C'est rare que j'apprécie autant de la #RadioThéâtre

En duo avec #EmmanuelBex, figure du #jazz européen, #DavidLescot, auteur et metteur en scène, imagine La Chose commune comme un concept album joué en live. Tous deux sont des férus de #LaCommune, cet épisode historique à la fois tragique et épique avec ses légendes et ses personnages désormais célèbres ( #LouiseMichel, #ÉlisabethDmitrieff…). Ils feront s’entremêler toutes les figures de l’ #histoire le temps d’une rapsodie ou d’un solo de batterie.

Let’s give this a shot! October is the perfect month to try and launch the #FediOTRClub where each week I will curate two hours worth of Old Time Radio stories for Fedi to listen to. Feel free to comment in with the hashtag when you get to listen, hoping commentary will help me pick future weeks shows. For October specifically I’m starting with the theme of #ChillingDaysOfYesteryear with classic horror and thriller shows all month.

1) “Sorry Wrong Number” – Suspense, May 25, 1943 (Starring Agnes Moorehead)
“The first broadcast of this thriller classic. Probably the best remembered program of the series. A bed ridden disabled woman battles the frustrations of the telephone system after she overhears a plot to murder someone!”

2) “Three Skeleton Key” – Escape, March 17, 1950 (Starring Vincent Price)
“This classic takes place on a remote lighthouse where the three light keepers that inhabit it suddenly have to deal with a ghost ship carrying thousands of rats that crashes into their Island key.”

3) “The Midnight Horseman” – Macabre, December 11, 1961. (fairly obscure program produced by the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service – Far East Network)
“A good screamer. A painting of a black knight...with occult powers! (The announcer mentions that it's Halloween, indicating a possible rebroadcast at a later date.)”
Listen:

4) “Return Trip” – Murder by Experts, September 19, 1949 (has also been dated September 5)
“The chilling story about an escaped homicidal maniac and a bus full of people trapped by an avalanche.”

Sorry this issue of the newsletter is late. @evoterra switched mailing services and cocked up the scheduling. All better now.

The companion podcast episode is also (finally) published. That took forever because a) Evo has a nasty head cold and b) it's 44 minutes long, because we include trailers for all 13 shows that either wrapped a series last week, are recommendations for you this week, or have new seasons starting next week. Yes. 13. Wow. Good thing we use chapters so you can skip ahead!

Also, there's a brand new website experience that we're TOTALLY STOKED about. It's gonna let us do so much more. You gotta check it out! https://theend.fyi (and let's see how well it shares socially!)
