In this special, we look back at the top five half-hour Old Time Radio programs of our 2024-2025 season, and one of our best Old Time Radio Snack Wagon episodes. First up, it's The Falcon in "The Case of the Jumping Jack": A woman hires The Falcon because she suspects that her husband has hired a private eye to follow her. Original Radio Broadcast Date: April 20, 1952 Originating from New York Starring: Les Damon as The Falcon; Chuck Webster as Sergeant Corbett Then we turn to the Your Playhouse of Favorites production of "The Suicide Club": A bored crown prince, looking for excitement, joins a club of men who want to end their lives. Original Air Date: Sometime between 1947 and 1949 Originating from New York Starring: Dwight Reese; Walter Vaughn Speaking of Robert Louis Stevenson, we turn to an excerpt from The Orson Welles Almanac wherein Welles reads Stevenson's lesser-known letter defending Father Damien against the scathing remarks of Reverend Dr. C.M. Hyde. This impassioned response, penned in 1890, highlights the stark contrasts between the selfless heroism of Father Damien and the hypocrisy of his critics. Join us as we explore the rich historical context and emotional weight of Stevenson's words, showcasing not only a brilliant literary takedown but also a tribute to compassion and service in the face of adversity. Welles's masterful narration brings this poignant piece to life, reminding us of the enduring legacy of Father Damien. Complete Text of Stevenson's letter: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/281/281-h/281-h.htm Then we turn to a surreal episode of Mr. and Mrs. North, "Call Me Choo Choo" Today’s Mystery:Pam and Jerry hear a clarinet being played in the middle of the country near a wrecked car.

In August 2023, we launched the Old Time Radio Snack Wagon, featuring a variety of short old time radio programs. In this episode, we offer five samples of the type of programs we feature on the Old Time Radio Snack Wagon. Family Doctor: False Witness "Hello there, this is the Family Doctor...." Join us as we travel back in time to a small town, where Doctor Grant Adams dispenses medicine for the body and common sense advice for the soul, in this little-known family drama series from the 1930s. In this first episode, a teenage girl becomes the subject of gossip after some church money turns up missing. Can Doc Adams prevent a tragedy? Potential series air dates for the series vary from 1932-38. The earliest I can find a record of the series being aired was in the fall of 1937. Unsolved Mysteries: The Borden Mystery On this first syndicated episode of the 1930s series Unsolved Mysteries, we take a look at the mysterious slaying of Andrew Borden and his second wife Abby in 1892 and how suspicion fell on Andrew's daughter, Lizzie. Unsolved Mysteries not only explains the case in a nutshell but also offers a solution to the crime. While Unsolved Mysteries was a syndicated true crime series in the 1930s, it didn't start out that way. We take a look at the series's origin and the original program's sponsorship by Ken-Rad, a Kentucky-based firm selling radio tubes. The series originated from Station WLW in Cincinnati, and we talk about the station's forgotten role in the Golden Age of Radio as America's superstation, and why it was called that. Cecil B. DeMille interviews Walt Disney about Snow White Two Hollywood legends share a stage in this listener-inspired Snack Wagon. The year is 1937. A young filmmaker is about to release a groundbreaking new work, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Walt Disney was invited on the Lux Radio Theater to be interviewed Hollywood director Cecil B. DeMille about the film and about what future projects he was working on. The interview took place on December 20, 1937 in Hollywood, the day before Snow White's premiere. The Adventures of Babe Ruth: Babe Takes the Blame While on the road in Chicago, Babe tries to help a young boy who was pressured to steal from him by an older boy, and finds himself in plenty of trouble. Originally Aired in 1949 Sponsored by US Navy Recruiting; the announcer is Jackson Beck Jack Benny and Fred Allen Patch Up the Feud for Christmas For the special Command Performance Christmas Eve show, a serviceman requested that Jack Benny and Fred Allen patch up their feud, and this is their answer. The segment is introduced by Bob Hope who hands the show to Fred Allen and Jack Benny in New York.
