    A weekly [removed]

    For the best in OTR Chat, join IRC (Internet Relay Chat), StarLink-IRC
    Network, the channel name is #OldRadio.  We meet Thursdays at 8 PM Eastern
    and go on, and on! The oldest OTR Chat Channel, it has been in existence
    over nine years, same time, same channel! Started by Lois Culver, widow
    of actor Howard Culver, this is the place to be on Thursday night for
    real-time OTR talk!

    Our "regulars" include OTR actors, soundmen, collectors, listeners, and
    others interested in enjoying OTR from points all over the world. Discussions
    range from favorite shows to almost anything else under the sun (sometimes
    it's hard for us to stay on-topic)...but even if it isn't always focused,
    it's always a good time!

    For more info, contact charlie@[removed]. We hope to see you there, this
    week and every week!

    I have a boom box that plays mp3 - it has a timer so that i can set it and
    fall asleep.
    Unfortunately it has bitten the dust.  Can anybody recommend a  replacement
    model that will play  the low bit rate of most mp3.  Any  help would be
    appreciated.

    Hello folks,

    I know that many authors wrote under different names than their
    own for a myriad of reasons, but did radio script writers ever tend to do this
    at all? If so, why? Also, if someone did write a script under a pseudonymn
    would that name be on the script itself or would their real name be on the
    script (if at all)??

    Thanks

    M. Thomas

     From Those Were The Days -

    1/10

    1943   The quiz show, The Better Half, was first heard on Mutual this
    day. The program brought four married couples to compete in stunts
    involving traditional concepts of 'manhood' and 'womanhood'.

    1/11

    1947   Amazing Mr. Malone (aka Murder and Mr. Malone) starring Frank
    Lovejoy, debuted on ABC.

    1/12

    1926   Sam 'n' Henry debuted on WGN in Chicago, Illinois.  The show's
    name was changed to Amos 'n' Andy with the voices of its creators,
    Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll.

    1932   Ed Sullivan joined CBS radio in a program of gossip and interviews.

    1/13

    1906   Hugh Gernsback of the Electro Importing Company advertised radio
    receivers for sale for the low, low price of just $[removed] ($179 in 2010
    dollars) in Scientific American magazine. The first ad selling the
    gizmos guaranteed reception of about one mile.

    1910   Enrico Caruso and Emmy Destinn were heard via a telephone
    transmitter; rigged by DeForest Radio Telephone Company to broadcast
    from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City.

    1/14

    1927   Jack Benny married Sadye Marks on this day.

    1939   The program, Honolulu Bound, was heard on CBS. Phil Baker and the
    Andrews Sisters were featured on the program.

    Subject:  Radio stars on film

       The other day pursuing a free movie site I like I ran across two Jack
    Benny films, Charley's Aunt and George Washington Slept Here.  (IMHO I
    think GWSH is one of the best movies Benny made, other than To be or not
    to be, which is also on the site).
       And with the Sam and Henry anniversary they also have Amos and Andy's
    only feature length film, Check and Double Check.  (The print isn't that
    good).
       These are free and can be either streamed or downloaded.
