Gloria Swanson is ready for her close-up. The silent movie star and box office sensation ruled Hollywood in the 1920s and returned with a vengeance with a sensational turn in Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard. We'll hear Swanson recreate her Oscar-nominated role of Norma Desmond in a Lux Radio Theatre adaptation (originally aired on CBS on September 17, 1951). We'll also hear her one and only visit to Suspense - "Murder by the Book" (originally aired on CBS on July 10, 1947).

Based on the book by the same name [by Donna Barrow-Green], this literary podcast is akin to a scripted audio book and retains the depth and breadth of the novel. The story follows a fallen woman and the man obsessed with her. Vacillating between desire and fear, the story unfolds in escalating suspense. Amazon Reader writes:"A Searing Tale - 5 Stars-This is a socially important and poignant tale of a war widow's seduction. She is impregnated and then abandoned by a clinically slick and selfish bastard, a married man without conscience. As the book moves on, I hoped he had done his worst, I hoped he would move on to other conquests. But he kept coming back."Story: Eve Miller, a young war widow, rebels against the ordinariness of womanhood in the post-war era. Eve is enlightened as she succumbs to the sensual temptation of an adulterous affair. In its aftermath, Eve Miller's life unravels and leads to unexpected violen Ordinary Girl Courtney Raine and Kaley Shannon Ordinary Girl - hosted by Courtney Raine & Kaley Shannon - is a weekly lifestyle podcast dedicated to delivering joy, relatability, & belly-laughs to young people everywhere. Every Friday, Courtney & Kaley share the jaw-dropping insanity they’re experiencing in LA as if you’re chattin' with them on a Covid-Safe beach watchin' a Malibu sunset (don't forget your iced-grande-cinnamon-dolce-Starbs). The honest & entertaining storytelling will leave you either in suspense or feeling completely understood (& hopefully a little less nuts). This Week at Law School Tom Withers I decided to start this podcast as a way to journal my experience here, keep my friends and family in the loop about what is going on, and to provide a resource to anybody who is curious about law school.I came here without knowing what to expect, since I haven't really known any lawyers very well. There was a lot of mystery and suspense surrounding the whole process, so I just wanted to give you the layperson's perspective as I try and figure everything out.If you are interested in law school, I will do my best to make this as useful a tool for you as possible and get rid of some of the cloudy mystery that surrounds this type of education.I hope you enjoy it!
