Thursday Night - Old Time Radio

This week, Rick Spurgeon will be playing his great selection of shows. Let us see
what he is think about.
We all know what radio does better than almost any other medium; that is, it paints
clear, accurate and individual pictures for us. This time our radio dial spins from
coast to coast as we hear (and I think enjoy) two examples of that forte. Two different
detectives give us two different examples of what I call “descriptive narrative”.
Join me, won’t you?
“Rotten Rick,”
Robert Acosta, Group Facilitator

This week’s host is Rob Hancik who will be playing two Gun Smoke programs.

This week’s host is John Beaulieu. let us see what john will be playing for us today.
Hello again it’s time for another What Once Was Radio! This time we will have fun
with a baseball murder and the ginger bread man. Join me this Thursday night and
I’ll tell you more.

Dear Old-Time-Radio Fans,
Once again, we get ready for our usual Thursday Night session in The Fred Bertelsen
Old Time Radio Room. Our fine host this week is an old friend, Matt Cox of Garden
Grove, California.
This means Cruising the Classics will be played once more. Let us see what matt will
be playing.
An early example of science fiction and a well loved American classic are the topics
for this week’s Cruising The Classics. We start with Jack London. Now I know that
that name doesn’t ring when we think of science fiction. But wait until you’ve heard
Escape from April 8 of 194. And tell me what you think. We’ll then go to the Mercury
Summer Theatre of the Air and go in search of the elusive white whale. There’s a
Spanish sixteen dollar gold piece nailed to the mast of the Pequod. And we’ll enjoy
Moby Dick.

hosted by Joy Jackson:
On Thursday, August 26, Radio out of the Past has a treat in store. We’ll have not
only Doctor Watson, but also Harry Nile with us. That’s two of the roles that can
be heard on Imagination Theater, by our guest. Larry Albert, actor and general manager
of Imagination Theatre, and I were friends long before I knew anything about old
time radio. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of radio, continues to perform on stage,
and is making his living as a radio actor. We will dip into all of those things,
and more.

For this week, I’ll be playing the following:
X Minus 1: The Lifeboat Mutiny
Gunsmoke: The Liar from Blackhawk
Kelly John Sapergia
Robert Acosta, Group Facilitator

I will play another set of commercials from Commercial Corner by our good friend
Danny Goodwin. Danny titles his presentation: Commercial Stories.

Yesterday once More by Rob hancik, Suspense

Your host is that man from Townsend, Mass, John Beaulieu. Let us see what he will be playing for us.
Hello again and yes it’s time for another what once was radio. Thursday July 29th.
Music has always been a big part of radio so why don’t you join me for some toe tapping and other sound as well. If you have a significant other, you may even want to dance. Three good shows just waiting for you and me. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

This week, we turn to the great shows of Rick Spurgeon. Let us see what Rick has
in store for us.
Would you believe we’re already almost a third of the way through summer? If this
is the best time of year to kick back and relax on a summer evening with some cool
ice tea or lemonade and have some good OTR fun, we better get at it. Accordingly,
I invite you to join me as we sample two of radio’s fine entertainers by the names
of Gordon and Aldrich. By the way, these may not be the stars who first came to your
mind. At any rate, sit back and let’s all chuckle together. Oh, and I’ll take my
ice tea straight.
