AFRS # 34 (not to be confused with the 34th network  broadcast): Rex
Scranner is after a fellow named Rackman (because of some stolen
Amplitron)

I've just consulted "Major Chuck's Space Patrol Radio Episode Log,"
which appears as Appendix B to Jean-Noel Bassoir's excellent book,
"Space Patrol: Missions of Daring in the Name of Early Television."
This episode appears to be "Treachery in Outer Space," aired 5/23/53.
 Scranner is played by Ken Mayer and Rackman by Bela Kovacs.

AFRS #97 (Could this be "Formula for Crime" aired  8-21-1954?)
Gant Conlin steals Formula G-3K (developed by young female  researcher
Martis Randall) because, under it's  influence, people will  perform
actions against their better judgment.

That's what it sounds like.  According to the log, the names are
Marta Crandall, played by Virginia Hewett, and Gant Carman, played by
Ken Mayer.

AFRS #98:  When a half million credits are offered for  information
leading to the identification and discovery of Terrana, Milton Kroy
is fed false information to mislead our heroes in the Space Patrol.

This sounds like "Design for Disaster," aired 9/11/54.  It's the
first of three episodes involving an attempted invasion and
infiltration from Terrana.  None of the episode descriptions in the
log stand out as fitting your description, but this looks the most
likely of the three.  None of them mention a character called "Milton
Kroy."  This is the next episode in the log after "Formula for
Crime," suggesting that the show may have had a hiatus of a couple of
weeks.  Since your AFRS number is also the next after "Formula for
Crime," that tends to confirm my thinking that this is the one.

Special thanks to my friend Derek Tague for clearing up the Wally Cox radio
show info for me.  As webmaster of a site devoted to the old "Hollywood
Squares" show, I have a page each devoted to most of the regulars.  My Wally
Cox page
mentioned his early adventures in TV--including the classic "Mr. Peepers" and
the apparently disastrous "Hiram Holiday"--but I certainly didn't want a
radio show to get by me like Cliff Arquette's appearances on "Fibber McGee and
Molly" did.

Take care and Happy Holidays,

Subject:  MET OPERA INTEREST

   With the Metropolitan Opera Company celebrating some 75 Years of the
opera being broadcast I confess a renewed interest in adding to my modest
collection of opera broadcasts. Alas I only have 28 (all from the mid to
late 1930's to the early 1940's. These are generally complete broadcasts,
not commercial recordings.
     I also have about 22 broadcasts of the MET AUDITIONS OF THE AIR (most
ON CD's)(while the operas are all on open reel).
     If there happen to be any other Digesters out there with strange
tastes who have opera broadcasts (or other broadcasts of serious music) I
invite them to contact me directly and perhaps we can work out some exchange.

Subject:  Suspense Show Synopsis

I'm looking for a website that would list not only the Suspense episode
title name, but one that would also give a synopsis of what that particular
show is about.

Thank you!

Merry Christmas to all!

Subject:  James Sample

Can anyone help?

- --
Hello;  I'm seeking any old radio shows, concerts which my Father did in  the
30s & 40s primarily: James Sample, Conductor. Among other things he did  was
to work with KFI from 1945-1949, and also probably the early 1940s etc. He
did the first NBC west coast live radio broadcasts before there was a
national
NBC. He did these from LA, CA as well a bit later with the Portland Symphony
Orchestra (OR) from 1949-1953. He conducted symphony and opera through the
1980s!

We know these were done on wax platters & that they were all tossed  out.
However, there may be some that survived as copy recordings. These are to  go
to
the UN of MN where Dad has a Fellowship-Conductorship in his name.

Thank you for any info or other leads you can give! Most sincerely, Sigrid
Piroch <SigridArtsStudio@[removed];
