sansoni, a rival hypnotist who once stole away the affections of Barastro's blind wife Anna by studying and mastering the magician's own voice — close enough to deceive even her in the dark. As Barastro recounts hunting his enemy from country to country and city to city, the line between the two illusionists grows harder and harder to draw. An August 7, 1947 broadcast sponsored by Camel cigarettes.Molle Mystery Theater closes the night on a lighter note with the comedy "Follow That Cab," starring two New York City cabbies, Mo and Julius, who have read so many issues of Absolutely Authentic True Crime Fiction — and idolized its hero, detective Daniel Daremore — that they're convinced they can crack any case. When a fare leaps from the cab without paying and a song publisher named Larkin turns up shot dead in his apartment, the pair wipe away the fingerprints to make the murder "more baffling," let their prime suspect walk, and bumble their way toward a stolen song called "Joan," a desperate songwriter named Boynton, and a mysterious redhead. Written by Sid and Larry Sloan, this April 19, 1946 farce sends up the whole hardboiled detective genre with host Jeffrey Barnes presiding.

In the third and final installment of the series, President Theodore Roosevelt mobilizes the full industrial might of United States to “make the dirt fly” in Panama and succeed where the French Syndicate failed. But many perils await them in “The Zone”. From disease-bearing mosquitos and intractable terrain, to labor problems and lethal accidents, the Panamanian jungle will not be tamed without a fight.    SOURCES: Burton, Anthony.
