  The finest radio drama of the 1930’s was The Mercury Theatre on the Air, a show featuring the acclaimed New York drama company founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman. In its brief run, it featured an impressive array of talents, including Agnes Moorehead, Bernard Herrmann, and George Coulouris. The show is famous for its notorious War of the Worlds broadcast, but the other shows in the series are relatively unknown.  The show first broadcast on CBS and CBC in July 1938. It ran without a sponsor until December of that year, when it was picked up by Campbell’s Soup and renamed The Campbell Playhouse.  

Old Time Radio CFRG  presents the first two episodes of Jet Morgan Journey in to Space - The Red Planet. The first installement of many shows to come. Join Johnny Night as he takes you down Nostalgia lane with OTR shows, commercials and historical broadcasts.   Journey Into Space was a hugely popular radio drama series, written by BBC producer Charles Chilton, on the BBC during the 1950′s, and had the honor of being the last radio series to achieve a bigger evening audience than television. The half-hour episodes ran for eighteen weeks from September 1953 on the BBC Light Programme (the forerunner to BBC Radios 1 and 2).    

Your Host Johnny Night presents three episodes from Frankenstein (1931) interspersed with vintage commercials. starring the renouned father of Australian serial radio, George Edwards. Join Night, as we stroll down Nostalgia Lane. George Edwards (born as Harold Parks, 11 March 1886 in Kent Town, South Australia; died 1953) was an Australian actor and producer. Edwards was a pioneer of the radio serial in Australia. Prior to that he was a comedian, vaudeville artist, acrobatic dancer and stage performer. It is claimed that he changed his name from Harold Parks to George Edwards at the behest of Edward Branscombe, who was putting together an up-market act and did not want anyone associated with low-brow music hall, and that he took the name from English theatrical impresario George Edwards.[1] He performed in a radio drama adaption of Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
