NO SOAP RADIO - Fibber McGee and Molly
No Soap Radio - Fibber McGee & Molly: The 6th Anniversary Show (1941) Our 8th NO SOAP RADIO production created in July, 2024. As always we're presenting this show exactly as written in 1941 for historical accuracy. We don't condone every attitude expressed in the show. You might recognize the voice of the actor playing Fibber. It’s none other than Larry Groebe of Project Audion fame. This show was produced, directed and edited by Paul Kovit. Paul also managed to decipher the four part hamonies of The Kings Men. He then was able to recreate their song, “Let’s Get Away From It All” using singers who were scattered throughout the U.S. We hope you like the results.

PROJECT AUDION 69 - Suspense
Project Audion 69 - Suspense: Deadline Project Audion kicks off its sixth season by once again returning to that all-time classic audio drama, Suspense. We've again accessed a script from one of the very few lost episodes of the show, and are bringing back many of the actors from Audion's very first show in 2020 to recreate it. This episode, titled "Deadline," was originally broadcast in June 1950 with Broderick Crawford. It is a powerhouse story of a newspaper editor whose fast-breaking stories on the Chicago underworld increase his paper's circulation beyond his wildest dreams... but which may also prove to be the stuff of his nightmares. It is indeed a classic tale "well-calculated to keep you in..." SUSPENSE!

PROJECT AUDION 68 - Wayfaring Men
Project Audion 68 - Wayfaring Men Larry Groebe wanted to do a "very special episode" for the finale of the fifth season. Starting with recreating what is not only a lost episode, but an entirely lost show from some of the earliest days of network radio. "Wayfaring Men" is pretty much an unknown, undocumented show... a dramatic 1933 summer serial from CBS about the lives of the hoboes, tramps, and bums who were so numerous during the Great Depression. Not a single recording of the show exists, and there's almost no background information either, but Project Audion came upon a handful of the original mimeographed scripts, and has selected an episode dated June 26 1933 to bring back to life.
