    The Free Speech Zone - Sunday - July 31st - 7-8 pm - Host: DJ Big Brother - Then Stay Tuned for “Lives in the Balance” 8-9 pm
    July 29th, 2011

    Tune in to The Free Speech Zone on Sunday night July 30th at 7 pm to hear a recent Radio Ecoshock show titled: KILL THE CAR: Escaping the religion of car domination. We hear a talk by Yves Engler, co author with Bianca Mugyenyi of  “Stop Signs: Cars & Capitalism on the road to economic, social and ecological decay”. The book is a warning to people who suspect cars might play a significant role in our planet’s unfolding environmental disaster: The automobile is much worse than you think. In addition it is a cautionary tale for the majority of our planet’s inhabitants. Learn from the “developed world”  what good you can, but take heed from what we have done wrong. The book also contains a message for people who believe our current economic system will provide solutions to overcome the environmental  destructiveness of the private car: Not bloody likely. Modern capitalism and cars go together like Minneapolis and St. Paul, like rubber and the road.  One is very hard to imagine without the other.

    Audio Theatre - Tuesday - July 26th - 6-8 pm - Host: John Lovering - Featured Shows: Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Lodger” / Mystery House -”Death Passed My Window” / Jean Shepherd - “Western Spectacular” / Adventures of Superman - “Airplane Disaster”
    July 24th, 2011

     

     

    Alfred Hitchcock made his first big radio appearance when he produced and directed the very first episode of Suspense on July 21st, 1940.   It was the first in a string of over 900 stories heard on Suspense.   Hitchcock’s show was “The Lodger” …. based on a film he had produced a year or so earlier.   An unsuspecting couple rents a room to a rather strange-acting man.  After a few days they begin to wonder if he could be Jack the Ripper… the serial killer they have been reading about in the local papers.   Great show!  What a way to start a new series!

     

    An ensemble cast plays a group of mystery writers who write and then act out the mysteries that they create.  They work in a publishing house known appropriately as the Mystery House.  This is a very creative and unique program… wel-acted and entertaining mystery stories that began on NBC in 1929 and ran until about 1951.  This show is a premier program for Portsmouth Community Radio Audio Theatre… this is the first time we have aired an episode of this show in seven years.   Don’t miss “Death Passed My Window” from the Mystery House.

     

    Jean Shepherd is a most beloved radio hosts, humorist and storyteller.  He wrote the now classic film “A Christmas Story,” and during his radio shows (1948-1970′s) he would always spin a tale or two about his childhood.  Tonight you will hear part of a show from Jean’s WOR in NYC days.. . as he tells the tale of the Western Spectacular movie and other tales.   Note:  Jean is the man that Jerry Seinfeld modeled his humor after…  Shepherd was also the model for Garrison Keillor of A Prarie Home Companion fame.   Yes, Jean Shepherd was that good!

    Join host John Lovering for two hours of some great radio from the Golden Age of Radio…. locally at 106.1 fm or streaming online at www.wscafm.org and click on “Listen Now” at the top of the page.  6-8 pm every Tuesday.  Tell your friends about Audio Theatre and Portsmouth Community Radio.

    Audio Theatre - July 19th - 6-8 pm - Host: John Lovering - Featured Shows: “The Jack Benny Program - Operation Recuperation” - “The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show - Helping Remley to Qualify for an Inheritance” - “Fort Laramie - Squaw Man” - “The Couple Next Door - Trip to the Ice Carnival”
    July 17th, 2011

    Jack and the entire cast: Don Wilson, Dennis Day, Eddie “Rochester” Anderson, Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, and Mel Blanc - will entertain you with comedy that is as good now as it was back on October 23, 1949 when this program “Operation Recuperation” was aired.   Jack has had an operation on his nose and let us say that his recuperation is worse for the cast than it is for the patient, Jack!  Lots of laughs.

    A spin-off from the Jack Benny Program, this sitcom starring bandleader Phil Harris and his movie star-songstress wife, Alice Faye and featuring Elliot Lewis as Frankie Remley will have you laughing out loud.  Tonight from December 5, 1948 - “Helping Remley to Qualify for an Inheritance.”  Tune in for 30 minutes of pure joy!

     

     

    Returning again this week, from the director of Gunsmoke, comes Fort Laramie starring Raymond Burr (photo above, right).  This 1956 series which included “Specially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground of the wild frontier and the saga of fighting men who rode the rim of empire, and the dramatic story of Lee Quince, Captain of cavalry.”

    Lee Quince was played by Raymond Burr, a 39 year old Canadian actor with 37 films under his belt.  He was perfect in this role that only lasted for one year as Burr was offered a television series entitled Perry Mason in 1957… and the rest, as they say, is history.

    Tonight’s Fort Laramie episode is from January 1956 and is entitled “Squaw Man.”

    The Burt Cohen Show - Tuesday - July 12 - Noon-1 pm - Guest: David Goldfield, Author of “America Aflame”
    July 11th, 2011

     

    Was the Civil War necessary? Did the unimaginably horrible devastation accomplish anything?

    David Goldfield, author of the new book America Aflame is Burt’s guest Tuesday 7/12. Sure, there are thousands of books on the Civil War, yet this is a very enlightening perspective. Why did the northern abolitionists give up on blacks after the war? How did science replace faith in propping up racism? Was the south forced to launch a war? Tune in between noon and one, you know where wscafm.org or 106.1 FM

    Audio Theatre - Tuesday - July 12th - 6 to 8 PM - Host: John Lovering / Featured Shows: “The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” // “Mr. and Mrs. North” // “Fort Laramie” //
    July 10th, 2011

    Tom Conway (left) and Nigel Bruce (right) star in The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
    Conway replaced Basil Rathbone as Holmes in the series in 1946.  Nigel Bruce remained as Dr. Watson.
    Tonight’s episode is a classic tale of mystery and intrigue as only Arthur Conan Doyle’s infamous characters solve!  “It is elementary, dear Watson”!
    Tonight’s episode is from November 9, 1946 and is entitled “The Singular Affair of Dying Schoolboys.”

     

    Barbara Britton and Richard Denning star as Pam and Jerry North in Mr. and Mrs. North.  Tonight you will hear “The Coat of Arms” from June 30, 1957.   These are first class mystery stories with a healthy mix of wit and comedy added in for good measure.  Each episode features  Jerry and Pam getting involved in mayhem and murder without even trying!  Good show.

     

    Raymond (Perry Mason and Ironside) Burr stars in this first class western series created by the same team that created and directed the classic Gunsmoke series on radio and television.
    As the intro to the program states, “Specially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground of the wild frontier. The saga of fighting men who rose the rim of  empire, and the dramatic story of Lee Quince (Burr) , Captain of cavalry.
    The series was know for its attention to detail in the names of places, military, and Native American protocol and customs. 
    Tonight’s epsode is entitled Playing Indian, and was originally aired as a syndicated show in January 1956.
