As we do each year, Re-Imagined Radio samples Christmas episodes from a variety of radio programs. This year's "A Radio Christmas Sampler, Vol. 5" samples three interesting Christmas programs. First, a Christmas 1942 wartime message from Edward R. Murrow who encourages us to keep hope alive. Second "Christmas Party for Hubert Smith," an episode of Truth or Consequences where radio connects a wounded Navy sailor in California with his family and hometown in Tennessee. And third, "The Plot to Overthrow Christmas" by Irwin Corwin, told in rhyming verse, from Columbia Workshop. Enjoy listening.

Project Audion Episode 21: Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes is such an iconic figure, and so well suited for radio, that the detective was on the air for over 20 years (starting in 1930) and portrayed by a half dozen actors. None were better than Nigel Bruce and Basil Rathbone, who owned the roles from 1939-1946. Project Audion recreates an episode from December 3, 1945 entitled "Murder in the Casbah" which was sponsored by Petri Wine. Audion's transcribed-live edition features a cast of voice actors performing from England, Hollywood, and multiple locations in between. Holmes: David Ault, UK Watson: Paul Arbisi, IL Announcer: Lec Zorn, IN Miss Tretfield: M J Cogburn, TX Col. de Brisson: Trevor Rines, CA Rafi: Jacob Palka, IL Leaming/Commissioner: Joe Mendell, UK Ayisha: Grace Wagner, IL Milton: John Mauldin, TN Waiter/ Dr. Porter: Robert Mills, CA ...and produced and directed by Larry Groebe in Texas

Project Audion Episode 20: Jack Benny
Project Audion's latest episode is a recreation of a Jack Benny show you've never heard before - because it was written just for Audion by Bob Hope staff writer Robert L. Mills. Robert learned the comedy craft by listening to Benny's shows as a boy, and his script - "Jack Visits the DMV" - has the classic setups and style that made the original Benny shows so funny. It's like a whole new episode from 1950! Thanks to our talented transcontinental cast and crew, it sounds like a vintage episode too. We have some terrific voices stepping into the shoes of the original Jack Benny players -- Jack Benny: Geoffrey Mark, CA Don Wilson: Ken Jeffries, CA Rochester: Lee J. Greene, NE Dennis Day/Frank Nelson: Bob Beaumont, CA Mary Livingstone/Bus Guide: Denise Cline, KY Phil Harris: Norman Cline, KY Ed the Vault Guard: Harry Middlebrooks, CA Mr Kitzel/Racetrack Tout: Duane Noch, NJ Butler & Cop: Stanley Dyrector, CA Stu: Robert L. Mills, CA ...with Ken Raney handling sound effects and the production managed by Larry Groebe.

Project Audion Episode 19: On Stage- Interlude
We have another visit with Larry Groebe and Project Audion with "On Stage," the early 50s anthology series created by (and for) Elliott and Cathy Lewis. Patte Rosebank and Tim Burns return to the microphones, joined by Trevor Rines, for this half-hour drama of two lost adults who find each other one night, and how it changed their lives. The writing is believable, and the performances, excellent. Not your normal old-time-radio show, this is well worth your time...

Project Audion Episode 17: "Fibber McGee & Molly"
Larry Groebe returns with the season finale of Project Audion with a special show indeed - a NEW episode of Fibber McGee and Molly, written in tribute to this classic OTR comedy by one of Bob Hope's own comedy writers, Robert L. Mills. "Fibber's Missing Tux" is one you'll want to hear, as Mr. Mills packed his script full of Old Time Radio references (and some more recent pop culture as well), visits from some of the McGee's famous neighbors, and yes, Fibber manages to open that old overstuffed hall closet door - probably the most famous sound effect in all of old time radio. We have a sterling cast which mixes Project Audion regulars with newcomers to the group. But wait! There's more! Before "Fibber" takes the air, I'll talk with Mr. Mills in Hollywood about his OTR memories and his decades working for Bob Hope. And the whole production is introduced by Audion veteran Paul Arbisi from Peoria Illinois, hometown of Fibber's husband-and-wife stars Jim and Marian Jordan.
