For the holidays, Project Audion, for its 25th production, turns to Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol."

There were many adaptations of this tale during the Golden Age of Radio, but one of the cleverest and most charming was when it was transplanted to the Old West for a Christmas episode of the Jimmy Stewart western "The Six Shooter" which aired from 1953 to 1954. The story of Eben and Jake - and how and why Stewart's character Britt Ponsett tells it - makes for a delightful half hour.

Originally broadcast on NBC, 12/20/1953. Our cast for this recreation is our most wide-ranging in both location and age:

BRITT PONSETT: Ric Spiegel, TX

JOHNNY CARVILLE: Austin Mosher, NY

EBEN SCROOGE: Stanley Dyrector, CA

BOB CRATCHITT: Chris Marcellus, UT

BELLE / MRS CRATCHITT: Rachel Pulliam, MO

AUNT MILLIE: Denise Cline, KY

NEPHEW: Ken Raney, TX

ANNOUNCER: Paul Arbisi, IL and

JAKE MARLEY: Joe Mendell, UK

GHOST: Richard Huitema, FL

Sound is by Ken Raney, with direction, production, & music by Larry Groebe

Episode 11 -- "C-Chute", X Minus One

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, Paul Arbisi, and newcomer Dave Feldmann; 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 eleventh installment (and Paul's selection), this episode of X Minus One from 1956. 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!

Not too many stars from the OTR era have also hosted Saturday Night Live and a Broadway show, but comic geniuses Bob & Ray did it - and so Project Audion salutes them with a recreation of the offbeat, deadpan humor that aired on radio networks across the country for years starting in the early 1950s. John Bell in Alabama, and Pete Lutz in Texas take on the many characters created by Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding in an assemblage of sketches - both familiar and obscure - designed to replicate the kind of free flowing absurdity they did so well. Larry Groebe is there as well, handling the production aspects from Dallas.

ATTENTION, PLEASE! ATTENTION, PLEASE! We certainly hope you enjoyed this presentation, and if you want more of this type of absurd humor, copy and paste the link below to hear John Bell & Pete Lutz in another Project Audion presentation, this one however written entirely by Pete in the style of, and as an homage to, Bob & Ray.

Like the title says, this live show was performed and recorded in 1989, staged as a mock radio broadcast to entertain the ladies of "WAVES National", an organization whose members had served or were still serving in the U.S. Navy. They held their annual convention in Atlanta that year.

All characters played by Pete Lutz and John Bayer, who were, respectively, serving on active duty and in the Naval Reserve at the time.

WAVES, by the way, stands for Women's Auxiliary Volunteer Emergency Service, which goes back to World War I. Nowadays all women serving in the Navy are full-fledged Sailors, serving on combat-ready ships and on submarines.

The comedy sketches in this program were written by Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding, with filler written by Pete Lutz.
