Two great special resources and a new sponsor

 Yeah, I know.  Been far too busy to write an update.  


I've found two great resources for our friends.  One of which is for a show we don't air.


First, I want to salute our friends at The Suspense Project who have done an amazing job of restoring and finding the best possible versions of the twenty-year run of great shows.  You'll also see lots of great information on each of the shows, and a link to Keith Scott's Suspense log.  (Of course, you can link to that log by clicking here!)   They've provided me with some great upgraded information and programs! 


Second, before the CBS Radio Mystery Theater came around, ABC made a serious effort called Theater 5 (Or as I always saw it stylized Theater 5ive).  The existing collections are all pretty lousy except for the collection from the Theater 5 ProjectAt this link you'll find all available episodes of the series, many in better quality than they've ever been.  Plus there's also a full log and background of the series at this link.  While most of the better-known New York actors starred - Ralph Bell, George Petrie, Bob Dryden, and Joan Lorring, some well-known (well, today) Hollywood stars like  James Earl Jones, Elaine May, Conrad Nagel, Barbara Britton, Alan Alda, Ed Begley, Wendie Barrie, Melville Ruick, Arlene Francis and Martin Gabel made appearances.  Even Yankees broadcaster Mel Allen made an appearance.  

But despite all of ABC's best efforts, the half hour (actually about 23 minute) series didn't make it past a year and only ran on about 90 stations at it's peak.  Click over and give it a listen.  



Now, our new sponsor.  Professor Bee's Digestive Aid.  It unites pure honey with ancient Roman Apithera to naturally balance your digestion. Experience timeless relief in every spoonful!  Check it out at https://profbees.com  and use promo code WYATT at checkout to save 10%.  What have you got to lose...but belly pain? 


All The Best!

Well, I'm still here...

After taking a month off, I'm back doing podcasts on a daily basis, using much of the same format that I used to. 

Not having to edit the program to fit the requirements for Over-The-Air radio makes it much easier. I hope you enjoy it. 

You can always  find our podcasts going back to the start of last year right here:

https://www.spreaker.com/show/classic-radio-theater-with-wyatt-cox

Or on your favorite podcast app on your phone.  If you don't HAVE a podcast app, download the Spreaker app for Apple or Android by clicking here. 

And as always, All The Best!
