Maybe just me but I feel the ground moving lately? Has the Republican movement become weaker?
The realization of the results of this administration has seemed to be felt by the supporters of this president now? The anything goes attitude is now being checked and some push back from some of the Republicans. The world is watching how this country is falling apart at the seams. Our enemies are also watching and waiting for another “shoe to drop”, before decisions are made and alliances created. New series, Pat Novak you might remember the voice as Dragnet, Jack Webb.

Branding and the importance, Mysterious Circumstances playhouse BBC 1963
Listen and enjoyMysterious CircumstancesWhat It WasMysterious Circumstances wasn't a single continuous radio series in the conventional sense. It was a package — a collection of 26 half-hour Mystery plays assembled by the BBC Transcription Service for distribution to overseas radio networks. The recordings span a remarkably long production window, from 1958 to at least 1989, which means the anthology drew on BBC radio drama produced across three decades rather than from a single defined run. Some episodes were made specifically for the Transcription Service; others were pulled from the BBC's main broadcast archive. A number may never have aired within the UK itself, going straight to international distribution.That international focus shaped what the anthology was. The BBC Transcription Service regularly packaged genre programming for broadcast abroad, and Mysterious Circumstances was one such offering — a curated selection of British radio drama built around crime, the uncanny, and the unsolved, designed to travel well.The Source MaterialThe range of authors adapted across the series is one of its most striking features. The episode list draws on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, M.R. James, W.W. Jacobs, L.P. Hartley, Joseph Conrad, Thomas Hardy, Jerome K. Jerome, John Collier, J.B. Priestley, Julian Symons, Marie Belloc Lowndes, Francis Durbridge, Philip Levene, Berkeley Mather, Barry Bermange, and Berlie Doherty. That range stretches from Victorian ghost story writers to mid-twentieth-century thriller specialists, which gives the anthology an unusually wide tonal spread — gothic terror sitting alongside procedural crime, literary short fiction alongside radio originals.The source stories were largely adapted by Michael and Mollie Hardwick, a husband-and-wife writing team who were prolific BBC radio drama adapters. Mollie Hardwick worked in the BBC drama department from 1946 until 1963, and the Hardwicks' fingerprints are on several of the more literary adaptations in the series. Their work included the L.P. Hartley episode "W.S.," which starred Max Adrian and was produced by Charles Lefeaux.Episodes Worth NotingA few individual episodes stand out for what's documented about them. The M.R. James adaptation "Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You" starred Michael Hordern as Professor Parkins, with special effects supplied by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. It was first broadcast on the BBC Home Service in December 1963, produced by Charles Lefeaux. The combination of James's source material, Hordern's performance, and Radiophonic Workshop sound design puts this among the more distinctive entries in the collection.The Conan Doyle adaptation "The New Catacomb" was adapted by R.J.B. Sellar and produced by R.D. Smith. The Charles Dickens episode — drawn from the Pickwick Papers story "The Goblins Who Stole A Sexton" — featured Sir Ralph Richardson as Storyteller, with music composed and conducted by Christopher Whelen; Charles Lefeaux again served as adapter and producer. Among the earliest confirmed broadcast dates in the series are "A Glass of Lemonade" by Barry Bermange, broadcast February 28, 1962, and "An Unrecorded Instance" adapted from Marie Belloc Lowndes, broadcast August 14, 1963.Other producers documented across the series include Robin Midgley on "A Glass of Lemonade," Martin C. Webster on both "What Do You Think?" (Francis Durbridge) and "Returned Without Thanks" (Berkeley Mather), and Archie Campbell on the Julian Symons episode "Night Drive To Dover." The credits shift episode to episode in a way that reflects the anthology's piecemeal assembly out of three decades of BBC drama.How It Was MadeEach episode runs approximately 30 minutes. Production across the series gave careful attention to sound effects and music as tools for building mood, consistent with BBC radio drama practice of the period. The Radiophonic Workshop's involvement in the James episode is the most explicitly documented instance of this, but the anthology's general approach was to let the audio environment carry a significant part of the storytelling weight. The narratives were constructed to unfold gradually, building suspense through accumulation rather than shock.The production credits vary episode to episode, reflecting the anthology's long timeline — different producers, different adapters, different casts, across recordings that span more than 30 years. What holds the collection together is genre and format rather than a continuous production team. Because each episode stood alone, with no recurring characters or serialized storylines, the package could be broadcast in any order and in any market — a useful property for material aimed at overseas stations with their own scheduling needs.What SurvivesTwenty episodes are accounted for in the current catalog, out of the 26 half-hour plays that made up the full anthology as distributed by the BBC Transcription Service. Surviving audio is uneven — some copies are noted to be in poor sound quality, which isn't surprising given the combination of tape age, the varied origins of the source recordings, and the fact that some copies entered circulation through international broadcast chains rather than direct BBC archive preservation. The long production window, from the late 1950s through at least the late 1980s, also means the recordings themselves represent different generations of broadcast technology.The BBC origin and the intended international audience meant the anthology was designed to be durable and self-contained from the start. That same design is part of why so much of it has lasted: short, standalone, genre-coherent plays travel well, both across borders and across decades.

Jimmy Stewart series, and "Here on the Farm” do you relate to this song?
Very interesting let me know IF you connect, relate or even understand this song. The future is changing.Also Jimmy Stewart radio series, 1950’s.The Six Shooter is a United States Western old-time radioprogram starring James Stewart as a gunfighter. It was created by Frank Burt, who also wrote many of the episodes, and lasted only one season of 39 episodes on NBC (Sept. 20, 1953–June 24, 1954). Initially, it was broadcast on Sundays at 9:30 pm Eastern Time, through October 11. Then it was heard at 8:30 pm for three weeks. Finally, on November 8, 1953, through March 21, 1954, it was broadcast Sundays at 8 pm; beginning April 1, 1954, through the final episode, it was on Thursdays at 8:30 pm.[1]One old-time radio directory called the program "a last, desperate effort by a radio network (NBC) to maintain interest in adventure drama by employing a major Hollywood movie star in the leading role."[2]Stewart starred as Britt Ponset, a drifting cowboy in the final years of the wild west.[3] Episodes ranged from straight Western drama to whimsical comedy.[4] A trademark of the show was Stewart's use of whispered narration during tense scenes that created a heightened sense of drama, and relief when the situation was resolved.[1]Some of the more prominent actors to perform on the program included Parley Baer, Virginia Gregg, Harry Bartell, Howard McNear, Jeanette Nolan, Dan O'Herlihy, Alan Reed, Marvin Miller, and William Conrad (often credited as "Julius Krelboyne" because he was also the star of CBS's radio show Gunsmoke, playing Marshall Matt Dillon at the time). Some did multiple episodes playing different characters.Each episode opened with the announcer (Hal Gibney; John Wald in later episodes) stating: "The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged. His skin is sun-dyed brown. The gun in his holster is gray steel and rainbow mother-of-pearl, its handle unmarked. People call them both 'the Six Shooter'."[4]The haunting theme music was "Highland Lament",[1] arranged by series composer Basil Adlam and written by British film composer Charles Williams. Jack Johnstone was the producer-director for NBC Radio, in association with Revue Productions.The final episode, "Myra Barker", provided a satisfying (if melancholy) finale to the series. Ponset falls in love with Myra, and proposes marriage. Myra, after thinking it over, appears to accept, but then tells Britt she has heard that Sheriff Jennings of Eagle Falls has asked for his help, and Britt admits that he feels obligated to go. Myra tells Britt to go and not come back, telling him some adventure will always call him, and he will always go, or regret not going. Britt goes, resuming his wanderings, but not before revealing to the audience that he knows he was *not* needed in Eagle Falls, and knows Myra knows that, too. The moment comes across as a moment of supreme self-realization by Britt that he always will be a wanderer.

Have you been hypersensitive lately? Are you crying more as a senior citizen?
Well we all have many reasons to be sensitive and scared these days but sometimes anything and everything can bring you to tears. Use it as a purging tool for sadness. Try and recover fast with new plans, activities or brighter days. Also don’t trust the “Counselor” type the well known person to ask for advice or answers to questions you ask. Be careful who you confide in. Also Johnny Dollar with Edmond O’ Brien, 1951 episode.

Are you or friends you know stuck into a relationship without a healthy ending?
We get lonely as seniors and sometimes we endanger ourselves with toxic friends and partners. On the other side as a younger person we can get ourselves entangled into a dependent relationship that leads us down a path we cannot turn away from. Be careful as you become weaker, the other person can take control of everything. YTJD episode with Edmond O'Brien Contact: [email protected]

HR and the Vampire, “The Six Shooter” series with Jimmy Stewart
THE SIX SHOOTERThe Six Shooter brought James Stewart to the NBC microphone on September 20, 1953, in a fine series of folksy Western adventures.Stewart was never better on the air than in this drama of Britt Ponset, frontier drifter created by Frank Burt. The epigraph set it up nicely: "The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged: his skin is sun dyed brown. The gun in his holster is gray steel and rainbow mother-of-pearl. People call them both The Six Shooter." Ponset was a wanderer, an easy-going gentleman and -- when he had to be -- a gunfighter.Stewart was right in character as the slow-talking maverick who usually blundered into other people's troubles and sometimes shot his way out. His experiences were broad, but The Six Shooter leaned more to comedy than other shows of its kind. Ponset took time out to play Hamlet with a crude road company. He ran for mayor and sheriff of the same town at the same time. He became involved in a delighful Western version of Cinderella, complete with grouchy stepmother, ugly sisters, and a shoe that didn't fit. And at Christmas he told a young runaway the story of A Christmas Carol, Substituting the original Dickens characters with Western heavies. Britt even had time to fall in love, but it was the age-old story of people from different worlds, and the romance was foredoomed despite their valiant efforts to save it.So we got a cowboy-into-the-sunset ending for this series, truly one of the bright spots of radio. Unfortunately, it came too late, and lasted only one season.It was a transcribed show, sustained by NBC and directed by Jack Johnstone. Basil Adlam provided the music and Frank Burt wrote the scripts. Hal Gibney announced.

Thank God it is over! FIFA what a joke and an acting platform for the public to waste money on.
I have never been so happy to see the end of the melodramatic “stars” to say goodbye. The few honest real players are very few and not represented well. Only the cry-babies that whine and cry at every opportunity. The game could be so much better IF they did not allow for the time wasting and embarrassing so-called fouls and the over the top acting and side show with the complete doctor’s coming out with the stretcher and bandages only to see the guy get up and start running! Please enjoy our secret recording of the FIFA acting class for the players. This was submitted by Mr. Boris Chaney the ace reporter in the southeast.
