Ep. 80: Radio Revue- First Person Singular or ‘Orson V. Dracula: Dawn of Mercury Theater’

The Bally-Boo presses on through the hallowed halls of horror into one of its most terrifying rooms, the one where you can only hear fear and imagine its sight! Yes, this week Zach welcomes back the Ravenous Radio hound James Scully (Podcaster, 'Breaking Walls') for a deep dive into the very origins of a radio program that brought terror to a personal point of view as they unravel the CBS program Firt Person Singular and its' production of DRACULA! After the warm glow of the dial has extinguished from the radio, stick around and listen in as the boys find themselves overcome with terror over Orson Welles' life before radio, become trapped in the cage of titles as they clarify its difference from the actual 'Mercury Theater on the Air', tremble before the realities of Orson's grand ascendance to radio stardom, cower before the breakdown of a true Dracula adaptation, and finally slay the vampire with the blinding light of truth that is the programs influence on media to this day. ------------------------------------- Be sure to check out James' podcasting work by listening to BREAKING WALLS: THE WALL BREAKERS PODCAST Website: https://www.thewallbreakers.com/ iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/breaking-walls/id924086880 and give a listen to "And Then I Sing', the podcast musical about Frank Sinatra's life: https://soundcloud.com/thewallbreakers/sets/and-then-i-sing?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
