The Lineup: "The Scared Schoolmarm Scrape"

This episode from the police drama "The Lineup" hasn't been heard since January 1952. The Lineup was added to the CBS radio schedule after Dragnet became a massive hit, and ran for four years on radio.

Screen Guild Theatre: "The Ox-Bow Incident"

"The Ox-Bow Incident" was a best-selling book in 1940, a blockbuster Western movie in 1943, and adapted for the Screen Guild Theatre radio show no less than three times. Our recreation of this tale of men who turned into a mob was from 1952.

On Stage: "A Month of Sundays"

It may not be familiar to many people, but "On Stage" is well worth listening to. This episode, "A Month of Sundays," aired in August 1953 but no recording survives.

My Favorite Husband: "Baby Booties"

"My Favorite Husband" was the direct ancestor to "I Love Lucy," with many of the same situations and comedy - about "two people who live together and like it!" We feature THREE real-life couples in our cast.

Gunsmoke: "The Guitar"

Gunsmoke, one of the classic "adult Westerns", ran ten years on radio and an astounding 20+ years on television. This episode originally aired December 26, 1953 and was later remade as a TV episode. A simple man with an unexpected talent is taunted by town bullies with tragic results.

Columbia Workshop: "R.U.R."

Columbia Workshop was a laboratory for innovations in radio drama, unafraid to experiment with content and form. This script is based on the 1921 Carel Kapek play that more or less invented Robots. It's exciting, dramatic, and sentimental.

Arch Oboler's Plays: "Special to Hollywood"

Brilliant radio dramatist Arch Oboler wrote this play in 1941, but it is timeless and terrifyingly timely, a story of Hollywood elites completely out of touch with the suffering of ordinary people.

Suspense: "The Keenest Edge" & "Backstage Wife"

Project Audion's pilot episode, although a little rough around the aural edges, still offers exciting listening with this lost episode from the mystery show "Suspense." As a bonus, we also present a lost script from the soap opera "Mary Noble, Back Stage Wife."
