30:21
Israel and edited by Blake Edwards, with music by Eddie Dunnstetter. Featured in
30:25
tonight's cast were Herb Butterfield, Howard mcneer, Halmarch, Tony Barrett, however
30:30
Back, Sammy Hill, Virginia Greg and Bob Sweeney. The lineup was transcribed
30:33
in Hollywood by Hi Made Dolviyer. This is the CBS Radio Network, Welcome
31:07
back. Well, it was nice to see the lineup once again sponsored by
31:12
Wrigley Spearman at Chewing Gum regularly definitely played a big role in a lot of
31:18
these CBS shows of the early nineteen fifties, so a pretty strong relationship.
31:23
Of course. We also heard them sponsor yours truly, Johnny Doller. All
31:29
right, Well, just some listener comments and feedback. We begin with this
31:33
comment from Renee, who says love the show. This is regarding the episode
31:37
the Pitiful Patrick Side episode ten sixty ten sixty four. I think the Patrick
31:47
side referred to the title was the Virginia Great character. At the beginning of
31:51
the show, ms Weiss was starting as she was late, but things are
31:52
now that daddy is gone. The owner of the liquor store that was shot
31:57
was her father. I could kind of get that. The problem. The
32:02
problem is that a patracide. Technically it's not when somebody kills your father.
32:08
But I did double check this, meaning when it's when you kill your own
32:14
father. That the dictionary kind of backs me up on it. That's how
32:19
I understood it, which made it an odd title. I guess the thing
32:22
is that whoever wrote the titles for the lineup like to be clever, and
32:28
none of these actually went out on the show said okay, this is a
32:31
pitiful patracide. So it was just for internal use. But that was the
32:37
title. I can kind of see how it made a little bit of sense,
32:42
even if it wasn't quite precisely correct meaning. But she goes on,
32:45
she writes, I love your podcast and discovered a lot of new shows.
32:50
My thirteen year old son has loved listening to old time radio for a few
32:53
years. I introduced him to my favorite husband after he went through all the
32:57
seasons of I Love Lucy, and he listens to who that One and Father
33:00
knows best all the time. He loves dragging that Adam twelve and any of
33:05
the old time TV shows on reruns. We like to watch Perry Mason and
33:08
Ironside together again. Thanks for all of the work that you do to keep
33:15
the podcast going well. Thanks so much, Renee, and thank you for
33:19
passing on the enjoyment of Golden Age entertainment to the next generation. Received a
33:24
comment from Joel regarding the episode my post on old Time Radio. He says,
33:34
I'm also a fan of old time radio news broadcast, particularly CBS News
33:38
World News Today. I listened to the nightly broadcast from thirty eight thirty nine
33:45
leading up to World War Two. Great journalists giving live feeds via short waves
33:49
from world capitals. Hearing the day by day events, knowing what happened but
33:53
not the details from people who report it, not from hindsight but as a
33:59
new is an incredible way to understand history. Well, thanks so much,
34:04
Joel, and those can definitely be interesting. And I haven't listened to the
34:07
CBS News broadcast, but I frequently listened to a program called The Magic Key
34:15
from NBC, and they had a lot of live remotes in early episodes.
34:23
They liked the idea of just showing what they could do and just trying to
34:28
dazzle folks with radio. So they had I think a segment where they went
34:34
all the way around the world via remotes, and then they started getting to
34:37
newsmen in the field. I listened to one person and talk about Spanish Civil
34:44
War interview with Eleanor Roosevelt before World War Two on kind of her thoughts on
34:51
the whole situation, and really it's it's a great way I think to grab
34:58
hold of history some of these news broadcast and I'll probably be doing that.
35:01
I've got to get started on getting my war podcast, which I'd hope to
35:06
get out next month already, so we'll be looking forward to doing that shortly.
35:12
All right, Well, this will do it for today. We'll be
35:16
back on Monday with yours truly, Johnny Doller. Then join us back here
35:22
