MERRY HOLIDAY GREETINGS TO OUR LISTENERS!

PROJECT AUDION 76: The Bob Hope Pepsodent Show Bob Hope was one of the 20th century's greatest and most famous entertainers: in vaudeville and movies, and especially his radio (and later TV) comedies, so often performed in front of appreciative US servicemen, kept America smiling for better than six decades. He became an icon of American humor, and it is a special challenge indeed to bring the Hope style back to life. But now Project Audion premieres a "new" 1940s-era Bob Hope radio show -- thanks to the pen of former Hope writer Robert L. Mills, the vocal wizardry of Bill Johnson, and Project Audion's versatile voice actors. In this new Christmas creation, Bob's guest star is Lana Turner, who joins him to spoof the classic movie "Double Indemnity." It's a show guaranteed to make you smile!  Our Cast: Bill Johnson in Nevada  Stephanie Johnson in Virginia Les Marsden in California Jacob Palka In Illinois Bethany Baldwin in South Carolina Dane Allred in Utah The show was written by Bob Mills in California and produced and directed by Larry Groebe from Texas

OLD-TIME RADIO ESSENTIALS Episode 55: The Great Gildersleeve (S5 Holiday Special) Old-Time Radio Essentials returns with episode 55, and as we continue Season 5, we present Paul's pick, an installment of the NBC comedy series, The Great Gildersleeve, from 12/24/44. Come for the old-time radio, stay for the scintillating (that's one way of putting it) discussion afterwards! As you listen, perhaps you'll learn if we feel this entry meets the following criteria: 1. Is it truly representative of that series? (Can anyone point to it and say, "Yes, that is what [NAME OF SERIES] was all about.") 2. Is it an episode worthy of inclusion in any and every OTR aficionado's private collection? So with this in mind, we four bring you, as our fifty-fifth number (but 6th official episode of S5), this episode of The Great Gildersleeve, from Christmas Eve, 1944. We'll introduce the show, play it in its entirety, then discuss it at length. Thanks for joining us, and we hope you enjoy it!  Please show your support of the podcast by doing any of the following... To comment on how we might improve OTR-E, or give suggestions for future discussions, please write to us at [email protected] . Put the word "Essentials" in the subject line. Your feedback means a lot to us! A review at iTunes or at your usual podcatcher would be appreciated. Next Time: It's Pete's pick again, and he'll bring us, for our 1st number of 2026, special guest programmer (and fellow OTR podcaster) John Tefteller, who will be sharing an episode of You Bet Your Life, starring Groucho Marx. Join us then, won't you?

Lost Tycho Brahe and Mrs. Longfellow 1985 TV Pilot Tycho Brahe & Mrs. Longfellow (1985) — "They're in love. With each other. And with danger." Rumble Falls is the kind of sleepy mining town where the neon flickers, the saxophone never sleeps, and somebody is always "accidentally" falling into a shaft. Into this glitter-dusted grit strolls a most 80s power-couple: Tycho Brahe—yes, the 16th-century Danish astronomer with the polished brass nose—reborn by unexplained TV science and forever quoting the heavens, and Mrs. Longfellow—cocktail-wielding socialite, magazine maven, and problem-solver who can spot a murder motive faster than she can finish a bourbon. Think Hart to Hart chemistry, Simon & Simon stakeouts, and Murder, She Wrote coincidence—all poured over crushed ice and served with a cheeky umbrella.   The unaired two-hour pilot drops our lovers into "A Case of Miss Dynamite," where a pageant queen goes boom, a mayor sweats rosewater, and a foreman insists a lit stick of dynamite is a "romance candle." Crane shots you can practically hear, freeze-frame laughs you can definitely feel, and a theme song that says "lighthearted crime show" before the first commercial bumper. Tycho charts trajectories and blood spatter like star maps; Mrs. Longfellow reads people like a society page. The clues point left-handed, the alibis go right out the window, and every time Tycho's about to solve it, she solves him instead. Do they crack the case? Eventually. Do they sizzle? Constantly. (Cue the rim-lit promo still, police tape just out of focus, and a jet that keeps "turning around" for one more kiss.)   In true 80s fashion, the town's brass can't stand them, the townsfolk adore them, and the captions were supposed to explain everything… not that anyone read those during the key change. The result is a gloriously anachronistic, neon-noir valentine to prime-time sleuthing: part telescope, part tumbler, all chemistry.  Credits (1985 pilot) ·         Written & Directed by Tom Konkle ·         Produced by Tom Konkle and Kurtis Bedford (Mindstream Audio) ·         Stephanie Dulli … Mrs. Longfellow ·         Tom Konkle … Tycho Brahe ·         Jude Gerard Prest … Mayor Gribbons ·         Kurtis Bedford … Lt. Hassellhoff ·         Jill Manglione … Darla / Barmaid ·         David Beeler … Foreman Steve ·         Andy Hartson-Bowyer … Narrator   (Never aired. Cult status inevitable.)
