Greetings, John R, zivilars and Ellen! Hopefully we can keep zivilars entertained!

The title sounds like it would have fit a Dimension X episode we recently heard

@Austin Rich: It will entertain me for sure, but at some point, sleepiness just kicks in, unfortunately, even if I don't have to get up early tomorrow, fortunately

I think facial tissues are the #1 thing referred to by the name of its leading brand. I'm also guilty of referring to photo copying as xeroxing
Avatar 6:03pm
zivilars:

at least, I consider it more "atmospheric" to listen to these radio dramas deep in the night, perfect time for it :)
  6:03pm
Ellen Lovebug:

I wonder if that's the origin of the name Stranger Things of the popular show
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:03pm
Austin Rich:

Imposterous!
  6:03pm

I love how amused Dan is by Suzie. It's endearing. I do ship them!

I'm glad it entertains! Unfortunately, we run out of them just after the 1st of the year. But I have a new show already to replace it.

"To bat a cliche to center-field" - another fine use of baseball-based expressions.

He's so perceptive!

I feel like you've noticed a lot of baseball references in this show. Good ear, Mr. Fab. Secretly a fan?

Mr Fab:

no secret. Go Dodgers!

I wonder if he's been poisoned, that's kind of how it sounds to me

Why isn't he getting a blood screen? He should be checked for toxicity in his blood I think
Avatar 6:08pm
Mr Fab:

finally a Southern accent?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:09pm
Austin Rich:

Mr. Fab: we have a local team, that I guess is a feeder team for the SF major league team. The local team is The Volcanos, and sadly, they do not use Van Halen's "Eruption," when the team hits a home run. It's really a lost opportunity.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:09pm
Austin Rich:

That accent is... suspect, methinks.
  6:09pm
Ellen Lovebug:

When I went to White Sox games as a kid at Comiskie Park, whenever the WS hit a home run, they set off fireworks!
  6:10pm
Ellen Lovebug:

The accent sounds like someone is trying to audition for Colonel Sanders for a KFC commercial
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:10pm
Austin Rich:

Most Volcanoes games end in fireworks. It's controversial, locally, but good free regular entertainment if you have kids.

Why are these people so hamstrung by superstition?

@Austin Rich: Can we expect a halloween special with four scary stories?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:12pm
Austin Rich:

I think more people were superstitious in the 40's than they are now. At least, I don't think I've met many people recently who are superstitious, except in the, "I need more Stevie Wonder's 'Superstitious.'"
  6:13pm
Ellen Lovebug:

Yowza! I love that song
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:13pm
Austin Rich:

zivilars: Yes! Horror stories for the month of October! Then we'll do some holiday stuff for December... maybe a Thanksgiving special, too.

I may be adding a "horror" show to the line-up, after Box 13 runs out. As our closing story of the show.

Ellen Lovebug:

Interesting
  6:18pm
Ellen Lovebug:

This is a bit intimidating of an episode.
  6:19pm
Ellen Lovebug:

Some of these folks have awful accents but that's ok
  6:19pm
Ellen Lovebug:

This is making me want to watch True Blood
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:20pm
Austin Rich:

I wonder how many actors that Alan Ladd knew had every heard Southern accents?
Avatar 6:20pm
Mr Fab:

Yeah, accents are all over the place this episode.
Nowadays, actors have dialect coaches. Back in the day, you just pretended.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:21pm

I suspect if everyone in the room thought it was passable, they just went forward.

What was Didge's motive?

When is the next Pledge Drive? Around October?

yes, the October Hellraiser.

I like the sound effects in this one
  6:25pm
Ellen Lovebug:

Terrifying
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:25pm
Austin Rich:

Yeah, the SFX are usually pretty quality.
  6:25pm
Ellen Lovebug:

Interestingly this is the scariest Box 13 so far
Avatar 6:26pm
Mr Fab:

No, the Hellraiser is the whole month. But it's a "silent" fundraiser. No long on-air pleading.
  6:26pm
Ellen Lovebug:

That anyone would want to use something like that..knowing there are followers of religions that do that kind of thing...it's scary
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:27pm
Austin Rich:

Got it! I assume we can briefly mention the link or something, then get back to the point quickly? (I'm already planning Oct for Dimestore...)
Avatar 6:27pm
Mr Fab:

Yes, exactly
  6:28pm
Ellen Lovebug:

It's sweet of Suzie to care

Coming up on my first full year here, so I'm still getting the hang of the rhythm of the year.

"Good Night, Suzie!" Ha!

Ellen Lovebug:

I wonder if Sylvia Picker was in any shows after this
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:30pm
Austin Rich:

I was trying to find more info about her, Ellen, but haven't had a lot of luck. I suspect she did some other Mayfair Productions shows... but who can say?
  6:30pm

Pretty good sound this year on The Scarlet Queen. Though this week we get a lot of "faux" Asian music that is... well... awkward, at best.

Feldy:

Some solid toilet paper lines, Austin
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:37pm
Austin Rich:

I usually drop a disclaimer like this during the episodes that feature The Voyage of The Scarlet Queen, but this episode features a lot of music, voices, and accents that are problematic. They were wrong then, and are wrong now, but were also a part of entertainment then. I usually don't want to cut out episodes or clean up the past for the sake of being PC, but I do want to acknowledge that this can be hard to hear at times. Perhaps this is a long was of saying: we are here for the academic entertainment value, and not to spread dim-witted views of others.

Don't worry about it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:58pm

No worries mate. Your mic was coming through, & Show could faintly be heard playing through your speakers. It's as if your line in is down for the playback.

Something was wrong with the device that was plugging into my computer. The USB port suddenly stopped recognizing the device. It was very odd. I'm due for a new computer this month... so maybe this is time.

I could hear you working the problem through your live mic. The Play could be heard in the studio speakers through your mic.

Yeah, I thought that was the case. The built in mic on the computer was sending... ooof.

I'm with you, Charles. That would be rad.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:30pm
Austin Rich:

The sound wasn't great for this episode, but I did a little EQ. It's okay-ish. Some of the Dimension X shows have really variable quality.

Sort of like my broadcasting rig!

Is this the original source for a "self-destructing" tape? Mission: Impossible didn't get on the air until 1966. This is 16 years earlier... any previous antecedents?
