    Subject:  Norman Corwin, A Plot to Overthrow Christmas

    If you're in southern California and within the reach of our PBS station
    KCET, channel 28, here's some information.

    Last night I watched an interview with Norman Corwin which included a 1969
    table read and broadcast of "The Plot to Overthrow
    Christmas." For radio fans this is a must-see! I've checked and it will
    be repeated on Sunday Afternoon, May 23 at 1 pm. The cast includes
    Parley Baer, Jeanette Nolan, Karl Swenson, John McIntyre, Alan Reed
    Sr., Byron Kane, Jerry Hausner, Steve Franken, with Ray Erlenborn doing
    live sound effects. And it's fun to watch Norman Corwin directing and
    throwing cues.

    I don't know if other PBS stations will show it or not. Check your local
    schedules. I definitely recommend it!

    [ADMINISTRIVIA: Based on a hasty web search, KCET is apparently the _only_
    PBS station in the country running this. Speaking only for myself, I _really_
    would like to see this, so anyone within range of KCET who has one of those
    new-fangled video recorder thingies is encouraged to record it and send me a
    copy. Really. I'm not too proud to beg, if I [removed]  ;)  --cfs3]

    Subject:  #OldRadio IRC Chat this Thursday Night!

    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!
