PROJECT AUDION EXTRA: Adventures of Stan Slade Jul 20, 2025

Show notes

A PROJECT AUDION EXTRA: The Adventures of Stan Slade, "The Burmese Penguin Caper" What do you do if you grew up listening the classic dramatic series on the radio, then found a career writing TV comedy for Bob Hope, and now, decades later, you still harbor fond feelings about those radio shows of your youth? Well, if you're Robert L. Mills, you write shows like the one you're about to hear. It's a takeoff of a certain famous detective whose name sounds awfully similar to OUR show's hero, named Stan Slade. The original "Adventures of Sam Spade" was broadcast in the late 1940s and early '50s. It starred Howard Duff as the detective created by Dashiell Hammett. It was a fun show that never took itself entirely seriously. Mr. Mills has nudged his tribute a little further into the tongue-in-cheek -- or should I say tongue in beak? -territory, reuniting the detective with his old adversaries from the Maltese Falcon movie, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Everyone in our cast gets to have some fun with this adventure of Stan Slade, Detective, entitled "The Burmese Penguin Caper".

CLASSIC RADIO ROAD SHOW: Gunsmoke and Frontier Gentleman Jul 20, 2025

Show notes

It's a double-feature from Classic Radio Road Show, performed before a live audience.

Gunsmoke represents the rarest of phenomena in the annals of radio and television. It not only ran for decades, but it also introduced to the public a cast of characters that gradually took on mythic proportions and forever became part of the popular consciousness. SuZanne and Gabor Barabas, the authors of the preeminent book on the history of both the radio and television versions of Gunsmoke, were on hand at this live performance to talk afterward about the series and answer questions.

Frontier Gentleman was one of several "adult westerns," along with Gunsmoke and others, that appeared on radio and television in the early 1950s. The genre was described as "grittier, more realistic", and clearly intended for an older audience.

Cast of Gunsmoke:

Elaine Steelman as Kitty

Marcia Finn as Edna

Michael Bürgi as Chester

Brian Hotaling as Mitt Dillon

Anthony Aversano as Doc

Duane Noch as Hans Gruber

Sheldon Fallon as Mr. Jonas

Cast of Frontier Gentleman:

Brian Hotaling as Kendall

WELCOME TO MUTANT COUNTY - AL'S PREGNANT Jul 13, 2025

Show notes

EPISODE 3 - AL'S PREGNANT

Welcome. Welcome to Mutant County! Lady Finger is a small town like any other. Nestled in the heart of a small county, the denizens are, for the most part, just like you and me. In fact, they could be you and me except for one important detail… or two.

Lady Finger and the surrounding hamlets that make up Clover County will – in the not too distant future – suffer massive nuclear fallout from a sudden reactor leak. Soon they will be quietly wondering if the radioactivity created the abominations that besiege their little community or indeed merely attracted them – perhaps from some unspeakable interdimensional rift.

By the time the Cultists take over the local graveyard and mysterious government agents impose an invisible barrier around the entire county "for their safety", Clover County will be no more, and Mutant County will stand, festering, in its place. And yet the good people of the county remain, and they'd like to welcome you to their little village… be it ever so humble.

Episode 3: "Al's Pregnant" was written and performed by Michael P. Thiessen and Peter Church.
