    No Large Bills - Episode 107
    Jul 6 2024

    How will Falk and his special guest star cope without a narrator? How many wall angles does this polygon have? You do everything a child says? Listen to find out!

    No Large Bills, episode 107 of This Gun in My Hand, was created from dues paid by one person, Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. What keeps me from paying ransom with large bills? Being broke. And also – This Gun in My Hand!

    Show Notes:
    1. Enjoy ZaSu Pitts in
    The Crooked Circle (1932)
    https://youtu.be/mH--iCfpMqk?si=gnz_vRf7OqVu5eYM
    So’s Your Aunt Emma! (1942)

    2. During my experience of the 1980s, Thursday night at 8 o’clock was time for Michigan Outdoors on your local PBS station, one of my dad’s favorite shows. Astro Police were inspired by the announcer on the radio series Space Patrol (1952-1955), and their activities were inspired by the Dead Kennedys song “Police Truck” (1980) and the rather problematic James Caan and Alan Arkin film which set the standard for buddy cop movies, Freebie and the Bean (1974).

    3. Wikipedia says bungalows are single story. I just throw out architectural terms that sound legit. What’s ranch style? What’s Tudor? What’s a “cornice?” I have no idea.

    4. Actual old time radio dramas name-checked in this episode: Jack Armstrong, The All-American Boy; The Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen. Not actual old time radio shows: Little Orphan Ayn; Father Clogin; InfoMars with Alex Johansen; Astro Police.

    Credits:
    The opening and middle theme music clips were from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950); the music used in the Astro Police ad was from Chapter ten of Flash Gordon’s Trip to Mars (1938); and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), all three films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

    Murder at the Job Fair for Dicks - Episode 106
    Jun 20 2024

    Which detective was murdered at the job fair for dicks? How many dicks will it take to detect who did it? Do you have any experience gunning down striking miners or railroad workers? Listen to find out!

    Murder at the Job Fair for Dicks, episode 106 of This Gun in My Hand, was headhunted by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. What do I use to practice my skills of detection? This Gun in My Hand!

    Show Notes:
    1. One of my favorite old time radio shows is Pete Kelly’s Blues, a 1951 series starring Jack Webb as a hardboiled cornet player in a Dixieland jazz band who solves mysteries in 1920s Kansas City. Only six episodes are thought to survive.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Kelly%27s_Blues_(radio_series)

    2. Eccentric Houseboat Detective was inspired by John D. MacDonald’s character Travis McGee in The Deep Blue Good-by. Not inspired by eccentric sailboat detectives Sonny Crocket or Quincy or Adam West’s character in The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1969).

    3. Anachronism: the Knights Templar were arrested for heresy by order of King Phillip IV on October 12th, 1307, but you can tell this episode is set in summer because no one is described as wearing coats as they would be in Parabellum City in October.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trials_of_the_Knights_Templar

    Credits:
    The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950); the ad music for Eccentric Houseboat Detective was from D.O.A. (1949); and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), all films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

    Violent Vacation with Peruvian Guns - Episode 103
    Apr 28 2024

    Falk walks close to the edge of crass commercialism, then gets pushed over the line. Do you have hat-related powers? Did someone steal your hat when you were young? Does it have something to do with drumming? Listen to find out!

    Violent Vacation with Peruvian Guns, episode 103 of This Gun in My Hand, was crocheted by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. What keeps my ears warm? This Gun in My Hand!

    For a limited time, a few items of This Gun in My Hand merchandise are available on ebay. Give me your money!

    Show Notes:
    1. Violent Vacation with Peruvian Nuns was a tape released by the UK skate/thrash band The Stupids in 1986. In the village where I grew up (literally, legally a “village”), I was not on the cutting edge of knowledge about hardcore punk. The only radio stations within range were top 40, oldies or country, except for a freeform college radio station from Ann Arbor. When my family took a month long road trip in maybe summer 1988, we stopped a few days in San Diego. I might have passed over this tape at the swap meet, never heard of The Stupids before, but the cover had a cartoon of a twitching guy in a wheelchair by Don Martin. Great music, problematic pseudonyms and album titles, probably problematic lyrics but who can understand what Brits are singing? And I bet they used the cartoon without paying Don Martin or Mad Magazine. Rascals!

    Credits:
    The opening and middle transitional music clips were from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

    World of Whispers - Episode 101
    Apr 5 2024
    A noisy day at the park, when suddenly–it’s oh so quiet. Gunshots are muffled. Wrestling grunts are barely audible. Can Falk restore order to the soundscape? Why does that bearded guy’s costume include wings? Listen to find out!World of Whispers, episode 101 of This Gun in My Hand, was breathed out by Rob Northrup. All episodes are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. What keeps people quiet? This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. One of my earliest radio plays was a group project for Creative Writing class in high school, probably 1989. My friends Jeff, Julian and I wrote a script parodying Star Trek, cobbled together from jokes we had probably absorbed reading Mad Magazine. Only five or ten minutes long, we recorded it on tape and played it in class. I’m not sure why Mr. Groesser apologized to the class afterwards, maybe because of the bad language like “Damn!” or “Bloody Hell!” At one point Jeff did the voice of a vendor at a baseball game, calling out, “peaNUTS! Popcorn!” maybe to hint at how large the ship is. I tried to recreate his delivery here. When Julian’s girlfriend heard the tape, she asked what girl we had cast for the voice of Uhura. She wouldn’t believe I had done it. No effects software to raise the pitch, I did it all in the delivery.2.

    Parabellum City Passes a C-Note, episode 100 of This Gun in My Hand, was founded and passed by Rob Northrup -- who would like to remind you that This Gun in My Hand is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events, places, financial instruments or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialogue.

What will I use to get a message to the bank? This Gun in My Hand!

    Show Notes:
    1. The history of Parabellum City is inspired by the founding of Jacksonberg, aka Jacksonopolis, aka Jackson, aka Jacktown, aka Rose City, aka Prison City. They’re not meant to be the same. Parabellum City is bigger. Jackson is not what I’d call a toddlin’-class town.

    2. Fruity ad inspired by “He Was Her Man” (Merrie Melodies, 1936). Content warning: the domestic violence they got away with in 1936 cartoons is unreal.

    3. Wikipedia says “In some cities in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, the key to the city is given to the so-called 'prins carnaval' who leads the carnivals which take place the week prior to Septuagesima.”
