    • The Best of the 2024-25 Season
      Nov 2 2025
      In this special, we look back at the top five half-hour Old Time Radio programs of our 2024-2025 season, and one of our best Old Time Radio Snack Wagon episodes.

      First up, it's The Falcon in "The Case of the Jumping Jack":

      A woman hires The Falcon because she suspects that her husband has hired a private eye to follow her.

      Original Radio Broadcast Date: April 20, 1952

      Originating from New York

      Starring: Les Damon as The Falcon; Chuck Webster as Sergeant Corbett

      Then we turn to the Your Playhouse of Favorites production of "The Suicide Club":

      A bored crown prince, looking for excitement, joins a club of men who want to end their lives.

      Original Air Date: Sometime between 1947 and 1949

      Originating from New York

      Starring: Dwight Reese; Walter Vaughn

      Speaking of Robert Louis Stevenson, we turn to an excerpt from The Orson Welles Almanac wherein Welles reads Stevenson's lesser-known letter defending Father Damien against the scathing remarks of Reverend Dr. C.M. Hyde. This impassioned response, penned in 1890, highlights the stark contrasts between the selfless heroism of Father Damien and the hypocrisy of his critics.

      Join us as we explore the rich historical context and emotional weight of Stevenson's words, showcasing not only a brilliant literary takedown but also a tribute to compassion and service in the face of adversity. Welles's masterful narration brings this poignant piece to life, reminding us of the enduring legacy of Father Damien.

      Complete Text of Stevenson's letter:

      Then we turn to a surreal episode of Mr. and Mrs. North, "Call Me Choo Choo"

      A husband and wife team of geologists are recruited by the IRS to journey into Tibet to seek the favor of the Dalai Lama. They find themselves in competition with two Nazi officers.
