I had so much fun with my Wordplay during the Spring Old-time Radio Marathon, that I have decided to continue the practice for our upcoming Summer Marathon. I selected a three letter word, using the letters found in the word “Summer”, as the theme for this Presentation. I have chosen the word “USE”, and the show titles are as follows: 1. “Under Arrest”, Broadcast on February 06, 1949, “The Sam Carver Case.” 2. “Suspense”, Broadcast on September 02, 1942, “The Hitch Hiker.” 3. “Exploring Tomorrow”, Broadcast on May 28, 1958, “The Trouble With Robots (Hunting Lodge).”
