BBC SATURDAY NIGHT THEATRE: Witch Wood

In this 1990 BBC radio adaptation of the 1927 historical novel by John Buchan (BUCK-un), set in 17th-century Scotland, a young minister, David Sempill, confronts religious extremism, civil war, and pagan rituals in a rural parish. Buchan is well-remembered as the author of the novel "The 39 Steps", adapted several times for both cinema, and radio.

"8" A PLAY ABOUT THE BATTLE FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY

(RATED PG-13) A co-production of 63audio and LEAP Audio. This is the story of two gay couples and their fight to challenge the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, which went into effect in the first decade of the 21st century, predating "Obergefell". Prop. 8 essentially made it illegal for same-sex couples to marry. Fashioned from actual dialog, TV political ads and court transcripts, "8" is a moving, gripping drama that you must share with your family and friends.

OLD-TIME RADIO ESSENTIALS Episode 57: Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar

OTR-E returns with episode 57, and this time it's Paul's selection, and he's bringing us a five-part adventure of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, starring Bob Bailey in the title role. As always, you're invited to join Paul, Pete and Patte for the old-time radio, and stay for the scintillating (that's one word for it...) discussion afterwards!

As you listen, perhaps you'll learn if we feel this entry meets the following criteria:

1. Is it truly representative of that series? (Can anyone point to it and say, "Yes, that is what [NAME OF SERIES] was all about.")

2. Is it an episode worthy of inclusion in any and every OTR aficionado's private collection?

So with this in mind, we four bring you, as our fifty-seventh number (but 8th official episode of S5), this 5-part adventure of Johnny Dollar, from 1955. We'll introduce the show, play it in its entirety, then discuss it at length. Thanks for joining us, and we hope you enjoy it!

Please show your support of the podcast by doing any of the following...

To comment on how we might improve OTR-E, or give suggestions for future discussions, please write to us at themoonlightaudiopodcast@gmail.com . Put the word "Essentials" in the subject line.

Your feedback means a lot to us! A review at iTunes or at your usual podcatcher would be appreciated.

Next Time: It's Patte's pick again, and she'll bring us, for the edification of us Amuricanz, another CBC Radio comedy, plus a special guest who appeared on that series. Join us then, won't you?
