Re: Ted has a collection of the 1975 shows

Allan, I agree that the author would get to "draw all the lines and set all the label himself or herself. What got me interested in this subject was a post yesterday from Walden Hughes mentioning an OTR revival in 1975 that involved six-month runs of Author's Studio, The Faces of Love, The Little Things in Life and To Have N Hold. I think he said that Ted Davenport has about 88 total episodes of these four series combined, but he may not have digitized them yet. None of them are on his website. The problem with writing an article on them if I can't get them from Ted will be getting them from somewhere else. He has not returned a message I sent him this afternoon, and that is not a good sign.

Possibly another group member will have them in his or her collection and can send them to me or any other member who would like to write an article on them and to include episodes of CBSRMT, Moon Over Morocco or anything else that an editor might actually publish. I would be inclined to limit it just to the four series mentioned by Walden, but any writer would have the freedom to choose that you mention.

looking at radio of the 1970's they'll have a real job on their
hands. Besides those shows already mentioned, there are all
the shows written and produced by ZBS. The Jack Flanders
series, such as Moon Over Morocco, The Third Tower of Inverness,
were produced throughout the 70's and into the 80's. Plus
radio shows like Chicken Man. In the 80's ZBS produced the
Ruby, the Galactic Gumshoe shows. I"m pretty sure ZBS is
still producing shows. I don't think most here would lump
them in with OTR, but they were definitely influenced by OTR but
modernized. They were/are legitimate radio theater though,
and I thought very well written and produced. I always lumped
them in with NTR myself.
The beauty of writing a
"taxonomy" article about a non-sciece subject is that the author
gets to draw all the lines and set all the labels himself or
herself. That's freedom!

Michael, if somebody writes an article on "The Silver Age of

to include. It will be a lot of fun, but quite a challenge.

I think the four programs that were part of the 1975 revival might be a good subject for an article entitled "The Silver Age of Radio." But the author would need to include CBS Radio Mystery Theater, and it would be a challenge to determine which of the 1400 or so episodes would be the most interesting to readers. In my opinion the best category of them is those that were based on a short story or a novel by a great writer like Henry James (there are several episodes based on his short stories).
