Hi Everyone,

Can someone let me know how i can receive the YUSA time-table (or schedule)
of shows? Is is monthly? Can i get it off the web? How much (if there's a
cost) and where do i send the payment (although i assume i would send it to
the address shown at the YUSA website)? Any help would be appreciated.

Dick Lupoff asked about current religious radio drama.  One of the most
famous and continuous running is "Unshackled" which began in 1950 and is
still produced by the Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago Ilinois.  They
still produce their weekly series before a live audeince, complete with
sound effects and organist.  I understand, however, that it is not all done
in one live take, as in the good old days.

  Andy Blatt requested contributions for 12 OTR tapes (1 hour each) that one
would take on a hypothetical visit to Mars in the future.
  It seems as if you're actually interested in our favorite episodes; but if
I were to take this trip to Mars, I would actually take along episodes,
selected at random, that I haven't listened to yet from the following series:
 Jack Benny Program, Suspense, Escape, Our Miss Brooks, Duffy's Tavern, The
Shadow, Burns & Allen, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, Amos 'n Andy, Life of
Riley, Fibber McGee & Molly, and X-Minus One (you'd have to take something
from this series!!! <g>).
  If we ignore the premise and take the spirit of your request into
consideration, then this would be the 12 tapes that would contain some of my
favorite OTR episodes.  You might recognize some of these from the 60
essential OTR shows I posted several months ago.
  Tape 1:  Amos 'n Andy: "Beautiful Baby Contest" (05/04/45)  / Amos 'n Andy:
"Lecture Bureau" (03/16/45)
  Tape 2: The Bickersons (best of, 1-hour)
  Tape 3: Burns and Allen: "H & R Blockhead" (02/26/50) / Baby Snooks:
"Halloween" (11/01/46)
  Tape 4: Dragnet: "The Big Try" (09/29/53) / Duffy's Tavern: "Literary
society meeting" (02/09/51)
  Tape 5: Escape: "Three Skeleton Key" (03/17/50) / Escape: "The Most
Dangerous Game" (10/01/47)
  Tape 6: Our Miss Brooks: "Poetry Mix-up" (03/20/49) / Mystery in the Air
(w/Peter Lorre): "The Marvelous Barastro" (08/07/47)
  Tape 7: Fibber McGee and Molly: "Special 15th Anniversary Show" (1 hour)
  Tape 8: Fred Allen: "King for a Day w/Jack Benny" (05/26/46) / The Shadow:
"Touch of Death" (05/19/46)
  Tape 9: Jack Benny Program: "The Fiddler" (10/20/46) / Jimmy Durante:
"Jimmy and Victor go to Ciro's" (02/18/48)
  Tape 10: Lights Out: "Bathysphere" / Inner Sanctum: "The Judas Clock"
(04/17/45)
  Tape 11: X Minus One: "Cold Equation" (08/25/55) / X Minus One: "Gun for
Dinosaur" (03/07/56)
  Tape 12: Suspense: "A Little Piece of Rope w/Lucille Ball" (10/14/48) /
"Vision of Death w/Ronald Coleman" (06/01/53)

For the weight of 12 cassettes you could have about 30
cd's.  Writeable cd units are now down in the $[removed]
range.  There are new formats that will hold 600 gigabytes
and over.  I'd take all the Fibber McGee and Molly shows
and the Great Gildersleve as well.  I'd probably have room
left for Suspence, Inner Sanctum, and Johney Doller or
the Whistler.  Besides, tapes can break.  If you are going
to Mars, you are not going economy class.  
I don't know why someone isn't transcribing all the good 
programs onto read only cd's now.  Their life expectancy
is a hundred years or more.  Tapes can go bad in 7 to 10.
Just about everybody has cd players now.  My 2 cents worth.

Message-Id: <[removed]@superior>

Your are so right.  Nothing is so constant as change.  But one can
track patterns in the changes.  Why?  Because (1) the human body is
full of very human limitations, and (2) culture is a temporal, as well
as a spatial phenomenon.  The same human body in different situations
appears to produce change, but can also be seen to repeat patterns.
So we can see oscillations back and forth between passivity and
activity, strictness and permissiveness -- that kind of thing.  Same
with entertainment.  We return to books on long trips, only now it is
talking books with Burt Renolds (sp?) reading to us instead of taking
turns reading aloud.

And one of the patterns that has effected our beloved OTR is the
conditioned ratio of the senses has changed since the Golden Days.
Anthropologists have shown that cultures vary in the relative
importance of the senses.  Some cultures are more auditory, some more
visual, some more tactile -- and so on.  We have become extremely
visual over the past decades.  Our kids are conditioned into a very
high stress visual adaptation.  But some of use didn't move quite that
far away from the auditory, while others of us did and then moved back
a bit.  But predictably, there will be a shift back into a kind of
balance with the alternative senses.  It is already happening really
with Soundblaster and other computer related auditory technologies.
We may just see a kind of rebirth, or rediscovery of the OTR material
in some as yet unfathomable format -- can you imagine computer
animated episodes of Bill Conrad's Gunsmoke?  Comander Cory and Cadet
Happy flying in Terra Five in virutal space?  The mind boggles!

My 12 tapes in this case would [removed]

1-5:The Fourth Tower Of Inverness
6-9:Ruby 2
 10:Midnight-"Sentimental Journey"/"Details, Details"
 11:Nightfall-"The Debt"/"The Porch Light"
 12:Nightfall-"Last Visit"/"Ringing The Changes"

My alternate would be "A Canticle For Leobowitz."  12 tapes 
wouldn't be enough! ;)

For me there would have to be some Gildersleeve too.  In addition to some
episodes of Dimension X.
