  • E49. Night Beat: The Bomb on Flight 63 (9/4/1952)
    Oct 5 2022

    Join host, Carl Amari, for a radio re-broadcast of Night Beat. Featuring vocal talent by Frank Lovejoy.


    In this series, Frank Lovejoy stars as Randy Stone, a reporter who covered the night beat for the Chicago Star, encountering criminals, eccentrics, and troubled souls. On each episode, listeners were invited to join Stone as he "searches through the city for the strange stories waiting for him in the darkness." Most episodes leaned towards suspense, crime and thriller themes, but Night Beat also featured occasional humorous or sentimental stories. Each episode ended with Stone at his desk as he finished typing a news story based on his latest exploits, and shouting for the copy boy to deliver his story to an editor.


    Originally airing 9/4/1952, gather around for "The Bomb on Flight 63," with Randy Stone!

  • E48. The Cavalcade of America: Billy the Kid (12/30/1952)
    Sep 28 2022

    Join host, Carl Amari, as we gallop into this week's episode of The Cavalcade of America. Featuring narration by Van Johnson.


    Did you know that Cavalcade of America documented historical events using stories of individual courage, initiative and achievement, often with feel-good dramatizations of the human spirit's triumph against all odds? The series was intended to improve DuPont's public image after World War I. The company's motto, "Maker of better things for better living through chemistry," was read at the beginning of each program, and the dramas emphasized humanitarian progress, particularly improvements in the lives of women, often through technological innovation.


    Originally airing 12/30/1952 gather around for "Billy the Kid," in the week's episode of The Cavalcade of America!
