WFMU: Dimestore Radio Theater with Austin Rich: Playlist from May 6, 2024

Listener comments!
	👻 7:11pm Austin Rich: Good Hello
	8:54pm Imaginos: The last Bold Venture?! Aaaaargh!!!
	👻 9:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:54 It's true. Soak it in! Enjoy it while you can!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Angela Mullins"" by "Rogue's Gallery" This one is a little crackly. I did my best to clean it up, but... it is what it is.
	9:01pm Imaginos: I have to admit the first time I heard the ad I thought it was "bitch" shampoo.
	👻 9:01pm yerfriendpaul: Hey Austin, everyone!
	9:02pm Imaginos: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:01 Ahoy!
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:01 yerfriendpaul! Thanks for tuning in.
	9:03pm Charles: This one's gonna sting.
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:03 It's true. But the good thing about Bold Venture is that they are very easy to re-listen to, as often as you like.
	9:04pm Charles: I even marked on my calendar that the last Bold Venture was today ahah
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: One of the challenges of Old Time Radio Shows is trying to find accurate information. In the case of "Rogue's Gallery," we don't have recordings of all the shows, there's a couple different sources for "complete sets" of existing shows, and it is hard to know which ones have accurately labeled titles, too. (I have found many shows that are actually duplicates of other shows, but labeled as something else.) This is a long way of saying: I have had to "triangulate" the truth when it comes to this show, and finding all the "existing" episodes. the "tl;dr" version: Replaying this show "in-order" is going to be a challenge.
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: I do wish there were more detective / noir stories with "feisty old ladies" instead of just femme fatals. It would be nice to shake it up once in a while.
	👻 9:08pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Imaginos @9:02 Hey Imaginos!
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:01 Sometimes, it is hard to "enunciate" properly, with more than a few product names.
	9:12pm Webhamster Henry: Hi rogues! I'm back from rehearsal!
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:12 Thanks for joining us Webhamster Henry! Sit down and stay a spell.
	9:13pm Imaginos: Nice pronunciation for autopsy
	9:14pm Imaginos: I think she was scared to death
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:14 It's certainly possible.
	9:15pm Webhamster Henry: Ahh just in time for the little imp!
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:15 Everyone loves Eugor!
	👻 9:16pm yerfriendpaul: Hey isn’t that the same crazy laugh as that crazy living doll from a couple weeks ago?
	9:17pm Imaginos: Sugar sounds like the ventriloquist dummy in The Dead of Night
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: That same voice and laugh is in every episode of "Rogue's Gallery."
	9:17pm Imaginos: ↳ Imaginos @9:17 Eugor.
	9:21pm Charles: Sugar is a great name for an alter-ego
	9:22pm Charles: Ragus' Gallery
	9:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Charles @9:21 True
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:22 Ha! I love it.
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: "...melts my iron will to sugar..." Hey!
	9:23pm Imaginos: John McGuire played the dummy "Hugo Fitch"
	9:26pm Webhamster Henry: Kingston is famous for its murder dentist: www.aetv.com...
	9:27pm Webhamster Henry: BTW, I've been listening to lots of X-1s, as usual, and it turns out that a lot of the Galaxy magazines (if not all of them) are also in Archive.org so you can read the original stories (and a lot more).
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: More information about, "Johnny O'Clock": en.wikipedia.org...
	9:28pm Imaginos: I wish they did a radio series based on the Continental Operative
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:27 I've been meaning to check those out! I think someone else mentioned that, too.
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Señor Rufio's Legacy of Death"" by "Bold Venture" This is not only the last episode of "Bold Venture," but the sound is terrible, and the theme song (and a few other transitional cues) are completely missing. I've done my best to "stitch" together a couple different episodes, to fill in the missing cues. I also did a little EQ, to try and improve the overall sound, which is not a good as in other episodes. Sorry everyone! It is what it is...
	9:30pm asheville jon: Toodeloooo Bold Venture :(
	👻 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ asheville jon @9:30 Asheville Jon! Even good things come to an end... eventually...
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:28 I think there's a few stories here and there. But I don't think there was ever a regular radio show.
	9:33pm asheville jon: So many dead people, so little time
	9:35pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:32 Its public domain so nothing is stopping the right people
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: There was a part of me, early in this project, where I thought about trying to actually do as much "remastering" as possible, to improve these shows as much as I could. But not only is that not sustainable, but it is a project for someone with more free time that I have. I would love to get nerdy about some of my favorite shows, and create some "superior" sounding versions. But where would I find the time or money?
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:35 That is true!
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ asheville jon @9:33 I had a lot of plans to start keeping a "body count" on Dimestore Radio Theater. But that is also an unsustainable idea.
	9:39pm Charles: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 ahahah
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: This show is incomplete, and we don't have every episode of "Bold Venture." So we don't know if this is actually the last episode, or merely the last one that has been "found." Most sources do list this as the last, and it most likely is. Until new information is uncovered.
	9:42pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 Infinity-one, Infinity-two...
	👻 9:42pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 You would need a production assistant to be assigned to a task like that.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:42 Seriously! I would love that kind of help, but I can't really pay anyone, that is a pretty thankless job to do for free.
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: I think most people agree that there COULD be 79 episodes, according to available outside sources. Currently, there are 57 episodes that are easily available to most people. Rumor has it that there is a group that has found all 79 episodes, but until I can order them from somewhere, I'm not sure I buy that rumor. Still... I want to believe.
	9:53pm Imaginos: That was weird
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: Whoops! I think we had a stream interruption. Sorry about that!
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: I will make sure a pristine version of this episode is posted to the archive after the show.
	9:54pm Webhamster Henry: That Quipping Couple Coffee tastes awful.
	👻 9:56pm yerfriendpaul: Hopefully Bogey and Sailor got outta Havana and found a less murder-y place to spend their golden years
	9:56pm Webhamster Henry: In the real finale Candy Matson blasts them both while on her Havan Honeymoon.
	9:57pm Imaginos: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:56 Perhaps Trinidad?
	9:57pm Charles: ↳ Austin Rich @9:43 Thank you Austin for all the Adenture, Intrigue, Mystery, Romance!
	9:57pm Webhamster Henry: Looking forward to the King Moses spinoff show.
	👻 9:57pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Imaginos @9:57 Sure! Why not?!
	9:58pm Charles: YES! Thanks for the Boooooold Venture
	👻 10:01pm yerfriendpaul: Ahh yes! I forgot that he was a character on the show ha ha
	10:01pm asheville jon: Howdy again
	👻 10:03pm Heather Z: Maybe someone could get college credit for acting as your PA for a semester? Also, hi everyone!
	10:04pm Imaginos: youtu.be...
	10:08pm Webhamster Henry: There's a troupe here that does live radio shows onstage, I don't know how much research they do. Of course, doing Firesign Theatre scripts would be extra fun!
	10:08pm Imaginos: I'm hoping that we can finish and air Lost Christobel
	10:10pm Webhamster Henry: I do have the the FST Big Book of Plays about 3 feet from me.
	10:10pm Imaginos: www.genericradio.com... Here's some off scripts
	10:12pm Imaginos: Should we have incidental music for Lost Christobel?
	10:14pm Imaginos: Always a joy
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:10 Looks like they have a few Candy Matsons! Not new ones. (I think we've heard all the ones they have scripts for.) But maybe someday, we could act those out. That would be fun to try and do live.
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: Like now, radio in the 1920's is sort of the "streaming alternative" to buying and owning albums.
	10:19pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:17 37 for X-Minus One
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: There are a shocking number of old, vintage Sports recordings available as "Old Time Radio." I have listened to one, from 1939. (I was curious.) It wasn't that interesting... but it does give you a sense that baseball on the radio has pretty much always sounded the same.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:19 I saw that! Fortunately, X-Minus one exists in it's entirety, as I understand it, so there are no missing episodes. But it would be fun to do an X-Minus One episode, too.
	10:20pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy. Looking forward to tomorrow night
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: While I have found a LOT of religious Old Time Radio shows in doing research, I have never actually listened to any, not even really old ones. I have a feeling I know what they will sound like.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:20 Sleep well!
	10:21pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 Thank you
	10:26pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 Some of their scripts were recycled in 2000x, hosted by Harlan Ellison I think: archive.org...
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:26 I have thought about having that series follow "X-Minus One" for that very reason! (And: I've never listened to that whole series, just occasional episodes.)
	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: I have probably mentioned this before, but I have debated weather to continue airing Sci-Fi in that final slot every week, OR if I should switch to Horror at some point. (I do like the idea of ending with a creepy story every week.) It's be a while before I'm done with X-Minus One, so I don't have to decide right away.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: We're gonna go about 7 Minutes over this week. Sorry everyone!
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Tunnel Under The World"" by "X-Minus One" This story is terrifying.
	👻 10:48pm David Shortell: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:10 That and its sequel, "The Firesign Theatre's Big Mystery Joke Book", were a huge help to me in understanding their albums.
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:48 Nice to see you in the chat! I feel like I'm still "disentangling" Firesign riffs, years later.
	👻 10:53pm Heather: I have to admit, I might not mind if someone installed a bunch of copper in my house and shored the joint up a bit.
	10:54pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 My favorites are their Joycean word substitution jokes.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: This might be the scariest episode of X-Minus One so far.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:54 There's so much more going on with their records than you think you're hearing the first time through.
	👻 10:57pm yerfriendpaul: This is great!
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: I'm trying to imagine hearing this story, late at night, on the radio, back in 1956. I can't imagine what listeners thought.
	👻 10:57pm David Shortell: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:26 Robin Williams acts in that '"Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman' play. He was apparently a friend of Harlan's, as seen in the documentary "Dreams With Sharp Teeth".
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:57 Robin Williams shows up in the most unlikely of places. That's part of his charm. I have a photo of me wearing "Mork From Ork" suspenders when I was a child. He had his moments.
	👻 11:02pm Austin Rich: "None of them knew! None of them knew! That they... were... ro... bots!"
	👻 11:04pm Austin Rich: "Useless! Useless! Useless!"
	👻 11:06pm David Shortell: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:08 I saw this troupe perform two Damon Runyon plays two weekends ago at the Cross of Glory Lutheran Church in Aberdeen. classicradioroadshow.org
	👻 11:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @11:06 Oh, wow! I do love those Damon Runyon Theater shows. They are VERY good. How cool!
	👻 11:07pm Austin Rich: And, that, to me, is one of the most terrifying "X-Minus One" episodes.
	👻 11:07pm yerfriendpaul: Fantastic!
	👻 11:08pm WR: A Frederick Pohl story. Cool. Thank you! Austin!
	👻 11:08pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks Austin!
	👻 11:08pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone!
	👻 7:12pm WR: ↳ Song: ""Tunnel Under The World"" by "X-Minus One" The Frederick Pohl story that this X-Minus One was based on: en.wikipedia.org...

	👻 10:53pm Heather: I have to admit, I might not mind if someone installed a bunch of copper in my house and shored the joint up a bit.
	10:54pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 My favorites are their Joycean word substitution jokes.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: This might be the scariest episode of X-Minus One so far.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:54 There's so much more going on with their records than you think you're hearing the first time through.
	👻 10:57pm yerfriendpaul: This is great!
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: I'm trying to imagine hearing this story, late at night, on the radio, back in 1956. I can't imagine what listeners thought.
	👻 10:57pm David Shortell: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:26 Robin Williams acts in that '"Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman' play. He was apparently a friend of Harlan's, as seen in the documentary "Dreams With Sharp Teeth".
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:57 Robin Williams shows up in the most unlikely of places. That's part of his charm. I have a photo of me wearing "Mork From Ork" suspenders when I was a child. He had his moments.

	👻 11:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @11:06 Oh, wow! I do love those Damon Runyon Theater shows. They are VERY good. How cool!
	👻 11:07pm Austin Rich: And, that, to me, is one of the most terrifying "X-Minus One" episodes.
	👻 11:07pm yerfriendpaul: Fantastic!
	👻 11:08pm WR: A Frederick Pohl story. Cool. Thank you! Austin!
	👻 11:08pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks Austin!
	👻 11:08pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone!
