    PROJECT AUDION 80 – Death of a Salesman

    PROJECT AUDION 80 – LUX Radio Theatre (Australia): Death of a Salesman Death of a Salesman is one of the classic America plays: the first to win both the Tony Award for Best Author, the New York Drama Circle Critics' Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Arthur Miller's intense family drama might have seemed promising material for a prestige radio adaptation, but perhaps it was too intense for American radio networks. However, Australia's radio stations had no such nervousness. The Down-Under edition of Lux Radio Theatre presented their adaptation on January 29, 1956, using two of the lead actors who originally premiered it in Australia. Now, even as a new production arrives on Broadway, Audion brings forth the Lux adaptation for Project Audion's virtual airwaves: a story of the American Dream gone wrong, and the devastating effects it has on Willy Loman and his family. Still vital, after all these decades. Our big, widespread cast: Les Marsden (Willy) in California Laura Mirsky (Linda) in New Jersey Pete Lutz (Biff) in Texas Dana Gonsalves (Hap) in Texas Paul Arbisi (Charley) in Illinois Nick Wommack (Bernard/Lux Spokesman) in Texas Rhiannon McAfee (Lux Spokeswoman/Mai Zetterling) in California Patte Rosebank (Narrator/Miss Frances) in Toronto, Canada David Ian (Howard/Paul Jacklin) in Oregon Tom Konkle (Announcer) in California Original music was by Ross Bernhardt Transcribed and Directed by Pete Lutz Production was supervised by Larry Groebe (who also played Stanley)

    OLD-TIME RADIO ESSENTIALS Ep 58 – The Mysterious Traveler OTR-E returns with episode 58, and due to a scheduling problem, this time it's Pete's selection again, and he's bringing us an episode of The Mysterious Traveler, entitled "The Woman in Black".

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-eighth number (but 9th official episode of S5), this thrilling installment of The Mysterious Traveler, from 1947. 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 themoonlightaudiopodcast@gmail.com .

    OLD-TIME RADIO ESSENTIALS episode 56, part 2: You Bet Your Life

    OLD-TIME RADIO ESSENTIALS episode 56, part 2: We conclude this special, extended, two-part episode! Special guest John Tefteller is armed with more terrific stories about Groucho Marx and his zany brothers, plus we learn how John himself started working for Groucho at the tender age of 15! (Part 1 was last week, in case you missed it.) SPECIAL NOTE: At the behest of Mr. T, we've removed a special announcement about the release of some "new" Marxian material, so you'll hear a 5-second gap at that point. Don't turn away, just wait 5 seconds and the show will continue!

    OLD-TIME RADIO ESSENTIALS Ep 55.5 - 10th Anniversary of Mickey Mouse

    OLD-TIME RADIO ESSENTIALS Ep 55.5 -- 10th Anniversary of Mickey Mouse Co-hosts Pete, Paul and Patte divert from their usual format to bring you this diversion -- a standalone production from 1938 that honors Walt Disney on the 10th anniversary of the very first Mickey Mouse cartoon. Discovered by OTR aficionado John Tefteller in his vast collection of acetate (and other) recordings, he released it on Thanksgiving Day 2025 on his own podcast, The Good Old Days of Radio, thus letting listeners hear it for the first time (probably) since its first release 88 years ago. Mr. Tefteller has graciously allowed us to re-re-release it, since our listeners and his likely follow parallel lines, thus allowing more folks to enjoy it. The three co-hosts are not judging it by their usual criteria (see previous episodes), merely bringing it to you for your entertainment.  If you like OTR Essentials and have a suggestion for a future series we should discuss, please write us at our NEW email address: themoonlightaudiopodcast@gmail.com! If we take your suggestion, you'll be eligible for some cool Narada and Moonlight swag.
