Folks;
Posted a personal wrap-up to last week's Cincinnati Nostalgia Expo to the
blog; it's the usual audio-visual [removed], it's got photos and an
edited video from the live SummersTime interviews with Ivan Cury and Bob
Hastings. Also has my personal comments about the convention, and a public
thank-you to convention producer Mike Wheeler.

The first interview, with Bob Hastings, will air on Radio Once More at
[removed] the week of June 17th; see
[removed] for show times. The second interview, with
Ivan Cury, will air the following week, June 24th.

Friends,
Do any recordings exist from the Second War series of dramas he wrote and
directed for "First in the Air" on CBS?
According to the book of scripts ("Long Way Home") published by Julian
Messner in 1946, the programs were then repeated on "Wings for Tomorrow" over
Mutual, and distributed to army hospitals and civilian groups as a series of
recordings called "Coming Home." Some of the scripts were rebroadcast on
"The Army Hour" over NBC, and "The Land Is Bright" on CBS. The book note
says they were distributed on transcription, too.
Pete Seeger was on one episode, Cisco Huston in another, and some of the
music by Elmer Bernstein and Earl Robinson.
Can anybody help?

1947 Sergeant Preston of The Yukon went national for the first time.
The show, with the Canadian Mountie and his trusty dog, King, continued

was created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker, who also created The
Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet.
1955 The first network radio show to be produced with no script, The
University of Chicago Round Table, was heard for the final time on NBC.
The program was the first network radio program to win the coveted
George Foster Peabody Award.
1955 "This is Monitor, a weekend program service of NBC Radio," was
heard for the first time. Notables such as Bill Cullen, Ed McMahon, Hugh
Downs, and Dave Garroway recited this line. It was a network cue to NBC
radio stations across the nation who carried the long form news,
entertainment and variety broadcast from New York City. Stations and
listeners who were "on the Monitor beacon" were entertained for six
hours or more each Saturday and Sunday night for nearly two decades.
NBC's Monitor was one of the last live network radio programs on the air.
