I have a request for this assembled group of OTR [removed] a number of
years I have been collecting examples of anesthesia in popular [removed]
anesthesia administration, anesthetic agents (ether, chloroform, nitrous
oxide, muscle relaxants such as curare, etc.) used as murder "weapons", etc.
etc., in films, fiction, tv programs, cartoons, music and so forth. I now
have several hundred examples and have begun to lecture and publish on the
topic. I would like to ask otr subscribers if they recall any such examples
from radio programs and could let me know (privately, please; this probably
won't interest many subscribers!)...I need as much information about the
program as you can give [removed] in advance for any [removed] hope one day
to assemble some of this material into some kind of multi-media presentation!

Steve Lewis wrote that the ILAM story "The Hermit of San Felipe Atavapo"
is available.  Does anyone know where? 

He also mentioned "The Million Dollar Curse".  Is this the same as "The 
Richard Curse"?

ILAM fans should know, of course, that Adventures in Cassettes is 
offering a new production of "The Fear that Creeps Like a Cat", based on 
the original script, as well as a video of the 1945 ILAM movie "The 
Decapitation of Jefferson Monk".

In OTR transcriptions were in fact recordings. The full name was Electrical
Transcriptions, or "ET."
Many programs were recorded, especially those shows that were syndicated.

As I understand it, FCC regulations required that programs that were not
broadcast live had to be identified as having been recorded. Since the producers
didn't want the audiences to know the show was recorded, often the first thing
heard would be the word "transcribed" thrown away, that is, said quietly and
fast, followed by the show's opening at a loud level and frenetic pace. When you
listen to OTR today, listen for the ways "transcribed" is barely heard!

Greetings to all readers!

Just as a point of information, AMC will be starting the next 24
episodes of REMEMBER WENN on June 1. There will be 5 episodes
broadcast in June with the remainder throughout the Summer. The
program will be broadcast on Saturdays at 8 PM CST and repeated the
following Wednesday at 8 PM CST. There will be one chapter each week,
so if you miss it on Saturday, you can get it the next Wednesday. The
first four of the series were shown earlier this year with a four week
repeat this month. The episode on June 1st will be number 5 in the
series. 

I hope that you all tune in if you liked the first four in the
series.

WHEW! Thought for a minute there that you had turned up an ILAM series that I
missed despite going over the SPERDVAC index with a fine tooth comb to get them
all out. But unless I am seriously mistaken, "Stairway to the Sun" exists in
the SPERDVAC collection only as a script, not as a recording. Same for "Murder
is the Word for it". As far as I know, neither series is in circulation.

i've  been reading about ilam,
i do not think it's ever been put to rest
one way or another about the discs,stories ran
rampent 25yrs ago as to where the discs are,
also at one time someone came up with them
and asked $1000 for same,well a few collectors
got together and offered the person the money
they asked,and you know they never heard from that
person [removed] last i heard,that copies do
survive but in [removed] as recent as
a few years ago.

Subject: BLACK MUSEUM broadcast dates?
Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

Does a full or partial log of BLACK MUSEUM airdates exist, either for the
original European or the Mutual run?

Now that I'm finally databasing my OTR and Old TV tapes, I'd love to be able
to print out chronological lists.  So I'm trying to eliminate as many "ca."
dates as possible.

>Was it actually in Luxembourg, or was it the fanciful name
of a UK outlet?  

It was (and still is) definitely in Luxembourg. Because commercial 
(sponsored) broadcasting was not allowed in Britain before the war, 
advertisers bought time on several stations on the Continent of Europe. 
Radio Luxembourg was the biggest in this respect, but there were others, 
such as Radio Normandy, Radio Lyons, Poste Parisen, etc. This activity 
ceased with the onset of WW2. After the war, Luxembourg was the only one 
to resume broadcasts to Britain, although starting in the 1960s we had a 
number of offshore, ship-based commercial radio stations.
