Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar: "Murder is a Merry-Go-Round"

"Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar" - both the title and the closing phrase in each episode of this well-loved CBS crime drama, which aired for 13 years. Can "America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator" crack this early case?

The Jack Benny Show: "Benny's Crosby Clambake"

Did Jack Benny ever have Bing Crosby and W.C. Fields both as guests on his long-running radio show? Not until Robert L. Mills, former comedy writer to Bob Hope, created this tribute show for us!

The Saint: "The Million Dollar Day"

The Saint - "the Robin Hood of modern crime" and star of scores of books, TV shows, movies, and a well-regarded radio show - is brought back to life in this lost 1945 episode, only the 4th-ever of the series.

The Six Shooter: "Britt Ponsett's Christmas Carol"

Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol" was transplanted to the Old West for a Christmas 1953 episode of the Jimmy Stewart radio western "The Six Shooter" and now in our charming recreation.

My True Story: "Mother's Little Witch"

"My True Story" compressed a whole soap opera storyline into about 45 minutes, five days a week for nearly 20 years starting in 1943. But only a dozen or so episodes survive, and this Audion recreation has not been heard since its original 1958 production.

The Whistler: "Man From the Morgue"

"The Whistler" mystery anthology series was a West Coast favorite for 13 years and over 700 episodes. "Man from the Morgue" from 1952 is, however, one episode that didn't survive and hasn't been heard until this Project Audion recreation.

September 3, 2021
The Bob and Ray Show

Project Audion salutes comic geniuses Bob Elliott & Ray Goulding with a recreation of the offbeat, deadpan humor they broadcast in the 1950s, with a collection of sketches both familiar and obscure.

August 21, 2021
Lights Out: "Little Old Lady"

From the classic supernatural radio show "Lights Out", a 1943 episode entitled "Little Old Lady." It's a ghostly story written and directed by the master of spooky stories, Arch Oboler. Made for closing your eyes and letting your imagination run wild.

August 6, 2021
Sherlock Holmes: "Murder in the Casbah"

Sherlock Holmes is such an iconic figure, so well suited for radio, that the detective was on the air for over 20 years. Project Audion recreates an episode from December 3, 1945 entitled "Murder in the Casbah" which was sponsored by Petri Wine.

July 2, 2021
The Jack Benny Show: "Jack Visits the DMV"

This 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. His script - "Jack Visits the DMV" - has the classic setups and style that sounds like a whole new episode from 1950!
