In the realm of old-time radio crime dramas, two iterations of "The Avenger" emerged in the United States. The first installment, broadcast weekly on WHN in New York City, aired from July 18, 1941, until November 3, 1942. The second version, syndicated nationally, ran from October 25, 1945, to April 18, 1946. In the 1941-1942 version, Richard Henry Benson, a crime-fighter with super-strength known as "The Avenger," was joined by his sidekick Fergus "Mac" MacMurdie. Benson was considered a blend of the Shadow and Doc Savage characters, combining elements of each in an attempt to replicate their commercial success. The 1945-1946 version of "The Avenger" was described as a "poor man's version of The Shadow" by radio historian John Dunning. Jim Brandon, the alter ego of the new Avenger, was a biochemist who used inventions like the Telepathic Indicator and Secret Diffusion Capsule to combat crime. Despite their differences, the two versions of "The Avenger" shared some similarities. The Avenger in both iterations had a loyal subordinate who knew his true identity, was hidden by a black light of invisibility, and could interpret the "thought flashes" of others. These similarities could be attributed to the fact that Walter B. Gibson, the creator of The Shadow, also played a role in shaping the character of The Avenger. In terms of personnel, the 1941-1942 version featured an unknown New York actor as Richard Henry Benson and Humphrey Davis as Fergus "Mac" MacMurdie, with Maurice Joachim as the director and Paul Ernst (writing as Kenneth Robeson) and Henry Ralston as writers. The 1945-1946 version had James Monks initially playing the lead role, later replaced by Dick Janaver, with Helen Adamson as assistant Fern Collier, George Ansbro as the announcer, Doc Whipple providing the music, and Charles Michelson as the producer. Writers for this version included Gil Braun, Ruth Braun, and Walter Gibson. The 1945-1946 version of "The Avenger," distributed by Charles Michelson Inc. of New York City, was syndicated via transcription, with 52 episodes available to stations across the nation. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dwight-allen0/support

The Avenger - Classic Radio Crime Drama Overview: "The Avenger" is an iconic old-time radio crime drama with two distinct series that captured audiences in the 1940s. The first series aired on WHN in New York City from July 18, 1941, to November 3, 1942. The second series was nationally syndicated from October 25, 1945, to April 18, 1946. It holds the distinction of being the first program distributed by the WHN Transcription Service, known previously for distributing commercials. Format and Characters: 1941–1942 Series: Main Character: Richard Henry Benson, a super-strength crime-fighter known as "The Avenger." Sidekick: Fergus "Mac" MacMurdie. Inspiration: Benson's character drew heavily from popular figures like The Shadow and Doc Savage, combining their traits to appeal to fans of those successful series. Promotion: In August 1941, WHN linked the radio show to Street and Smith's magazine, The Avenger, through eye-catching red posters displayed at newsstands. 1945–1946 Series: Main Character: Jim Brandon, a biochemist who becomes The Avenger. Innovations: Brandon uses a Telepathic Indicator and a Secret Diffusion Capsule to aid in his crime-fighting efforts. Comparison: This version was often seen as a budget-friendly counterpart to The Shadow, sharing similarities in narrative style and character traits. For instance, Brandon, like The Shadow, had a beautiful assistant, Fern Collier, who knew his true identity and helped him in his missions. Brandon also used "a black light of invisibility" and could interpret "thought flashes." Personnel: 1941–1942 Series: Main Role: Played by an unidentified New York actor, while Humphrey Davis portrayed Mac. Notable Cast: Bill Zuckert joined the cast in 1942, but his specific role was not disclosed. Director: Maurice Joachim.

From 'DA's New York Accent' (Subscribe Here), Jeff Smulyan has been called the Godfather of Sports Talk for his role in creating the genre. As CEO of Emmis Communications, he purchased WHN in New York City then flipped it to all sports and rebranded it as WFAN. It was a decision met with resistance and doubt within the company, let alone the outside world. And the early results were harrowing. But within a year, the FAN became an NYC staple and soon there were copycats nationwide. This is the story of how Suzyn Waldman discovered Buck Showalter, the FAN commercial that was too crass to air, and the early friction between Mike Francesa and Chris Russo. If you've ever listened to an all-sports radio station, this is the story of how that all happened.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The first voice heard on WFAN was that of Suzyn Waldman with a sports update at 3:00 pm,[11] followed by the first show, which was hosted by Jim Lampley. Waldman would report for the station, covering the Yankees and Knicks, for 14 years. Other personalities that hosted shows besides Lampley in the 1050 kHz years included Bill Mazer, Pete Franklin, Greg Gumbel and Ed Coleman. WFAN also inherited broadcast rights to the defending World Series champion New York Mets from WHN, who had held the rights for several years. Ratings were low initially but gradually improved.

Abby's reporting from the last few shows of Love on Tour with Harry Styles (duh!) in California, coupled with the news of Beyoncé's Renaissance tour. Translation: There's a LOT going on. Then she's joined by WHN's first mother/daughter duo—her dear friend/return guest Alexis DiResta and her amazing 7th grade daughter Violet—to talk about revisiting the shows and magazines of OUR youth…with an ACTUAL youth + much more from a cool Gen Z perspective.

WEPN (1050 kHz) is an all-sports AM radio station licensed to New York, New York. The station is owned-and-operated by Good Karma Brands and its transmitter site is located in North Bergen, New Jersey. The 1050 AM facility in New York signed on in 1922 as WHN. For the majority of its existence under these call letters, as well as during its 14-year stint as WMGM, the station broadcast several different music-based formats, finally assuming a country music format in 1973. In 1987, WHN dropped its country format to become the first radio station dedicated entirely to sports programming, changing its call letters to WFAN. A series of transactions in the late 1980s resulted in WFAN's format and call letters moving in October 1988 to 660 AM (on which WFAN has continued to broadcast since), with the brokered programming format and call letters of The Forward-owned WEVD (previously on 97.9 FM) being moved to 1050 AM in February 1989. In 2001, The Walt Disney Company took control of the station (later buying it and renaming it to WEPN in 2003) and transformed it into a full-time affiliate of its ESPN Radio network. In 2012, WEPN became an affiliate of the Spanish-language ESPN Deportes Radio network, reverting to broadcasting the English-language ESPN Radio upon ESPN Deportes Radio's shutdown in 2019. Since its return to ESPN Radio programming in 2019, the station has largely become a passthrough for the national ESPN Radio lineup (including programs not cleared by WEPN-FM) and overflow play-by-play rights, including most New York Islanders games, and some New York Rangers games.

New information on monkeypox and COVID... isn't what we were hoping for. Also, when you really think about it, what is a nose?

Plus, if a Duke/Colts girl, a diehard Kentucky Wildcat, and a Patriots lifer can get along this well...there's hope for this world yet.Sarah Jenks-Daly's podcast, Late Night Lit https://art19.com/shows/late-night-with-seth-meyers-podcast/episodes/0bc8a469-71da-4e2e-ad02-0d4e792f2ad2 Amy Rowell's Company, PK's Gift Closethttps://www.pksgiftcloset.com/ Subscribe to the We Have Notes newsletterhttps://wehavenotes.substack.com Follow Abby Gardnerhttps://www.instagram.com/abbycgardner/ https://twitter.com/abbygardner Follow We Have Noteshttps://www.instagram.com/wehavenotes https://www.tiktok.com/@wehavenotes https://speakstudiopodcasting.com/wehavenotes Podcast powered and distributed by Speak.Studio
