Radio Archives


 
April 25, 2014
 
 
 
Very few radio shows that aired during Radio’s Golden Age between the early 1930s right on up into the 1950s managed to spin off an equally successful sequel series – yet Jerry Dugan’s circus adventures proved to be so popular amongst young listeners that a sequel series about Jerry’s adventures in a military school – Jerry at Fair Oaks – quickly followed.
 
Jerry Dugan’s first set of radio adventures – Jerry of the Circus - began in 1937, when Hollywood-based Transco first conceived of the story of Jerry Dugan, an orphaned boy who is taken in by the Randall Brothers’ Circus after the death of his father.
 
Jerry and his dog Rags are unofficially adopted by the Randall Brothers’ Circus and are quickly befriended by most of the performers. Mystery and intrigue quickly follow and Jerry discovers that one of the circus performers is actually his long lost uncle who is suffering from amnesia!
 
Jerry at Fair Oaks picks up shortly after Sam Randall is named Jerry Dugan’s legal guardian. While Jerry’s new found family love him, they believe that a circus is no place for a bright boy with plenty of potential to grow up in. So Sam Randall decides to enroll Jerry as a full-time boarding student at the Military Academy at Fair Oaks.
 
Jerry’s adventures at Fair Oaks are often seen as a touching coming of age drama of a young boy taking his first steps towards manhood. While Jerry hates to leave the circus behind; he soon makes new friends – and even enemies – among his fellow cadets while participating in the academy’s football and polo teams. Jerry also becomes involved in a mystery surrounding his roommate and fellow cadet Les.
 
Jerry at Fair Oaks is a timeless and classic coming of age story that still enthralls listeners with its powerful storytelling. 8 hours. $23.98 Audio CDs / $11.99 Download

"Philo Vance", the creation of S. S. Van Dine, first appeared in a 1926 murder mystery, and, as later stated by its publisher, "it was at once obvious that something original and exciting had happened to the detective story." Eleven more books followed in the series before their author passed away in 1939. When, in the late Fifties, Charles Scribner's Sons was considering reissues of the Vance books, a publisher's note stated that the combined sales of the original editions totaled more than half a million copies - an impressive figure for its day. There had also been magazine serializations, a play, major motion picture adaptations - and spoofs, both in print and on celluloid, so well known had the "Philo Vance" character become.
 
In 1948, Frederick W. Ziv brought the Philo Vance character to radio in a program of that name, as one of his then-novel syndicated series; stations airing these programs inserted local advertising. Veteran radio announcer and actor Jackson Beck had the title role, and the weekly half-hour entries ran well into 1950.
 
Ziv's syndicated "Philo Vance" was enacted at a large New York City studio right off Broadway - the same studio where the ubiquitous "elevator music" was also produced. The facility was leased for five or six hours per session; the longer the time booked, the less expensive it became, and it often happened that two programs would be recorded between approximately 5 and 10:30 PM. Jeanne K. Harrison directed most of the shows; the writers were Robert J. Shaw and Kenny Lyons; and Henry Sylvern provided the incidental organ music. The case included George Petrie as "District Attorney Markham"; Joan Alexander and Frances Farras, respectively, as Vance's secretary "Ellen Deering"; and Humphrey Davis as "Sergeant Heath". The production staff included a couple of sound-effects men, using both live and prerecorded noises. If a blooper occurred that was too pronounced, the entire program had to be redone because the recordings couldn't be edited. 10 hours. Regular Price $29.98 - Specially priced until May 8 for $14.99 Audio CDs / $7.49 Download

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #49
by William Grey Beyer
Read by Milton Bagby. Liner Notes by Will Murray
 
 
The best-selling pulp magazine of the 1930s was Argosy. Published weekly, the title followed a simple formula for keeping its readers entertained. Their stories were lean, plot-driven, and always captivating.  Long factual explanations were kept to a minimum and  logic was sometimes stretched to the breaking point. But, the first rule of storytelling was never broken – keep the action going and never let facts interfere with the narrative’s pace.
 
Minions of the Moon by William Grey Beyer, published in Argosy in 1939, perfectly fit those requirements. The novel concerned Mark Nevins, an ordinary guy who needed his appendix removed. When his surgeon asked him to sign a paper giving the doctor the right to use a new anesthetic, Mark saw no reason not to cooperate. Of course, that was before he discovered that the drug put him in suspended animation for 6,000 years.  Awakening in a world he knew nothing about, Mark found himself in a well-equipped tomb in the company of an invisible ghost who seemed intent on annoying him at every opportunity.
 
Things progressed from bad to worse. Mark discovered that civilization had collapsed into barbarism, democracy was merely a memory, and there was no place for a Twentieth Century city-dweller. And, that’s not considering the invisible Omega, who is the last member of a lunar race, seeking some human companionship.
 
It’s the beginning of a fun novel, as Mark and Omega explore this brave new Earth, meet a beautiful girl (of course), encounter a band of Neo-Vikings, and battle two very evil Russian brains housed in bottles. It’s science fiction without any science!  Minions of the Moon is also a top example of the fast-paced storytelling so beloved by Argosy readers. Mark and Omega proved so popular that they appeared in three more serials over the next few years – Minions of Mars, Minions of Mercury, and Minions of the Shadow.  All three being wild, enthralling fantasies passing as science fiction, composed by an author who later wrote several mysteries, and then vanished. 6 hours $23.98 Audio CDs / $9.99 Download
 
 
Robert Weinberg Presents
by Jay Bonansinga
Read by Nick Santa Maria
 
 
In the tradition of The Exorcist, Jay Bonansinga’s novel, Oblivion takes the listener on a unique and frightening ride described in terrifying detail from this bestselling writer. In a dramatic showdown between the forces of good and evil, mankind's salvation rests in the hands of a burnt-out relic of a priest.
 
One snowy night in Chicago, Father Martin Delaney, a drunken ex-priest is torn away from his liquor by a well-dressed stranger. The man, who turns out to be Delaney’s former altar boy, Jimmy Dodd, is now a lawyer. He wants Father Martin to perform an ancient exorcism ritual on a famous house located far south of the Windy City. Delaney, who was defrocked due to an unsanctioned bungled exorcism, has no desire to help his altar boy. But the young lawyer won’t take no for an answer.
 
Arriving blindfolded in the middle of a raging blizzard at the special location in Washington, D.C., Father Martin soon realizes that the house that he has entered, a vast place of many rooms, is seriously haunted by a malevolent demon. And that he is the one man who can stop it from bringing about the destruction of the Earth.
 
Only then does Delaney realize that his meeting with Jimmy was not merely by chance. The nameless building is the White House, which has been possessed for hundreds of years by a menacing specter. As the priest tries to learn the spirit’s motives, he discovers a dark secret of American history.
 
Father Martin is an ordinary man, a man of doubts and fears, a man who has failed once in banishing a demon to the dark pits of hell. Now, he must stand against the army of darkness with only his wavering faith to support him.
 
Jay Bonansinga studied creative writing at Michigan State University and film directing at Columbia College, Chicago. Since then, he has written many bestselling horror and thriller novels, and directed numerous short films and music videos. Jay Bonansinga is the New York Times bestselling co-author (with Robert Kirkman) of The Walking Dead: The Fall of the Governor, as well as twenty other novels and non-fiction works published in eleven languages. He has been called “one of the most imaginative writers of thrillers” by the Chicago Tribune. 8 hours $31.98 Audio CDs / $15.99 Download
 
A note from Bob: "Like all of the books selected for "Robert Weinberg Presents" Oblivion is an exceptional horror novel and it makes for terrific listening! We're aiming for the best in the business, folks, and we have the authors worth hearing!"

Dime Mystery Magazine James A Goldthwaite Book 1
In 1934 a new type of magazine was born. Known by various names — the shudder pulps, mystery-terror magazines, horror-terror magazines — weird menace is the sub-genre term that has survived today. Dime Mystery Magazine was one of the most popular. It came from Popular Publications, whose publisher Harry Steeger was inspired by the Grand Guignol theater of Paris. This breed of pulp story survived less than ten years, but in that time, they became infamous, even to this day. This ebook contains a collection of stories from the pages of Dime Mystery Magazine, all written by James A Goldthwaite reissued for today’s readers in electronic format. $2.99.

Beginning in 1932, Battle Birds brought readers a thrilling main story, referred to as a “novel”, that featured a rotating cast of main characters like The Three Mosquitoes and Smoke Wade. After nineteen issues, just over a year and a half after its debut, the magazine began to feature the air adventures of Dusty Ayres, and the magazine became officially titled Dusty Ayres and his Battle Birds. This lasted until the summer of 1935 when the magazine folded after thirty-one issues. But Battle Birds wasn't finished; it would return. In early 1940, Battle Birds reappeared on the newsstands. But now the focus of the stories was on the conflict that would soon be known as World War II. This resurrected Battle Birds lasted for 26 issues until May 1944. And now Battle Birds is back, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format. $2.99.
 
Dare-Devil Aces #037 April 1935 The Dynamite Trio
Dare-Devil Aces was another of the many pulps that rode the wave of popularity of World War I aviation tales in the decade after the conflict. It made its debut in February 1932 and lasted for an astounding 135 issues. It finally closed after World War II ended, with the November 1946 issue. During its run, it presented a wide assortment of high-flying aerial series, including The Red Falcon, The Vanished Legion, The Three Mosquitoes, Molloy and McNamara, The Black Sheep of Belogue, The Mongol Ace, Chinese Brady, Captain Babyface, Smoke Wade and others. Strap on your flying helmet, toss that scarf about your neck and get ready for some soaring action in the skies over France and Germany during the Great War. Dare-Devil Aces return in vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format. $2.99.

Weird Tales: The Unique Magazine
From March of 1923 to September of 1954, Weird Tales was the most influential of all pulp magazines in the horror and fantasy genres. Weird Tales has enjoyed a devoted following for many decades as the very first magazine of gothic fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. Founded in 1923, the pioneering publication introduced the world to such counter-culture icons as Cthulhu the alien monster god and Conan the Barbarian. Weird Tales is well known for launching the careers of great authors like H.P. Lovecraft, Ray Bradbury, and Robert E. Howard — even, Tennessee Williams made his first sale here! — not to mention legendary fantasy artists like Virgil Finlay and Margaret Brundage. The magazine’s influence extends through countless areas of pop culture: fiction, certainly, but also rock music, goth style, comic books, gaming… even Stephen King has called Weird Tales a major inspiration.
 
Weird Tales: The Modern Magazine
After the original magazine operation folded in 1954, there were several brief attempts to revive it — reprint anthologies in the ’60s, four new magazine issues in the ’70s, four original paperbacks in the early ’80s — before the resurrection finally achieved full-fledged afterlife under editor-publishers George H. Scithers, Darrell Schweitzer and John Gregory Betancourt. Beginning in 1988, Weird Tales has been published more or less continuously. These 25 year old magazines are Brand new and have never been read. Radio Archives is proud to have a large inventory so that everyone can have a copy of this great magazine. $9.95

I enjoyed the first volume of Fibber McGee and Molly's lost episodes. I have to say their format was an adjustment after being used to the regular half-hour episodes. Their serial storylines were interesting and I was struck by the fact that the shows were more...dramatic. Fibber and Molly seemed to have emotional reactions to the situations they found themselves in, which wasn't the case, from what I remember, in the half-hour programs. I already have volume 2, and forsee a time when I'll have all of the Fibber McGee & Molly collections.

Thanks for Strange Adventures. Excellent product!

I am continually blown away by the sound quality of your OTR releases. Just how do you achieve such amazing sound?
 
Are you working from the original acetates in most cases, as things like the Fibber & Molly short shows, the Let George Do It later episodes and Johnny Dollar, Big Show etc sound like first generation masters.
 
If so, I'm guessing you are physically scrubbing the dust from the grooves and using special weighted stylus in the tranfer?
 
I'm not asking for any secrets - I guess I'm just making an exclamation when I ask "How do you do it?".
 
RadioArchives.com is an amazing place. I'm always there. I buy downloads very regularly and listen to them all the time, every single day. I've almost neglected to listen anything but your product since discovering you. I also find the site very enjoyable - beautifully illustrated, intriguing write ups on each release etc.
 
The whole darn thing is just incredible! I'm currently being enthralled by "Strange Adventures" and the wonderful "Cocoanut Grove Ambassadors" sets - and inexplicably, in incredibly crisp sound - in NO way what one would expect from recordings made over 80 years ago!
 
I've thanked you before - and I'll keep thanking you again and again. You sure are appreciated!
