“OLD HOLLYWOOD's TOXIC TRIANGLE” - 5/19/2025 (088) Hollywood in the mid-20th century was a world of glitz and glamour, a realm where dreams could be made or destroyed in an instant. It was an era when the silver screen crafted illusions of romance and perfection, yet behind the scenes, the personal lives of its stars often unraveled into chaos, scandal, and tragedy. Few stories exemplify this dark side of Hollywood better than the volatile love triangle involving actress BARBARA PEYTON and actors FRANCHOT TONE and TOM NEAL. What began as a passionate romance descended into obsession, violence, and ultimate ruin—forever marking the three as cautionary tales of unchecked desire and self-destruction. In this episode, we explore this explosive love triangle and its aftermath.

Created by S.S. Van Dine, Philo Vance first appeared in The Benson Murder Case (1925) as a wealthy dilettante whose keen mind and extensive knowledge made him an indispensable crime solver. His friend, District Attorney Markham, relied on his unconventional methods, while the gruff Sergeant Heath barely concealed his exasperation. Vance was equal parts scholar, art connoisseur, and detective—a man whose cultured demeanor masked an unyielding resolve to untangle the most perplexing crimes. Vance's popularity surged on the silver screen, where he was played by luminaries such as William Powell, Basil Rathbone, and Warren William. But it was on radio that his voice truly came to life. From 1943 to 1945, John Emery first gave voice to the suave sleuth. In 1945, the legendary José Ferrer brought his commanding presence to the role in an NBC summer series. Then, beginning in 1946, the masterful Jackson Beck took over, starring in over 100 syndicated episodes produced by Frederic Ziv, ensuring Vance's legacy endured on the airwaves.

The Voices Behind the Mystery
En 1971, un joven de veintitantos años llamado William Powell publicó lo que muchos consideran el libro más peligroso jamás escrito: "El Libro de Cocina del Anarquista". Un manual con instrucciones para fabricar explosivos, drogas y tácticas de guerrilla que, paradójicamente, su propio autor intentó retirar años después. Hoy exploramos la fascinante y perturbadora historia de esta obra que ha inspirado atentados como el de Oklahoma City o la Maratón de Boston, mientras analizamos cómo un acto de rebeldía juvenil se convirtió en una pesadilla que persiguió a Powell hasta su muerte en 2017.

Created by S.S. Van Dine, Philo Vance first appeared in The Benson Murder Case (1925) as a wealthy dilettante whose keen mind and extensive knowledge made him an indispensable crime solver.

Then, beginning in 1946, the masterful Jackson Beck took over, starring in over 100 syndicated episodes produced by Frederic Ziv, ensuring Vance's legacy endured on the airwaves.

Front Row Classics is celebrating one of the most popular screwball romantic comedies of the 1930s. We're taking a look at My Man Godfrey from 1936. Brandon welcomes back Olympia Kiriakou to the podcast. Olympia is the author of Becoming Carole Lombard: Stardom, Comedy, and Legacy.

The definitive biography of the great Shemp Howard, an original member of the Three Stooges, and one of Hollywood's most influential actors that Kirkus Reviews calls an "illuminating. reworking of the Stooges mythology" and Patton Oswalt praises as "the only book you will ever need to read about anything. Burn all the other books - there is ONLY SHEMP!" Shemp Howard not only had one of the most distinctive faces of the twentieth century, but was also one of its most accomplished, influential comic actors and showbiz personalities. Along with his brother Moe and comedy violinist Larry Fine, Shemp was an original member of the comedy team that became known as the Three Stooges before he quit and set off on his own in 1932.SHEMP! shows how he made an even greater mark in a successful and until now largely unexplored career in more than a hundred movie shorts and features. He appeared in comedies, dramas, mysteries, Westerns, and musicals alongside the biggest stars of the Golden Age, including W.C. Fields, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Marlene Dietrich, William Powell, Lon Chaney, Jr., Myrna Loy, and the team of Abbott & Costello. Author Burt Kearns challenges the "official" version of Three Stooges history that's been repeated for decades, shattering myths while uncovering the surprising and often troubling facts behind the man's unlikely story: how the child of Jewish immigrants, supposedly racked by debilitating phobias, could conquer show business; the behind-the-scenes machinations that pushed him to return to the team; and the circumstances surrounding his untimely death. Through interviews with fans, family members, experts, filmmakers, and celebrities, SHEMP! unearths treasures in Shemp's solo work, examines the "cult of Shemp" that thrives today, and confirms Shemp Howard's deserved place in cinematic history.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In The Thin Man, William Powell and Myrna Loy are 2 married, childless adults living in the big city...and they like to drink. It's the Ellis Story! Well, no, but the 611th episode of Have You Ever Seen features those 2 comedic tipplers Nick & Nora trying to solve a murder (which is really more his job than it is "theirs"). But is this acclaimed yucks-fest actually funny enough to be so revered for its comedy scenes? Perhaps not. This film is really more effective as a whodunnit than as a laugher anyway. One thing that can't be questioned though is that Powell & Loy were a marvelous team in all the Thin Man movies, starting with this saucy original that was released in the early days of the production code.

In this week's episode of “Tuesday Night Detectives” on Vintage Classic Radio, we dive into the gritty world of Dashiell Hammett with two thrilling adventures. First up, we bring you “The Adventures of Sam Spade” in the episode titled “Tears of Night Caper,” originally broadcast on July 24th, 1949. In this episode, Sam Spade, portrayed by Howard Duff, navigates a complex web of deceit involving a priceless diamond known as the "Tears of Night." Lurene Tuttle stars as his witty secretary Effie Perrine, who finds herself entangled in this dangerous quest. Together, they uncover layers of betrayal and greed in a story that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats. Following that, we turn the dial to “The Thin Man,” presenting the episode “Nora is Drugged” (also known as "Mysterious Meow"), which first hit the airwaves on October 6th, 1944. William Powell and Myrna Loy reprise their iconic roles as Nick and Nora Charles, a married couple with a penchant for solving crimes over cocktails. In this particular episode, Nora becomes an unwitting participant in a sinister plot when she is mysteriously drugged at a high-society party. As Nick races against time to find the antidote, he also unravels the motive behind the attack, leading to a climactic confrontation with the perpetrator. This episode also features the delightful antics of their pet dog, Asta, whose keen senses prove pivotal in cracking the case. Join us for a night of suspense and intrigue as these classic detectives navigate the shadowy corners of mystery and danger, brought to life by the stellar performances of the cast.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** With her crystal clear soprano voice, porcelain doll face, and fierce acting talent, ANN BLYTH became a much in-demand star in the 1940s and 1950s. While known mostly as a romantic musical comedy star in film such as “Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid” (1948), “Rose Marie” (1954), and “Kismet” (1955), she was also a deft dramatic actress when given the chance. Who can forget her as Veda, he daughter who made JOAN CRAWFORD's life a living hell, in “Mildred Pierce” (1945), or as the down-trodden alcoholic singer in “The Helen Morgan Story” (1957)? Blyth turns 96 on August 13th and is truly a living legend. Listen this week as we pay tribute with an episode about Ann Blyth's remarkable life and career.

The UK general election is now in its final stages and while the union-wide result hardly seems in doubt, each constituency and candidate has a story to tell. Here at the Hiraeth Pod we are recording a series of short interviews with new candidates who are contesting constituencies across Wales. These are new faces on the national scene and will no doubt feature in the 2026 Senedd campaign even if unsuccessful this time around. We plan to speak to each of the main parties in Wales, which we consider to be the ones standing in every constituency at the start of the campaign (though since then some have fallen away, as you are no doubt aware). So we will be sharing interviews with Conservative, Plaid Cymru, Green, Reform, Liberal Democrat, and Labour candidates as we try to uphold the values of public service broadcasting in the digital age. In this pod we speak with former Senedd Member William (Bill) Powell, who is representing the Liberal Democrats in the Conservative-dominated seat of Monmouthshire. A long time councillor and respected parliamentarian in his own right, Bill is facing an uphill task to win the seat as Labour's Catherine Fookes is in pole position but, as ever, Bill is seeking to represent the best of big and small 'L' liberalism in this key border territory. You can find Bill on Twitter/X here: https://twitter.com/WmPowell2021 The candidates in Monmouthshire are: Conservative and Unionist Party: David TC Davies England and Wales Green Party: Ian Chandler Heritage Party: Emma Meredith Independent: Owen Lewis Liberal Democrats: Bill Powell Plaid Cymru: Ioan Bellin Reform UK: Max Windsor-Peplow True & Fair Party: June Davies UK Labour: Catherine Fookes As always, you can find the latest from us @hiraethpod on most social media, including Twitter/X here: twitter.com/HiraethPod We hope you find this podcast interesting and useful.

April 22, 1945 - Broadcast from Twenty Nine Palms naval air station. The Jack Benny show is back after a week off due to the death of FDR. Jack mentions the reviews of his new movie. Episode references include Dick Tracy and Gravel Gertie, Donald Duck, William Powell, Fitch hair tonic, songs "Apple Blossom Time" and "Surrey with the Fringe on Top", and the sporting goods store Abercrombie and Fitch.
At 10:30PM eastern time on NBC's WEAF, The Bob Crosby Show took to the air in New York with the just-heard Les Tremayne as co-host and Shirley Mitchell as the special guest. This episode's rating was 13.8. Earlier this evening, Shirley Mitchell played Leila Ransom on NBC's The Great Gildersleeve. Opposite The Bob Crosby Show, The Adventures of The Thin Man took to the air on CBS. Based on the 1934 film starring William Powell and Myrna Loy, both Les Tremayne and Les Damon at times co-starred with Claudia Morgan as Nick and Nora Charles. Nick Charles was a retired private eye who just couldn't stay away from murder. The Thin Man gave its listeners all the censor would allow. Morgan cooed invitingly: she mouthed long, drawn-out kisses and kidded Nicky-darling about his outlandish pajamas. One critic strongly objected to the “oohhs” and “aahhs” and “mmmm's'' during kisses. But as feminine and cozy as Claudia Morgan played Nora, LIFE noted that “she can step across pools of blood with all the calm delicacy of a lady-in-waiting.” Parker Fennelly played Sheriff Ebenezer Williams. The rating for this episode was 16.1. Roughly twelve million people tuned in.
April 8, 1945 - From Torney Hospital In Palm Springs, Jack Benny dreams (guest star) William Powell is his butler.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For and this Toe Tag.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is normally a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you at the heart of mystery. Today is a bonus episode we call a Toe Tag. It is the first chapter from a fresh release in the mystery, crime, and thriller genre.Today's featured release is Hounds of the Hollywood Baskervilles. TG Wolff ReviewHounds of the Hollywood Baskervilles is a comedic, cozy mystery. Babs Norman is a Hollywood stunner, but instead of gracing the silver screen, she's gumshoeing it through the star-studded streets. Hollywood's movers and shakers are reeling as canine stars and faithful companions alike are disappearing. Babs must mingle with Tinseltown's elite to find the hand that holds the leash.Bottom line: Hounds of the Hollywood Baskervilles is for you if you like cozy-styled mysteries and fun-filled romps through the golden age of Hollywood.Strengths of the story. One of the shining stars (ha!) of the story was the 1940 Hollywood setting. Crowens took us into the glitz and glamour of the parties, the mansions, and the sets. It was one of the most unique and detailed settings I think I have ever read. The depth of Crowens imagination is a remarkable as she brings a lost world back to life.The characters surrounding the mystery are just as creatively detailed. Basil Rathbone of Sherlock Holmes fame and his Watson, Nigel Bruce. Myrna Loy and William Powell. Crowens takes what could have been cardboard cut outs of the icons and gives them family, relationship troubles, friends, and secrets – just like normal people. I don't know how much research Crowens did or if the result was pure imagination, but it was a sweet result.The character of Babs Norman and her partner Guy Brandt are a good, functional team. They were witty and engaging, but largely played the straight role to the Hollywood icons. I do look to see how much a detective drives the story. In the first half of the book, Babs goes about traditional Q&A which doesn't yield much success. Then she decides to take a risk, grabbing control of the story and getting it moving forward.This story has been classified as a cozy, won awards as a comedy, and listed as a historical. The steady passing and clean storytelling style is a real treat.Where the story fell short of ideal: When it came to the motive behind the dognappings, it was as solid as it was creative. But inside of that, there were elements that felt underplayed or inconsistent. The number of dogs missing and their fame increases but there is no outcry, it isn't picked up in the press, etc. It was believable when it was two dogs, but as it grew, I felt like the story didn't grow with it.While it is critical that the detective drives their story, the logic of the actions also matters. There was a point where Babs had earned her big break in the case, and then the story took a doglegged turn. She abandoned her first success for a half-heard reference. I had issues with the sudden redirection that seemed to fly in the face of the evidence.In the category of personal preference, I struggled with the breakdown of the chapters. There are 38 chapters, most of which are seven to ten pages. Then three of the last four chapters were over 20 pages each with subsections. It confused me as I read as I was conditioned to expect the short, quick hitting chapters.All in all, this was a clean, fun read.Hounds of the Hollywood Baskervilles was released from Level Best Books and is promoted by Partners In Crime Tours and is available from AMAZON LINK and other book...
