Link Fixed

The link for the show of December 27th (O&H and Suspense) should work now.  I'd like to blame technical difficulties, but more likely than not user-error.

New Show - Ozzie and Harriet & Suspense

I hope Christmas was all you hoped it to be.  Here at the Old Time Radio Express, we had a nice Christmas, and avoided getting caught by too much weather.

Radio Brownsburg gave us 90 minutes on Sunday night, so we made the most of it with a look back at The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, and then a gripping Suspense story entitled "Too Little To Live On" starring the two stars of the first program, Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Hilliard (aka Harriet Nelson).

The range of these performers who are typecast as saccharine Americana is amazing to see.  Enjoy - we'll talk to you in 2010!

Cbristmas Bonus Episode!

What better way to share the Christmas spirit than to give you a little something extra this Sunday before Christmas.

Enjoy now a few extra tidbits about Lionel Barrymore and "A Christmas Carol" from the Campbell Playhouse that didn't make the cut on our December 20th Old Time Radio Express show.  I've also got for you a unique 30 minutes called "The Plot to Overthrow Christmas" on This is My Best - a Christmas tale told in verse and starring Ray Collins and Orson Welles, true radio heavyweights, literally and figuratively.  (Though to be fair, in 1944, Welles was not a literal heavyweight.  See the photo right of Welles in that same year in the movie, Jane Eyre.  Compare that with the below left photo of Welles from Touch of Evil in 1958).
