"Mystery in the Radio Waves" is a podcast where a cast of actors and comedians perform a classic radio play and then improvise jokes, characters, and stories. What the fuck are radio plays and where do they come from? Well...The Golden Age of Radio was an era of radio in the U.S. in the 1920's to the 1960's where the main source of entertainment was radio programming before people owned televisions on a larger scale. The programs would have the same range as tv shows today. There were weekly medical dramas, romances, mysteries, true crime, etc. It's such an interesting part of entertainment history that we hope to revive a little on this podcast. Just the great storytelling, not the racist/sexist shit. The host Elizabeth McIrvin, casts actors and comedians from all over Los Angeles to showcase the talents of people all over the city.

E73. "don't cancel us, it's the last episode!"
It's been such a pleasure to have been producing this podcast since 2018. This has been the sole project that helped me learn editing, acting, improv, confidence and how to let go. I hope you enjoy the last episode of Mystery in the Radio Waves. -Liz xoxo

"Welcome to Mystery in the Radio Waves. I’m your host Elizabeth McIrvin. This podcast takes classic radio plays from the 1920’s to the 1970’s and revives them with comedic parodies. What the f-ck are radio plays and where do they come from? Well, before the golden age of television there was radio. They had similar programs to what we see today, medical dramas, police procedurals, rom coms, sci fi, etc. And in the classic tradition of Hollywood, we’re taking some old shit and making it better. Please sit back, take a sip of your old fashioned, a hit of your pipe, clothes your eyes and let us take you back to another time…"

Customer Reviews
Podcast Revived the Radio Star
Real radio plays may only be left in the memory of your grandparents, but this podcast revives them to be read by actors and then improvisers do a parody of the radio plays. It's an interesting concept executed by funny comedians and you should give it a listen.
BLAST of a show!
This show is an absolute treat. Fun from beginning to end, with built-in texture from the contrast between Radio Play and Improv. Highly recommend!
Nothing else quite like it
This is a dope podcast that is first and foremost very funny. Elizabeth skillfully leads a rotating group of wild and sharp up and coming comedians.
The format of the show also allows a nice window into history without ever feeling like homework.
I wouldn’t think I’d be into listening to old radio plays, but performed by funny people with just a little bit of irony, the whole thing comes alive.
Big fan of this podcast!
