Jo Ann reminds us that  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. So please tune in to Women Plus show this Saturday, October 15th at 2PM. Hear all about:

Women Singing OUT!  presents:

“Where I Live: A Breast Cancer Oratorio”

Composed in 1999 by Diane Benjamin, “Where I Live: A Breast Cancer Oratorio” is an important work that stresses the environmental factors that still drive the high rate of cancer through the experience of one woman, who represent many. Filled with lyrical beauty and rhythmic intensity, the oratorio is comprised of six narrative readings alternating with seven songs performed by the chorus and chamber orchestra.

Jo Ann welcomes two members of  Women Singing Out (see photo above).  They are Claudia Frost (see photo below), director, and Marte McNally.  Marte has sung the piece they will be featuring during the show, Where I Live: A Breast Cancer Oratorio,  with another group in Denver, CO.  She has been at WSO! for four years and has been instrumental in making the performance occur.

Women Plus - Saturday - October 15th - 2-4pm - listen locally at 106.1 fm or streaming live online at www.wscafm.org and click on “Listen Now” at top menu of the page.

It’s X-Minus One Night on Portsmouth Community Radio Audio Theatre.  Yes, four of the highest rated back to back  X Minus One programs: ” Cold Equations”, “Protection”, “Martian Death March”, and “ The Seventh Victim” - 1957.  If you like Sci-Fi, this is the place to be on Tuesday, August 2nd from 6 to 8 pm.   More Info: http://heirloomradio.com/audio_theatre_page.htm

Inner Sanctum starts us off with our “Horror-Thriller Night” Program.   The episode is “Dead Man’s Holiday” and it was originally aired on September 18, 1950.  Your host, Raymond (Paul McGrath) greets you as the creaking door makes its spooky appearance.  Prepare yourself for another ghostly tale accompanied by Raymond’s sickly puns!   Inner Sanctum ran from 1941 to 1952 producing over 520 episodes.  It was a premier horror series on radio.

Escape is up next… with “The Fourth Man” from August 18, 1947.    Producer, Norman MacDonald (Gunsmoke) utilizes the talents of Paul Frees and William Conrad in another episode of “ESCAPE.”  Our protagonist is in dire straits… all wrapped up in the supernatural.  Tonight’s episode stars William Johnstone… and will definitely give you an opportunity to “get away from it all… Escape!”

From the famous Lights Out series comes our own Audio Theatre Players in “Coffin in Studio B”. 

This episode of “Lights Out” that was originally written by Wyllis Cooper in 1934 and aired on July 13, 1946.  Our local actors got together in the WSCA studio on July 22nd, 2008 and performed the script live for our listening audience.  Our players (l-r in above photo) include: James Darling, James Sears, Chuck Curtis, Dan Comly and Brian Gregg.   Melanie Lovering (photo below) did the manual sound effects.  Audio editing and mixing was done by John Lovering.   This story takes place in Studio B of a radio station where the actors are rehearsing a murder mystery one last time before they go on the air.   They are interrupted by a strange visitor who happens to be selling coffins!

Tune in to The Free Speech Zone on Sunday night June 5th at 7 pm to hear a 1956 CBS Radio Workshop  production of Aldous Huxley’s classic 1932 novel, Brave New World, narrated by the author. With announcer William Conrad , the cast includes Joseph Kearns, Bill Idleson, Gloria Henry, Charlote Lawrence, Byron Kane, Sam Edwards, Jack Kruschen, Bill Conrad, Vic Perrin and Lurene Tuttle. Music composed and conducted by Bernard Herrmann . Brave New World is of the most influential, cutting edge science fiction books ever published and forecasts a civilization centered in London, some 632 years into the future, in which Man’s machines have overtaken Man himself. Human reproduction has  become completely automated, as well as the nurturing and educational processes. Now having become victim to Man’s own modernization, the program examines every conceivable extreme of such a distopian civilization and its plight.
