Listener comments!
	👻 8:08pm Austin Rich: Good Hello-ween!
	9:01pm Charles: Happy halloween !!
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: Nice to see you, Charles! We're wearing costumes... and reading scripts!
	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: Dexter Roland is a character that I created when I was in Jr. High / High School. He's made a number of radio appearances, but it made sense to put him in the Marcus Little universe, as you'll find out as you listen...
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: The ideas in this story have been floating around in my head since those early Dexter Roland days, so to finally see it materialized like this really means a lot to me. Hopefully, it works for you, too.
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: The Announcer is Travis Doane.
	9:05pm Heather: Happy Halloween!! 🎃
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: Marcus Little is played by Jason Ramey, a local improv comedian, writer, and radio personality.
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: Heather! Nice to see you in the chat!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: Heather plays a role that is coming up soon!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: Marcus' secretary is played by Jessica Ramey.
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: Sara Lund is a detective reference, and an Unwound reference.
	9:07pm Heather: I'm tuned in and excited! Sounding great!
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: I carry notecards with me going everywhere, usually.
	9:08pm Mr Fab: Hey Austin and a cast of thousands! “The seedier side of Century City,” that’s quite funny. It’s just a bunch of high-rise office buildings and an affluent outdoor mall. I wish it had a seedy side!
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: You can tell I've never been to Century City. It's a name I sort of made up... my version of Century City is more like LA from The Big Sleep.
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: In case it wasn't obvious, this is my tribute to, "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" Radio program.
	9:12pm Charles: Hello Heather 🎃 Thanks for your entire october programming Austin. Halloween is my favorite time of the year and the dimestore and mid-valley episodes were a great addition to the fall season.
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: Ahhhh, that's sweet, Charles. I guess I sort of like Halloween a little bit, too. (We have 12 totes of decorations, and collect vintage blowmolds.)
	9:13pm Heather: Hi Charles!
	👻 9:14pm Austin Rich: That commercial voice is Jesse from The Epoxies, The BloodTypes, and The Automatics.
	9:15pm Mr Fab: WFMU needs $9,900 within 3 hours. waves arms Go, listeners! Go, listeners!
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: Mort Linger is played by Sean Royal, of The Ether Creeps. He also wrote the music for this commercial, too.
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: Comedian Geoff Parks is the announcer, and is also a local musician and podcaster.
	9:16pm Mr Fab: He does an excellent commercial announcer voice.
	9:16pm Krys O.: Hooray!
	👻 9:19pm Austin Rich: Heather, since you are in the chat: do you have any comments on recording your parts for this?
	👻 9:21pm Austin Rich: The story for this is "loosely inspired by" the story, "Death And The Compass," by Jorge Borges, a "sort of" detective story. But there's a lot of other influences, too.
	9:21pm Krys O.: $9313 and dropping
	👻 9:21pm Austin Rich: "GIVE TILL IT HURTS," to quote Space Ghost.
	9:23pm Heather: I did the tracks so long ago, it's hard to remember! Poor old brain. But I do remember it was... strange... just reading my lines and guessing on what inflection to use, you know? Without hearing how the other lines were delivered?
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: That was the hardest part, assembling this remotely: not having reference tracks to listen to. But it sort of worked...
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: "Fred & Barney" are Dash Thompson, local comedian, and Travis Doane, who was the best man at my wedding.
	9:26pm Heather: It totally worked great! You and everyone did a FANTASTIC job!! It was and is an honor to be part of the cast!!
	9:27pm wenzo toad: Shoot I missed the beginning… gonna have to check this out in the archive
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: Nice to see you in the chat, wenzo!
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: Geoff Parks also doubles as the voice of the ghost. I have always loved the gimmick that one person understands the nonsense that some one is saying, but the audience has to infer most of it.
	👻 9:31pm Austin Rich: Captain Amazing might be the next character that gets spun out of this script.
	👻 9:31pm Austin Rich: And that's the voice of Tim Maloney! Doing the Parson Sanders Cafe voice.
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: Musician Brendan Murry did all the music for this program, who does a lot of music for movies he works on with Matt Orefice.
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: Save for the song that Betty sings, coming up.
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: Itty is a reference to the "Green Lantern" comics.
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: "Ape" is a reference to the comic book, "Angel & The Ape," a detective comic where a woman named Angel and an ape named Ape solve crimes.
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: "ABS" is a reference to Negativland, the fictional radio station that they used to reference on Over The Edge.
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: Betty is played by the local musician and comedian, Emma Pace Jonas, and she was really game for doing both the singing and the acting. I was excited too, because she really delivered.
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: The music for Betty's song was written and performed by Matt Orefice, who originally asked me to write and produce this show.
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: Merlin & Greg are played by Little Fyodor and The Weatherman, our celebrity guest stars!
	9:47pm Barno in Akron: Seat bee sate
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: He was so game to do this, and he was fun to work with.
	9:48pm drowsy: whoa - i didn't know you created your own the old-timey radio stories. I enjoyed following the old recordings with you but this is next level. Great!
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: Nice to see you in the chat, drowsy!
	👻 9:55pm WR: Lost and Found
	9:58pm drowsy: hearing this made me hit the pledgy button for a wee one-timer. Which is a less rude than it sounds....
	👻 10:04pm Austin Rich: These "monologues" that both Dexter Roland and Marcus Little deliver in this show are inspired by the monologues that Phillip Marlowe's character always delivers at the end of each episode of his show.
	10:15pm drowsy: I liked that dirt-nap jive
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: A lot of these commercials are parodies of obscure old time radio commercials. The idea of commercials directed toward a specific gender - and being creepy about it - was common.
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: "The Old Pink Dog Saloon" is a Douglas Adams reference.
	10:18pm Mr Fab: I've been jumping up to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters, and checking out the adorables in their li'l costumes, so I have no idea what's happening in the story.But no matter, hard-boiled dialogue is it's own reward.
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: The backing music here is a "Spike Jones" soundalike, that Matt Orefice recorded.
	10:19pm Mr Fab: The Weatherman! Little Fyodor!
	10:20pm Mr Fab: I'm all about Spike Jones soundalikes. Is it available anywhere?
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: Both were so game for this, it was a lot of fun to work with them.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I'll send you the files.
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: "We get offers!" always cracks me up.
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: Here's Heather's other appearance.
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: "Jonni Thunder" is the name of a detective character from a comic book that I quite loved, but didn't last long... probably because it had a female lead.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: More Negativland references. Once I cast The Weatherman, I put in a lot more Negativland references.
	10:30pm Heather: I'm still hanging out enjoying the show! Great stuff!!
	👻 10:31pm Austin Rich: Of course your scenes are great!
	10:31pm Heather: I did ok! Everyone truly knocked it out of the park!!
	10:31pm Mr Fab: Heather is KILLIN' IT.
	10:33pm Heather: Thank you, Mr Fab!! It was so fun to be a part of this!
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: Heather writes and performs a sketch every week on her show with Ross, her co-host, that is about to have it's 500th episode soon. Their show is "The Sound of Tomorrow."
	10:34pm drowsy: I am imagining that Brain Chippendale from Lightning Bolt is the guy who moans and mumbles, complete with headdress.
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: That is REALLY funny, drowsy.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: After all of that, Marcus is still worried about getting paid.
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: A changing of the guard.
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: Candy Matson is the name of a great female radio detective that, unfortunately, only has a few episodes that survived into the modern era. I'll run them all on this show, eventually.
	10:40pm drowsy: Heather is good. Amazed at the output from this crew.
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: Radio don't make itself!
	10:41pm drowsy: Like my mom always said: a dead dick is the only one you _can_ trust.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: In this universe, Dean Martin played Marcus Little for a year.
	👻 10:42pm WR: Really great. Austin. Cast, production. Great story. Dialog.
	10:45pm Mr Fab: Little Fyodor and The Weatherman need their own show. They're a great combo. The new Abbot and Costello.
	10:46pm Mr Fab: "From the station you grew up with" LOL!! Casey Kasem, we salute you.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: I agree, Mr. Fab! The Weatherman has offered to do more voices for me, but we've had trouble connecting, since he's been doing so many shows with Negativland.
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: I get this song endlessly stuck in my head... an earworm that was stuck with me while I was writing this. So I had to include it somehow.
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: There is a 10 volume movie set, a series of films, that Matt Orefice released, where Marcus Little is the radio show that different characters in three different movies in that series are listening to.
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: So we all got imdb credits for doing this.
	10:55pm Heather: A friend I hadn't heard from in a while texted a few weeks ago, asking if I'd been in a movie. It took a sec but I remembered, yes, I was! She'd been telling someone about me and Googled me and found my IMDB credit and was, like, whaaaat? But no, that was me!
	10:55pm drowsy: Really good writing!! It is so risky to into Hammett-Chandlerland and you hit the bullseye.
	10:56pm Heather: Happy Halloween, everyone, and thanks for the awesome show, Austin!
	👻 10:57pm WR: Thank you for putting lots of info and context about the show in the comments.
	10:58pm Mr Fab: and with an hour left in the Hellraiser, we still need $6,963 ..
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone! That was fun to hear again!
