Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers Network radio opened 1949 fresh off its fourteenth consecutive year of record earnings. Total network revenue exceeded Two-hundred-ten million dollars. Broadway Is My Beat first took to the air over CBS from New York on February 27th, 1949, It starred Anthony Ross and was directed by John Dietz. Dietz was a prolific radio man in the 1940s. He helped get Suspense off the ground and had success with New York-based shows like Casey, Crime Photographer. Early CBS press material for the show told how “as a kid, Danny Clover sold papers and shined shoes along the Great White Way. He later walked the beat as a policeman and knows everything along Broadway—from pan handler to operatic prima donna—but he's still sentimental. The street is forever a wonderland of glamor to him.” CBS was in the middle of the “Packaged Program Initiative.” When head of CBS William Paley returned from World War II in 1946, he saw his network behind NBC in ratings, revenue, and star power. Paley decided to greenlight and cost-sustain shows in order to develop hits not controlled by advertising agencies. The gamble paid off. By February of 1949 CBS had found success with sitcoms like My Friend Irma and Our Miss Brooks. The network was also using capital gains tax laws to sign production deals with stars like Jack Benny, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Red Skelton, and Bing Crosby. For a deep dive on this, please tune into Breaking Walls episodes 108 through 112. Meanwhile, after fifteen weeks Broadway is My Beat was floundering. CBS was going to pull the plug at the end of May when NBC found its first post-talent raid hit. A new police procedural, Dragnet, launched on June 3rd, 1949. The brainchild of Jack Webb, it was unlike anything heard on the air at that point. CBS brass decided to move Broadway is My Beat's production to Hollywood. Elliott Lewis was by then starring as Frankie Remley on The Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show and helping to edit scripts for Bill Spier on Suspense. With the urging of men like Spier and Bill Robson, Lewis was given the chance to direct the newly migrated series. He was born in Manhattan on November 28th, 1917. He told Radio Life, “You should hear the city constantly. Even the people in New York are noisy.” Three soundmen were often needed to re-create that New York flavor. Lewis immediately tabbed Morton Fine and David Friedkin to write the series. Here's Morton Fine. Lewis' first episode came on Thursday, July 7th, 1949 when the repackaged Broadway is My Beat debuted as a summer replacement for The FBI In Peace And War. Larry Thor would star as Danny Clover. The change in tenor was immediately evident. Rounding out the regular cast was Charles Calvert as Tartaglia and Jack Kruschen doubling as both Sergeant Muggavan and Doctor Sinski. The last episode of the seven week summer run was “The Val Dane Case,” airing on August 25th, 1949. By then the show had begun to hit its stride. Broadway is My Beat stretched for the poetic metaphor and if the tone was sometimes heavy and wordy, the scenes were gritty, and the crimes were less-than-glamorous. After the initial summer run, the CBS network executives were happy with Elliott Lewis' work and decided to bring the show back in the fall.

Esther Etty Hillesum sökte efter en kärlek bortom ha-begäret. Helena Granström följer den andliga utvecklingen i Hillesums berömda dagböcker och funderar över begärets och kärlekens djupa innebörd. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän publicerades första gången den 7 januari 2019.Den där intensiva känslan av att vilja äga.Du står inför ett vackert landskap, ett landskap vars storslagenhet du inte var beredd på. Det väcker något till liv inom dig som du knappt kan uthärda. Du vill klamra dig fast vid det; det enda sättet att stå ut med att så mycket skönhet existerar, är att göra den till din.Du står inför ett ting, och allt du kan tänka på är hur detta ting ska kunna bli ditt, som om det vore en sedan länge förlorad kroppsdel som äntligen återfunnits. Du vill ha det, just i den stunden är du säker på att du behöver det för att vara den du borde vara, för att vara hel.Eller: Du står inför en annan människa.ingen skönhet varar för evigt – den som inte förmår att acceptera den förlusten, måste istället förneka den.När Etty Hillesum, en 27-årig holländsk-judisk jurist och översättare, möter den drygt 50-åriga psykoanalytikern Julius Spier är det denna känsla som infinner sig: Viljan att ha honom, och att ha honom för sig själv. De träffas på hans praktik, där han bedriver en okonventionell form av analys, som inbegriper såväl brottning som att han läser i hennes händer, i det han kallar för ”hennes andra ansikte”. Deras relation överskrider snart de terapeutiska ramarna, och kommer att utgöra motor för en intensiv inre utveckling hos Hillesum. I dagboken skildras hennes kluvna känslor inför Spier, de tvära kasten mellan tungsinne och lycka, åtrå och förtvivlan som hon upplever under 1940-talets första år – allt medan förföljelse och misär stegras i världen utanför, och snart tränger in också i hennes egna inre rum.Begär hon honom? Inte som en man, skriver hon, men som en människa; ändå är det sinnliga ständigt närvarande, inte alltid som åtrå men hela tiden som en vilja till intimitet. Och som klangbotten för denna längtan finns strävan att släppa taget om livet för att på så vis kunna leva det fullt ut, viljan att kunna nå fram till Spier på samma sätt. Här måste också det konstnärliga skapandets drivkrafter utsättas för prövning: Att skriva är, menar Hillesum, bara ”ett annat sätt att 'äga'. Det är att med ord och bild dra föremålen till sig och på så sätt ändå äga dem. Att i all stillhet smyga sig undan i ensamhet med alla skatter jag samlat mig, och skriva ned alltihop, behålla det och avnjuta det för mig själv.” All skönhet är plågsam, eftersom ingen skönhet varar för evigt – den som inte förmår att acceptera den förlusten, måste istället förneka den.Det sexuella begäret utgör förstås en alldeles egen sorts habegär, nog så omutligt när det uppstår, men utan verkligt djupgående ägandeanspråk. Men det finns en annan känsla, ännu girigare, ännu mer glupande, som i högre grad än den direkta, situationsbundna lusten kräver fullständig kontroll över sitt objekt: Du ska tillhöra mig. Du är bara min. Du ska se, åtrå, älska bara mig. Är det denna känsla som vi ibland kallar kärlek? I alla händelser är det den som Hillesum, vägledd av Spier, strävar bort ifrån, i riktning mot en urskiljningslös kärlek till mänskligheten. Han säger, skriver Hillesum, att kärleken till alla människor är mer än kärleken till en enda. För kärleken till en enda människa är strängt taget bara egenkärlek.Den sanna kärleken, har det sagts, har ingen annan avsikt än att älska. Men begäret har ingen annan avsikt än att söka sin tillfredsställelse, och denna tillfredsställelse är i sista instans en inre, kanske till och med en inåtvänd, upplevelse. Den förälskades intensiva upptagenhet av föremålet för förälskelsen, är den inte lika mycket en upptagenhet vid det egna tillståndet, en vilja att hålla kvar de jublande känslorna av upprymdhet och lycka?Och ändå är det från denna källa som drömmen om ömsesidighet hämtar sin näring, drömmen om ett möte där min egen vilja förenas med den andres: Något i honom svarar mot något i mig, något mellan oss gör distinktionen oviktig.Men kanske är en förutsättning för varje egentligt möte – erotiskt eller annat – en beredvillighet att släppa taget om allt man tror sig haUpplevelsen av en sådan korrespondens gör det möjligt att undkomma föreställningen om det erotiska mötet som en transaktion, två individer som använder varandra för att stilla sina respektive lustar. För ett ögonblick gör den det möjligt för mig att tro att verklig ömsesidighet existerar, och dessutom är inom räckhåll; att det finns ett vi, som inte bara är resultatet av förhandlingar mellan två hungriga jag.Men kanske är en förutsättning för varje egentligt möte – erotiskt eller annat – en beredvillighet att släppa taget om allt man tror sig ha, till och med allt man tror sig vara. Under det dryga år som Hillesums relation till Spier utvecklas, utvecklas också hennes relation till det hon kallar Gud – men denna Gud tycks inte vara en yttre kraft, snarare något i kärnan av det egna jaget: ”I mitt inre finns en mycket djup brunn. Och i den brunnen finns Gud.”Att uppgå i Gud blir kanske därför detsamma som att lyckas bli den människa som man burit gömd inom sig själv, vilket i sin tur kan betyda att omfatta en kärlek som inte längre kräver att få äga sitt objekt. Att acceptera alltings flyktighet: förälskelsens, skönhetens, den egna identitetens och slutligen också själva livets. Jag kommer att tänka på psykologen Erich Fromm, som i sin bok Att ha eller att vara? ställer ägandet mot varandet, och konstaterar att den som vill slippa dödsskräck inte bör lägga sina krafter på att förbereda sig för döden, utan på ”en fortgående ansträngning att inskränka ägandets livsform och utvidga varandets”. Den som inte tror sig äga något, har inte heller något att förlora. Först när denna insikt verkligen är vunnen, kan vi sluta klamra oss fast vid världen, och först då kan vi erfara den rent och fullt, utan att erfarenheten grumlas av smärta, längtan och sorg.”Mitt liv”, skriver Hillesum, ”har så att säga utvidgats till att inbegripa döden […] Genom att utesluta döden ur sitt liv har man inte ett fullständigt liv, och genom att räkna med döden utvidgar och berikar jag mitt liv.” Man skulle kunna se denna hållning som en form av kapitulation – att själv välja att släppa in döden i sitt liv kan låta vackert, men för den som vilken dag som helst kan deporteras till ett koncentrationsläger, är det inte bara en förskönande omskrivning? Den död som man tror sig har bjudit in, har den inte alldeles på egen hand sprängt dörren och intagit ens hem, ditsänd av en främmande och okontrollerbar makt?Med ett sådant förhållningssätt förlorar också överlevnaden sitt självklara egenvärde, den är i sig själv inte nog: ”När vi inte har mer att erbjuda en utblottad efterkrigsvärld än våra till varje pris räddade kroppar och ingen ny mening, som är sprungen ur de djupaste brunnarna av vår nöd och vår förtvivlan, då kommer det inte att räcka till.”Att undvika döden tycks för Hillesum mindre viktigt än att lära från den. Det kan framstå som att lättvindigt släppa taget om livet – men skulle lika gärna kunna vara att insistera på dess djupaste innebörd. Kanske kan det till och med förstås som uttryck för en innerlig kärlek, storsint nog att ge upp också det som den älskar mest.Helena Granströmförfattare med bakgrund inom fysik och matematikLitteraturEtty Hillesum: Dagböcker och brev i urval.

Rav Asher Weiss on War (4): The "Spier and the Shield" of Torah Study, by Rav Dovid Gottlieb The 3rd and final installment of R. Asher's 1st public address, delivered "the day after", on 10/8, highlighting the need for "offense and defense" both in war and in Torah study. "

Andrew Spier is the Vice President of Advanced Cyber Solutions and Commercial Services at Core4ce, a company specializing in protecting healthcare organizations and critical infrastructure from cyber threats. The healthcare environment has outdated software, weak access controls, insecure network connectivity, and a large Internet of Things network with many connected medical devices vulnerable to cyberattacks. Core4ce provides cybersecurity services, risk assessment, and education so that healthcare organizations can be more proactive in recognizing vulnerabilities and protecting against cyber criminals.  Andrew explains, "Core4ce is a data-centric national and enterprise security organization primarily specializing in protecting the nation and healthcare organizations. Critical infrastructure is mostly from cyber threats, which could be insider threats, cybersecurity or cyber criminals, or adversarial nation-states. We also provide a full suite of cybersecurity solutions in support of those customers." "I think that primarily in the healthcare environment, individually, you've got a giant IoT footprint, and for the listeners at home, IoT is the internet of things. This creates some challenges for healthcare organizations and medical device providers. The cybersecurity services that those customers typically use are vulnerabilities, vulnerability assessments, network assessments, network design, and penetration testing. I mean everything from policy reviews. The list goes on and on, but it's full spectrum of cybersecurity services." "If you think about the complications associated with a number of IoT or medical devices inside an organization or a hospital, it can be quite daunting. But many of the fixes are available. It's just a lot of time, bandwidth, and budget, and periodically, it's just a lack of staff and knowledge. Frankly, that's where we can come in and supplement, educate, help get them remediated, get them set up, protect their network, and work with them on an ongoing educational or iterative basis." #Core4ce #HealthcareCybersecurity #MedicalDevices #MedicalDeviceSecurity #HealthcareThreats #IoT core4ce.com Listen to the podcast here

Send us a textWhen you hit the core with the right content and messaging, that's when you'll see win rates jump, deal sizes go higher and the greatest lifetime value increases from your future and existing customers. But most GTM teams do not have a clear understanding of who their core is and why. Most ICPs suck as GTM teams do not dig deep enough so that the ICP is predictive of the accounts that will most likely move forward and deliver the greatest revenue growth. As a result, GTM teams are always guessing who to talk to next.In this ABM Done Right Podcast episode, Jonathan Spier (CEO of Rev Inc) discusses with Eric Gruber (CEO of Personal ABM) how to get the ICP right.  

In this episode, we explore the stock market's performance through the third quarter. Here's a hint: It's done very well! The S&P just had its best performance through the third quarter since 1997!!! Malcolm Gladwell just released his new book, Revenge of the Tipping Point. We discuss some of its themes and also look back at the original, published in 2000. In the original book "Tipping Point," Gladwell explored how tipping points happen, and we relate that to our personal lives. How much work do you need to put into yourself mentally, physically, and financially to get to where you want to be? It can be a grind, but we all must endure, and our older version of ourselves will be very thankful. AI is already impacting us as we prepare for our Guy Spier interview next month. This week's update will share how we can use it on our podcast. 

Devon Spier has long COVID. The artist, poet and spiritual guide has spent days bedridden, feeling ill and angry at God. But that forced pause gave her time to reflect on her life, art and beliefs, and she began to realize more emphatically how God, for her, exists in liminal spaces—in the wilderness, in small moments of peace and beauty between devastation and pain. These thoughts led her to create a new exhibit that blends art, design, poetry and spirituality. "18 Plus One" is on display at the Gerrard Art Space in Toronto from Oct 2 - 9, ahead of a fuller exhibit at the JCC Ann Arbor in Michigan from December 2024 to February 2025. Spier joins Ralph Benmergui—who is, like Spier, also not a rabbi but kind of vaguely close to one—on Not That Kind of Rabbi for a fulsome conversation about artistic expression, humanistic empathy and the meaning of God.

In this thought-provoking episode of the CRO Spotlight Podcast, host Warren Zenna sits down with Jonathan Spier, CEO of Rev AI, to challenge the conventional wisdom surrounding the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) title. Sparked by a viral LinkedIn post from Jonathan, this conversation dives deep into why he believes the CRO title is not just flawed but potentially detrimental to businesses. Jonathan argues that expecting a single person to effectively manage sales, customer success, and marketing under the CRO umbrella sets leaders up for failure and hinders organizational growth.Warren and Jonathan explore the complexities of modern revenue operations, discussing why traditional sales leaders may not be the best fit for the CRO role. They examine the critical importance of RevOps (Revenue Operations) as a function that could redefine leadership in the revenue space, offering a more holistic and strategic approach. The conversation also touches on the challenges of aligning sales, marketing, and customer success teams, highlighting how misalignment often stems from disparate incentives and organizational silos.As they debate potential solutions, Warren proposes a radical shift in how companies should approach the CRO role, emphasizing the need for proper diagnostics and strategic leadership rather than simply promoting top sales executives. This episode offers valuable insights for CEOs, CROs, and anyone involved in revenue generation, as it reimagines the future of sales and revenue leadership in a rapidly evolving business landscape.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers By November of 1944 Suspense was pulling a rating of 10.4. There were now more than eight million people tuning in. Roma wines was satisfied as Suspense was providing stiff competition to The Frank Morgan Show running opposite on NBC Thursday nights at 8PM eastern time. On November 9th Lena Horne guest-starred in a Robert L. Richards script called “You Were Wonderful” about the murder of a nightclub singer in South America. Horne is the visiting American singer intent on solving the crime. Lena Horne was born on June 30th, 1917 in Brooklyn, New York. Both sides of her family were multi-racial with both African and Native American heritage. Her father Teddy was a one-time owner of a restaurant and hotel while her mother Edna was an actress with a traveling theater troupe. As a young girl Lena's father left the family to move to Pittsburgh, while Lena traveled with her mother around the country before returning to New York City when she was twelve. Lena dropped out of high school at sixteen and joined the chorus line at the Cotton Club. In 1935 she made her first screen appearance as a dancer in Cab Calloway's musical short Jitterbug Party. She got married in 1937, but soon separated from her husband, first touring with bandleader Charlie Barnet in 1940 before returning to New York to work at Cafe Society in Greenwich Village. She soon replaced Dinah Shore as vocalist on NBC's The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street and recorded with Henry Levine and Paul Laval, in June 1941 for RCA Victor. Horne then left New York City for Hollywood, being hired to perform in a Cotton Club-style revue for Cafe Trocadero on the Sunset Strip. In 1942, when she became the first African-American with a major studio contract, it was with the understanding that she wouldn't be obligated to portray servants—a condition that handicapped her entrée into mainstream Hollywood movies. She soon appeared in the films Panama Hattie, Cabin in the Sky, Stormy Weather, Thousands Cheer, Swing Feever, Broadway Rhythm, and Two Girls and a Sailor. With the exceptions of Cabin in the Sky and Stormy Weather, Lena's early screen appearances were often designed as standalone musical numbers that could easily be cut out in prejudice Southern markets unaccepting of African American performers. Horne's Suspense appearance was big news. Both Spier and his wife Kay Thompson, a friend who worked with her at MGM, pressed the movie studio to allow her to headline the show. Network executives at CBS were concerned that Roma might pull its contract if Southern stations didn't want to air the program. Thompson agreed to appear as Horne's uncredited backup singer in three musical numbers, which Thompson arranged. MGM's publicity department got to work and given the unfortunate day's climate, Horne's appearance was heralded as one of the more daring and successful half hours of network drama at the time. She is the first and only African American to headline Suspense. “It was an event of terrific importance to Lena,” noted Movieland magazine, “for the first time a performance of hers was judged on merit alone; she was announced only as the star of the play, without reference to her race.” Spier noted that in the studio, Lena “seemed so poised, so sure of herself and her every speech, so business-like in her approach to the role.” However when she grabbed his hand for encouragement, she was ice cold. Part of it was performance nerves, but a lot of it came from the anxiety of getting the chance to publicly justify her talent. Horne later said, “Bill was marvelous and intelligent. Anyone married to Kay would have to be strong.” It was an especially memorable and proud evening for members of the African-American community who were glued to their radios in record numbers.

While Suspense aired all-year-round, it was perfect for brisk evenings. With Spier's musical aptitude, a swelling orchestra had become a Suspense staple. Lud Gluskin and Lucien Morawek worked together to produce and conduct haunting, functional scores. Morawek told Radio Life that Spier was the most musically adept radio director he had ever worked with. On September 7th, 1944 Olivia De Havilland made her only appearance on Suspense in a play entitled “Voyage Through Darkness,” written by Joel Malone who was best known for his work on The Whistler. In this episode, De Havilland's character is on a cruise home from England. Her deceased employer's coffin is on board. She was directed to supervise his burial-at-sea. A stowaway is found. He's believed to be “the Blackout Killer” of London. This would be the last episode of Suspense to air on different nights for the East and West coast. Beginning on September 14th all episodes of Suspense would air on the same night, making it easier for the Hollywood stars that were now lining up to work on the show. Roughly seven million people heard this broadcast.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers In May of 1944 Orson Welles appeared on Suspense three times. The first of which was on May 4th in “The Dark Tower,” a play originally written by George S. Kaufman and Alexander Woollcott. Adapted for Suspense by Peter Barry, Woollcott had died in January of 1943. In many ways, the play is a satire of Welles' friend, John Barrymore, and it's ripe with innuendo and other inside humor. Featured in this episode as Jessica was Jeanette Nolan. Like so often in Bill Spier's productions of Suspense, Hans Conreid played a villain. Here's fellow actor Byron Kane talking about Orson Welles and Hans Conreid. On May 15th, 1944, Orson Welles was placed on the U.S. Treasury payroll to consult for the duration of the war. His pay: an honorary one dollar. On May 18th Welles starred in part one of “Donovan's Brain,” based on the 1942 Curt Siodmak novel. Welles played Dr. Patrick Cory, who successfully learns to keep a brain alive outside the human body. The sound-effects were outstanding for their time. “Donovan's Brain” is considered one of the first adult science-fiction broadcasts. After this evening's show, Orson Welles and Bill Spier were having dinner at the Players Restaurant in Los Angeles when Spier suffered his second major heart attack in ten months. He was immediately placed on bed rest. In the studio he was replaced by CBS executive Robert Lewis Shayon. Although he's once again recovered, heart problems continued to plague Bill Spier for the rest of his life. Just two days after the west coast broadcast of part two of “Donovan's Brain”, Welles spoofed it on his Orson Welles Almanac program. Performed live at the Air Transport Command in Long Beach, California, among those in the cast for the parody were Suspense regulars John McIntire and Hans Conried.

When Suspense moved to Hollywood, Conried quickly became part of William Spier's trusted circle of character actors, often playing more than one part. Conried honed his craft in the 1930s. To Bill Spier's credit, he did his best to allow them the time to have parts on other shows. Spier's rehearsals were known for their loose atmosphere. He selected the best radio actors to be part of the Suspense troupe. This circle included Wally Mayer, Jeannette Nolan, Joseph Kearns, John McIntire, and Lurene Tuttle. Lurene Tuttle later worked with Spier on The Adventures of Sam Spade. Spier had a habit of purposely going into a broadcast with a script that was a minute or two long so the actors were forced into high tension. Spier wouldn't allow a studio audience. He placed the orchestra behind a screen, out of sight of the cast so that the actors could better concentrate on their performance. Suspense found sponsorship in the fall of 1943 with Roma Wines. The show moved to Thursdays at 8PM eastern time. The first sponsored episode was called “The Black Curtain” and starred Cary Grant. It's the first time listeners heard both the phrases “A tale well calculated to keep you in Suspense” and “radio's outstanding theater of thrills.” Uniquely, West Coast and Mountain time would get a separate broadcast on Monday December 6th. This broadcast split would continue until September of 1944. The next month on January 13th, 1944 Lucille Ball starred in an episode called “Dime a Dance.” The script was based on a story by Cornell Woolrich and adapted by Bob Tallman. Tallman wrote scripts in a single day with edits done in the hour between rehearsal and broadcast. Thirty-two and a seasoned film actress, in 1944 Ball began to carve out a second career on the radio. She appeared on Duffy's Tavern, Abbott & Costello, and The Screen Guild Theater. In “Dime a Dance” she plays a dancer in a hall. A serial killer is targeting young women. Her character, Ginger Allen, gets involved in tracking the killer down. This episode's rating was 8.5. Roughly six million people tuned in. For more info on Lucille Ball's radio career, tune into Breaking Walls episode 100.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers Bill Spier's Hollywood Suspense episodes got good reviews. He returned to New York for seven more shows while he got the green light to move Suspense to the West Coast. The first permanent Hollywood show was “Fear Paints a Picture” on April 13th, 1943. John Dickson Carr continued as writer until June, but Spier began to look for other voices, like Lucille Fletcher, who followed up “The Hitch-hiker” with “The Diary of Sophronia Winters,” starring Agnes Moorehead. The two would reunite a month later, on May 25th, 1943, for the most famous Suspense episode of all-time, “Sorry, Wrong Number.” Bill Spier did not direct this episode. It was handled by Ted Bliss. Although only thirty-six, Spier had recently suffered a heart attack. “Sorry, Wrong Number” was so harrowing, and Agnes Moorehead's tour-de-force performance was so gripping to even the rest of the people in the studio, that a now-famous missed cue happened. I'll let Ms Moorehead explain. Although Spier wanted to repeat the broadcast immediately, it was finally redone on August 21st. At that time CBS was in talks with Colgate to sponsor the series. The performance was heavily promoted, along with a time change. Suspense would be moving to Saturdays with this show. The August 21st, 1943 episode was the first time two different productions for each coast were done. CBS was attempting to deliver a large audience to entice Colgate to buy the series. The first broadcast was done at 4:30PM Pacific time for the East, while the second was done at 8PM for local audiences. Here's the ending to the August 21st, 1943 broadcast of “Sorry, Wrong Number,” coming from the East Coast broadcast, as it was intended to have been performed the first time. Four days later Variety was enthusiastic in its praise for the broadcast. Hans Conried played the murderer. Besides the slightly missed cue, why was this story repeated so soon after? CBS was flooded with letters and phone calls. A funny thing happens as you listen to Mrs. Stevenson complain, you begin to like her less and less. This was intentional. Writer Lucille Fletcher was born in New York City on March 28th, 1912 and patterned the character after snooty women she'd had obnoxious dealings with in New York. At that time, only forty percent of U.S. homes had a phone. The fictional Stevenson home address of North Sutton Place was patterned after Sutton Place in New York City. It was one of the most exclusive areas on Manhattan's east side. As researcher Dr. Joseph Webb put it, ​​“regular people” were dealing with the scarcities and uncertainty of the War. Everyone was sacrificing in one way or another or had family members in the service.” Mrs Stevenson's complaints slowly erode the audience's sympathy for her, but still no one was expecting her to actually be murdered at the end, atypical of climaxes at that time. Despite the praise, the Saturday experiment ended the following week. Spier recovered from his heart attack and returned on September 23rd, 1943, taking over direction. Colgate passed on sponsoring the series. Suspense went back to one national broadcast, but by November, Roma Wines would sign on, becoming the sponsor, and increasing Suspense's budgets exponentially. #suspense #oldtimeradio #oldtimeradioshows #otr #historypodcast #oldhollywood #mysteryfiction

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers Willam Spier was born on 10/16/1906 in New York City. He began his career as an editor at Musical America Magazine, eventually becoming its chief critic. His radio career began in 1929, when he produced and directed The Atwater-Kent Hour, a Met Opera presentation. He soon became a valuable member of BBD&O's growing staff of radio writers & directors. In 1931 Spier went to Hollywood to direct one of the first big budget radio programs in southern California. Coming back to New York, he was one of the people responsible for the creation of The March of Time. In 1940 Spier left BBD&O & began working for CBS. He was soon their story editor. Meanwhile, CBS decided to bring Forecast back. Season two premiered on 7/14/1941, with a play from Hollywood called The Arabian Nights. It starred Marlene Dietrich & was directed by Charles Vanda. The following week Kay Thompson starred in 51 East 51 from New York. It was an on-the-scene comedy at a fictitious upscale New York bar. Her director that evening was Bill Spier. The two were soon dating, marrying in 1942. Two weeks later, Spier produced & directed a Forecast episode called Song Without End, starring Burgess Meredith & Margo. It was to be a biopic on musicians and composers. That autumn Vanda & Spier were in New York, pushing for the launch of Suspense as a CBS cost-sustained show. On Sunday 12/71941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor & Manilla, finally thrusting the US into World War II. The next Sunday, as CBS prepared for the Monday multi-network broadcast of Norman Corwin's We Hold These Truths, Bill Paley finally approved Suspense's launch as a thirteen-week summer series in 1942. Vanda got Harold Medford to come East to write. Although Bill Spier was head of CBS's New York Story Department, it was Harold Medford who polished the first seven shows. Vanda also got CBS musician Bernard Herrmann to compose the show's score. Suspense premiered on Wednesday June 17th, 1942 at 10:30PM eastern time. The first episode, “The Burning Court” was adapted from a story by John Dickson Carr. Seeking a star, Vanda chose Charlie Ruggles. Known for his comedic flair, Ruggles was in New York for the opening of his latest film, Friendly Enemies. Vanda believed that Suspense could cast against type. It came to be a show staple. Charles Vanda wound up only being in charge of the first five shows. He went into the army. The second show was the John Collier mystery “Wet Saturday,” a grim tongue-in-cheek tale of murder. The final three shows by Vanda were a take on the Lizzie Borden case, a murder story aboard a train, & a thrill kill, “Rope” that Alfred Hichcock later shot with James Stewart. With Vanda entering the service Bill Spier took over the production. Spier's first episode as producer was on 7/22/1942. On 9/2 Suspense broadcast Lucille Fletcher's “The Hitchhiker.” At the time Fletcher was married to Bernard Herrmann. “The Hitchhiker” starred Orson Welles. Welles & Spier had known each other since The March of Time. Welles just returned from Brazil where he'd been promoting greater Pan-Americanism on behalf of RKO. It was his first appearance on Suspense. When the thirteen-week summer run ended, CBS was set to cancel the series. The last episode was called, “One Hundred In the Dark.” It aired on September 30th, 1942. In the end Suspense was saved by the amount of fan mail & phone calls to CBS. Spier pushed to link the show with a prestigious mystery author. He approached the agent of John Dickson Carr, who'd written “The Burning Court,” & a deal was soon in place for him to write exclusively for the program. CBS picked up Suspense for the fall season and put it on the air Tuesdays at 9:30PM beginning 10/27. John Dietz returned as director and a foreboding narrator, “The Man In Black,” was played by Ted Osborne.

On September 30, 1962 a major milestone in radio drama came to an end with the final episode of the long running series, SUSPENSE. Ironically, the episode was titled "Devil Stone" and was the last dramatic radio play from a series that had its roots in the golden age of radio.What began as a "new series frankly dedicated to your horrification and entertainment" took on a life of its own mostly due to the talents of some outstanding producers and adaptations and original stories from the cream of mystery writers of the time. The golden age of radio was truly the golden age of SUSPENSE as show after show broadcast outstanding plays which were "calculated to intrigue...stir [the] nerves."It was the series' first producer, William Spier, who set the framework of rules that was to stay with the show for most of its run. Mr. Spier determined that the series should deal with life-and-death situations established near the beginning of each play and then through the use of Bernard_Herrmann's musical coloring and the writer's characterizations slowly tighten the knot of SUSPENSE. Many of the early stories were written by the mystery writer John Dickson Carr. Others were by such fine writers as Lucille Fletcher, whose SUSPENSE play, "Sorry, Wrong Number" (listen/download) was turned into a major motion picture; Robert Arthur, Robert L. Richards, Morton Fine, and David Friedkin. The series also drew from the mystery writers of the day as well as the horror writers of literature; writers such as Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, Cornell Woolrich, Dorothy L. Sayers, and H. G. Wells.

Terry felt ashamed when he found himself contemplating liposuction just so he could look and feel more confident at work.   He was ashamed of his body and ashamed that he was even considering surgery! Something deep inside him told him that it wasn't the right thing to do. And he knew that he would not be able to face his kids if he went down that route.   What he needed was a holistic approach to wellness that would make him feel great and make his kids proud of their dad. With his mind made up, Terry signed up to RNT.   And now 21kgs down, he loves how great he feels everyday.

Broadway Is My Beat first took to the air on CBS from New York on February 27th, 1949, starring Anthony Ross and directed by John Dietz. After fifteen weeks, with Dragnet breaking new ground on NBC, CBS moved the show's production to Hollywood. Elliott Lewis was by then helping to edit scripts for Bill Spier on Suspense. With the urging of men like Spier and Bill Robson, the twenty-eight-year-old Lewis was given the chance to direct the show. He was born in Manhattan on November 28th, 1917. He told Radio Life, “You should hear the city constantly. Even the people in New York are noisy.” Three sound men were often needed to re-create that New York flavor. Lewis' first regular turn as a director came on July 7th, 1949 when the repackaged Broadway is My Beat debuted as a summer replacement for The FBI In Peace And War. Along with David Friedkin, Morton Fine would become one of Lewis' go-to writers. Larry Thor would star as Danny Clover. Rounding out the regular cast was Charles Calvert as Tartaglia and Jack Kruschen doubling as both Sgt. Muggavan and Doctor Sinski. Broadway is my Beat featured some of the best hollywood radio talent like Barney Phillips, Virginia Gregg, Tony Barrett, Herb Butterfield, Betty Lou Gerson, Hy Averback, Cathy Lewis, Harry Bartell, Lawrence Dobkin, Mary Jane Croft, and Herb Vigran. Although no sponsorship was forthcoming, CBS brass was impressed with Elliott Lewis' capabilities. The March 17th, 1950 episode was called “The Charles and Jane Kimball Murder Case.”
