D-Day Radio Stories

D-Day Radio Stories A documentary sound collage Re-Imagined Radio combines multiple "eye witness" radio news reports for this part documentary, part sound collage of stories about D-Day, the invasion of Europe by Allied military forces to repel German invaders and end World War II, June 6, 1944. "D-Day Radio Stories" provides a different storyline for this World War II turning point, and we hope, a worthy tribute to the Allied invading forces and those correspondents who went with them to tell the rest of us what they see and hear.

Barber  Sound Design, Original Music Composition, and Post Production by Marc Rose  Promotional Graphics by Holly Slocum with Evan Leyden  Social Media and Announcing by Rylan Eisenhauer Audio file name: rir-d-day-radio-stories.mp3 More information at our website, https://www.reimaginedradio.fm/episodes/d-day/index.html

Frank Lovejoy Tribute

Frank Lovejoy Tribute A dependable, productive voice actor   From the 1930s to the 1950s, the golden years of radio drama, Frank Andrew Lovejoy (1912-1962) was a dependable and productive radio voice actor. But, despite his appearances on MANY radio programs in his career, Frank Lovejoy is not well know today. With this episode, Re-Imagined Radio seeks to elevate Lovejoy's status. We sample from four radio programs where Lovejoy enjoyed continuing, and/or starring roles: The Blue Beetle, This is Your FBI, Murder and Mr. Malone, and Night Beat for our "Frank Lovejoy Tribute." Thanks for listening.   Season 13, Episode 05 Released: May 19, 2025 Written, Produced, and Hosted by John F.

Chaste Kiss & Chrysalis

This episode of Re-Imagined Radio is "Chaste Kiss & Chrysalis." Part of our Guest Producer/Writer Series, it samples two audio dramas by award-winning Canadian writer, producer, and director Jack Jamie Ward. February is the month of love, and Valentine's Day. Both of Ward's audio dramas are edgy love stories in the style of Golden Age of Radio science fiction. "A Chaste Kiss Goodbye" considers love between humans and purpose-built companion robots. Ward's "Chrysalis" is a revisioning of the classic audio drama "The War of the Worlds" as a layered love story, for aliens, humans, and machines.

The Lives of Harry Lime

The Lives of Harry Lime Imaginative crimes and misadventures Premiere broadcast: 20 January 2025 Season 13, Episode 01 Re-Imagined Radio samples the first and last episodes of The Lives of Harry Lime (syndicated United States broadcasts 1951-1952. Elsewhere titled The Adventures of Harry Lime). Both episodes star Orson Welles (of "The War of the Worlds" fame) as Harry Lime and the narrator. In "Too Many Crooks" (Episode 01, 3 August 1951) Harry gets mixed up with a bank robbery attempt in Budapest where each member of the gang tries to out-double cross the other. In "Greek Meets Greek" (Episode 52, 25 July 1952) Harry, while in Greece, contends with the measles, a dead body, and a mysterious woman with a gun claiming someone is trying to kill her. Her story, however, does not make sense. From our OTR (Old Time Radio) series. Credits Written, Produced, and Hosted by John F. Barber Sound Design, Original Music Production, and Post Production by Marc Rose Promotional Graphics by Holly Slocum and Evan Leyden Social Media by Rylan Eisenhauer More Information For more information, visit our archival website, https://www.reimaginedradio.fm/episodes/harry-lime/index.html
