Episode Notes We review Sever Book 1 and Wallbeakers We delve into the submissions pile and review two indie comics. Sever is by Braiden Cox and Tim Sparvero Blurb: The story of Sever follows Chloe Williams, otherwise known as Ellipsis, who is an aspiring metal musician finishing up her last year of high school. She plays in a band with a misfit group of friends. First, there is Katie Hoard, the most popular girl at school, due to her social status she prefers not to be seen with the bandmates in worry that it will ruin her reputation, but that doesn't stop her from screaming her lungs out at band practice. Alisha Cho is the band's bassist, she is also one of the smartest kids in school and is always planning ahead. A lot of changes soon occur. One day Chloe's girlfriend and recent drummer, Marilyn Penhurst, returns to town. Normally this would be that big of a problem, but in this case, Marilyn was declared dead 3 years earlier when her parents were in a fatal car crash and they couldn't recover Marilyn's body from the scene. Upon her arrival, seeming darkness looms over the town as Marilyn seems to have her own hidden agenda.  Check out Sever's Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/svr-01/sever-1-a-metal-inspired-horror-romance?ref=discovery&term=sever Wallbreakers is by Jorge Zevallos Blurb: Hot, noisy, and ruthless. New York is suffering one of its worst heatwaves in history. An average joe comes across a mysterious object of occult origin; accidentally unleashing an enemy of pure, unrelenting evil! They are many, and he but one. Can he survive the hunt?

James Scully from The WallBreakers here. Tomorrow I’ll be releasing Part 1 of Breaking Walls episode 104. Our next episode focuses on Orson Welles’ radio career between Pearl Harbor and the end of Radio’s peak. Ordinarily episodes of Breaking Walls are released once-per-month as a long form audio documentary. Because this episode on Orson Welles is so packed with information, I’ve decided to split it up into five parts to be released on the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th, of June. Then on the 25th of June, I’ll release the entire episode as one standalone, long form show for those who want to listen. In the meantime, give Breaking Walls a quick rating on whatever platform you listen, especially iTunes, and be on the listen for Breaking Walls Episode 104 Part 1, out tomorrow.

Jesus was a wallbreaker—he tore down dividing lines and made sure to emphasize that all are equal and welcome in the kingdom of God! Join us this week as we look into the Openness of God.

In Breaking Walls Episode 75 we go back in time to the beginning of radio to tell the story of how this medium began. Highlights: * Why the Blizzard of 1888 played such an important role in the need for wireless telegraphy * Who Was Heinrich Hertz? What experiment made him the father of Hertzian Waves? * What Oliver Lodge, Nikola Tesla, Alexander Graham Bell, and Amos DollBear have in common * Guglielmo Marconi, father of radio? * The benefits to wireless telegraphy * David Sarnoff — His start between 1900 - 1906 * Why the press want to get involved * Lee Deforest — Inventor, Fraud, or both? * What incredibly important event happened in December of 1901 in New Foundland * Why the American Government wanted to regulate wireless telegraphy * Reginald Fessenden, Christmas Eve, Oh Holy Night, and Brant Rock * The Titanic Disaster — How it changed wireless telegraphy forever * The Radio Box Memo * What’s next? The WallBreakers: http://thewallbreakers.com To support the show: http://patreon.com/TheWallBreakers Background information: Prior to television, people tuned in to Radio to hear their favorite comedies, thrillers, westerns, high-adventure dramas, soap operas, kids shows, and melodramas, along with the talk, news, music, and sports that still dominate the airwaves. Radio Drama on the major networks of NBC, CBS, and ABC mostly went out after the growth of television in the 1950s and the story of this industry isn’t widely known to the general american public. Going forward, Breaking Walls will tell the story of this medium, which still influences our entertainment patters today. We’ll start at the beginning of radio and move through the rise of the networks, the growth of programming, how the great depression and world war II influenced the country, why radio declined during the growth of TV, what happened to its stars and the people who worked at the recording studios after radio drama went out in the late 1950s and early 1960s, why fans began collecting shows, how this helped save countless hours of broadcasts, and where we can go next.

In Breaking Walls episode 74, we celebrate the WallBreakers’ 6th birthday with an anniversary extravaganza! First, we’ll chat with the creator of the 1970s radio drama The Zero Hour, Mr. Jay M. Kholos. Then, a portion of a recent conversation with the author of The Who Is Johnny Dollar Matter, Mr. John C. Abbott. If you’ve been listening to this podcast, you know that for the past year I’ve been producing mini-documentaries on moments in American radio history. Episode 72 was on Yours Truly Johnny Dollar and the death of American dramatic radio on the Major Networks, and episode was on 73 on the attempted 1970s-1980s major network dramatic revival. If you haven’t heard episodes 72 or 73, I’d recommend going back and listening to them for story continuity. And it’s along those lines that I’m proud to say the next episode of Breaking Walls, on February 15th, 2018 will be our 75th episode. On this upcoming episode, Breaking Walls will take on a new long-term story arc: A chronological history of the American Radio Drama. For anyone who doesn’t know what Radio Drama was… At one time, radio wasn’t just for talk and music. Prior to television people tuned into the radio to hear their favorite shows. In fact, many of the most popular shows on television in the 1950s were extensions of their radio versions. This first episode of the documentary, episode 75 of Breaking Walls, will start at the beginning of radio in the late 19th century and work through the end of the first decade of the 20th century. Why those two points in time? Well… you’ll have to tune in to find out!

Kholos’ Hightlights: • How Jay got his start in the advertising industry • Why he’s got such an entrepreneurial spirit • Where the idea to relaunch radio drama came from • How nostalgia has influenced Jay’s creative endeavors • Why you can’t make creative decisions by committee • Where the inspiration for Orchard Street productions came from • How Jay tabbed The Twilight Zone’s Rod Serling as the host of The Zero Hour • A funny Rod Serling story involving an airplane • Production highlights from Elliot Lewis and Patty Duke • How AFTRA influenced Jay’s decision to make a distribution deal with The Mutual Broadcasting System • Why Mutual’s Zero Hour was so disappointing • Jay and Elliot Lewis’ Mutual Respect • What’s next for Jay As Jay mentioned, the Mizner Park Cultural Center in Boca Raton, Florida will be the site for his Orchard Street Production of Golda’s Balcony from May 2nd through the 13th of 2018.

This Sunday, we reflected on the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his wall-breaking, bridge-building work that challenges us to answer the call in our time.

Learn how Jesus' wall-breaking work overcame the old walls of separation, and calls us to continue breaking walls and building bridges in our lives.
