Paul Cunningham, Political Correspondent, on TD Michael Fitzmaurice joining the country's newest political party Independent Ireland.

We talk to Roscommon-Galway TD Michael Fitzmaurice.

The Galway-Roscommon TD, who has been one of the most high-profile independent deputies in the Dáil, is to join the new political party, Independent Ireland.

With Lon Clark in the title role, the series commenced 11 April 1943, on Mutual, continuing in many different timeslots for well over a decade. Between October 1944 and April 1945, it was heard as a 30-minute program on Sunday afternoons at 3 pm, sponsored by Acme Paints and Lin-X, with a 15-minute serial airing four or five times a week in 1944 from April to September. In April 1945, the Sunday series moved to 6pm, continuing in that timeslot until June 1946, and it was also heard in 1946 on Tuesday from March to August. Sponsored by Cudahy Packing and Old Dutch Cleanser and later Acme Products (makers of such home-improvement chemicals as Kem-Tone paints and Lin-X floor-cleaning waxes, a near-rival to the more-popular Johnson's Wax products heard on numerous NBC Radio shows at the same time), the series finally settled in on Sundays at 6:30 pm for broadcasts from August 18, 1946 to September 21, 1952. Libby Packing was the sponsor when the drama aired on Sundays at 6pm (1952–53). In the last two years of the long run (1953–55), the show was heard Sundays at 4:30 pm. Jock MacGregor was the producer-director of scripts by Alfred Bester, Milton J. Kramer, David Kogan and others. Background music was supplied by organists Hank Sylvern, Lew White and George Wright. Walter B. Gibson, co-creator/writer of The Shadow pulp novels, was fired when he asked for a raise in 1946, and then became head writer for the Nick Carter radio series. Oddly enough, he never liked to write scripts for the radio version of The Shadow, though both characters were published by Street & Smith. Patsy Bowen, Nick's assistant, was portrayed by Helen Choate until mid-1945; then Charlotte Manson stepped into the role. Nick and Patsy's friend was reporter Scubby Wilson (John Kane). Sgt. Mathison (Ed Latimer) was Nick's contact at the police department. The supporting cast included Raymond Edward Johnson, Bill Johnstone and Bryna Raeburn. Michael Fitzmaurice was the program's announcer. The series ended on September 25, 1955.

"Suspense" was a radio drama series that captivated audiences from 1940 through 1962 during the Golden Age of Radio. Often subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills," this program was a shining example of suspense thriller entertainment. It specialized in delivering heart-pounding stories, typically featuring some of the leading Hollywood actors of its era. With an impressive total of approximately 945 episodes aired over its lengthy run, "Suspense" remains an enduring classic, with over 900 episodes still in existence. "Suspense" was a dynamic series that evolved through several significant phases, each marked by distinct hosts, sponsors, and director/producers. Despite these changes, the show maintained a core set of formulaic plot devices that kept its audience consistently engaged. The show's hallmark elements included: Ordinary Protagonists in Extraordinary Situations: The typical protagonist of a "Suspense" episode was an everyday person who found themselves abruptly thrust into a perilous, bizarre, or highly suspenseful situation. This relatable quality made it easy for listeners to connect with the characters. Withheld Solutions: The show was known for building tension by withholding the resolution of the story until the very last possible moment. This strategy ensured that listeners remained on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the outcome. Moral Consequences: "Suspense" often featured stories where evildoers or wrongdoers faced justice in the end. This moral aspect added a layer of satisfaction for the audience, as justice was typically served. The combination of these elements, along with the skillful use of sound effects and music, made "Suspense" a thrilling and unforgettable radio program. It's not surprising that it continues to be celebrated for its contributions to the world of suspenseful storytelling in the audio medium. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dwight-allen0/support
