TRANSCONTINENTAL TERROR Presents: 

The Cellar Mini-Series, episode 1: PHOBIAS UNLIMITED

Originally released on the Mutual Audio Network in October 2021, this is the first of five new episodes produced by 63audio for the month-long Transcontinental Terror audio series. 

Phobias Unlimited, set in an alternate universe, tells the story of Hazel, a woman who has better luck with cats than with men. She discovers "Phobias Unlimited", a business providing a unique service that exploits a person's special fear -- but we don't want to give too much away! Written and produced by Rachel Pulliam by special arrangement with The Cellar's regular producer, her play was a Second-Place winner in the 2019 Cellar Script-Writing Competition. NARADA RADIO COMPANY/SOLE TWIN AUDIO

The Cellar mini-series will re-release all 5 episodes weekly on Fridays until November 26th. Next up: "How to Shed 180 Pounds".

Episode 9 -- "Christmas Show 1950", The Bing Crosby Chesterfield Show

Welcome to Old-Time Radio Essentials, a new podcast wherein a specific episode from a selected OTR series is presented, and then discussed by three co-hosts: Pete Lutz, Jane St. John and Paul Arbisi; to determine whether or not it meets the following criteria:

1. Is it truly representative of that series? (Can anyone point to it and say, "Yes, that is what [NAME OF SERIES] was all about.")

2. Is it an episode worthy of inclusion in any and every OTR aficionado's private collection?

So with this in mind, we three bring you, as our ninth installment (and Pete's selection), this episode of The Bing Crosby Show from 1950. We'll introduce the show, play it in its entirety, then discuss it at length. Thanks for joining us, and we hope you enjoy it!
