I'm fairly certain that the voice of that other actor in this scene is Gerald Mohr. en.wikipedia.org...

Gerald Mohr was the voice of Phillip Marlowe on the second radio adaptation of, "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe," the one that actually lasted for a while.

That ringtone tho
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:26pm

Phones used to sound wildly different, and radio is the best way to track that change, over time. Even the phone sounds I grew up with in the 80's are more or less gone from all modern phone devices.

Austin Rich:

↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:50
Chandu will keep going for a while, but Blackstone would be a good follow-up. I might cut Chandu off, if the story reaches a sort of natural "pause." The show would run for years if I just let it go.

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:57pm
Austin Rich:

Radio seasons in the old days were funny. There was ALWAYS a show every week, but like with TV now, some shows would get canceled, and wouldn't last long. But on average, I've seen most shows run about 26 episodes a season, or 50-ish episodes a season, which offers a programmer six months or one years worth of shows. (This is for weekly dramas.)

  10:10pm

@AR that reminds me of my favorite episode of Mysterious Traveler (only heard a few) where the old ladies think their nephew is trying to kill them so they kill him … or do they burn the house down? And then it turns out they were just paranoid. Oh shit. Spoilers.

That show can get pretty strange. It has it's charms, but yeah... some of the stories are a bit of a stretch.

Oh yes! Color 13 tonight. A nice deep purple! Good change from all the green! I want a Facts of Life audio reboot!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:13pm
Austin Rich:

↳ Cp304 @10:02
I might have told this story on the radio before, but as a very young man, I was into Moonlighting, probably because I was already into detective stories, and Moonlighting was funny. When there was this new show that on that was gonna follow Moonlighting, called Max Headroom... well, of course I'm gonna tune in!

So many 80s shows remind me of OTR. V is like War of the Worlds, for example
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:16pm
Austin Rich:

I can't remember where the interest in detective stories came from, but certainly, Moonlighting was the synthesis of that interest, in a show that I was THERE for.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:17pm
Austin Rich:

↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:16
V was pretty great. I should revisit that. It TERRIFIED me when it was on.

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:22pm

I guess V starts with a two part Mini-Series, and then closes with a three part mini-series. Five parts total. In my mind there was more...
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 10:23pm
ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova:

↳ Austin Rich @10:19
There was a two part miniseries then there was a second miniseries V: the Final Battle, then they did a tv series in the 80s and a remake in the 00s
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:24pm

I forgot about the V reboot in the 2000s. I feel like there was a gal from Lost on it... but that's all I remember.

No apology needed ! Go over!!!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm
Austin Rich:

The sound quality this week, on the source recording for this episode, is incredibly poor. I believe it came from a fan recording, and therefore, has a lot of less-than-stellar aspects. I did my best to try and EQ the audio, to improve it for this broadcast. Still... it's a bummer we don't have better recordings of these shows.
  10:34pm
Heather:

↳ Austin Rich @10:33
Sounds great from here!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:35pm
Austin Rich:

Case in point: you can hear another radio show in the background of this recording. Most likely, a tape was used to capture this recording that had another recording on it, and the previous recording was not completely recorded over. This is the best we have.

Is it a bad recording or the old man's radio?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:38pm

↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:36
Ooooo... I guess it could be that the person capturing this recording was accidentally recieving two radio stations, too. Which was easy to do in the old days.
