WFMU: Dimestore Radio Theater with Austin Rich: Playlist from August 21, 2023

Listener comments!
	👻 5:47pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	7:41pm Mike Rogers: Hey! Where is everyone!?
	👻 7:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @7:41 Probably trying to stay cool... it's hot in the Mid-Valley.
	7:49pm Mike Rogers: It's super hot here too.
	8:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Was hot here, too. Though I suspect not as bad
	👻 8:59pm Austin Rich: It seems like it's hot everywhere. And we've got smoke, too, from nearby fires... so it's just not pleasant outside today.
	9:00pm MHLee: What do i get tonight
	9:01pm AI Robot: Hi Austin san!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: Howdy, everyone! Thanks for joining us this week. We have another "Rocky Fortune" for you, as a way to get started...
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @9:01 Nice to see you, Mr. AI!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @9:00 Ol' Blue Eyes himself!
	9:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Our cold reading is getting closer.
	9:04pm Webhamster Henry: Nice Chaz Addams namedrop there Frankie!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: Sinatra wasn't precisely a stranger to radio, but he hadn't led his own show until the 1953. He would guest on other programs, often belt out a tune, and in some cases, to a skit or scene, maybe an interview. But in the early 50's he could use a regular paycheck, and, "From Here To Eternity," was still a bit away. So this would fill a strange hole in his career.
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:04 There's a lot of good references like that in this show.
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:02 Indeed!
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Double Indemnity"" by "Rocky Fortune" Rocky gets knocked out a LOT in this episode.
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: (And a lot, in general.)
	👻 9:07pm Austin Rich: "Rocco Fortunato" is Rocky's full name.
	9:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Reminds me ofso many mental hospital horror stories
	9:08pm Webhamster Henry: I'm putting a pail on my head in solidarity.
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:08 "It was the fashion, at the time."
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:08 Yeah, this one is a bit formulaic. I can think of a couple from other shows that are similar to this one.
	9:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:09 You ever read the EC comics episode where the woman is struck mute after witnessing a murder?
	👻 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:11 Rings a bell, but I can't place it from memory.
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: Strange women are always trying to kiss him, wherever he goes. When you look like Frank Sinatra, it's sort of a hazard.
	9:13pm Webhamster Henry: Haha skinny Frankie joke!
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: Was that a dig at "The Thin Man" film? Probably not...
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:13 Zing.
	9:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:12 Screaming Madness everywhere.
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: "I land in a bramble patch, natch." I love the writing on this show.
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: As mentioned before, George Lefferts created this show, one of this post-"Dimension X" projects. Lefferts mostly published Sci-Fi, but he did try his hand at noir and detective style stories, now and then. This show sort of proved that he always had that mode in him, and it only gets better as the series progresses. Ernest Kinoy - worked with Lefferts on Dimension X - wrote with Lefferts on this show, too, as did a few other writers: Norm Sickel, Robert Senadella and Doc Sanford.
	9:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Emergency baby. Lol!
	9:23pm Webhamster Henry: Blue serge pun, that went by quick.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: In a rare move for shows at the time, Rocky Fortune was aired as a "sustaining series," in other words, without a sponsor, or funding. So, even though I put ads in this show... that is NOT how it was heard, originally. However, when Sinatra won the Academy Award for, "From Here To Eternity," and it became clear he would be busy with film, it was easy to cancel this show, as it didn't really earn them any money to air it.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:21 Seriously!
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:23 Yeah, some of the dialog really zips past.
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: On the nights that this show aired, Dranet would open the hour, followed by five minutes of news, and then Rocky Fortune. It was a VERY popular hour of radio, when it was on.
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: Sorry, "Dragnet." Damn my spelling tonight.
	9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:26 Not to be confused with St George and the DragonNet.
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:29 Or Mathnet, for that matter.
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: I get this transition music from "Bold Venture" stuck in my head all the time now. It's pretty catchy.
	9:38pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: He sounds like Cameron on Ferris
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: At this stage, I've sort of run out of factoids about "Bold Venture" to share with ya'll, and I think we've told all the Bogart and Bacall stories that we know. But we'll be airing Bold Venture for a good part of next year, and I hope everyone is still as into the show as I am.
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: "The money makes a happy bulge in your pocket." Ooo-la-la!
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:38 A little bit!
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: Another journalist, silenced. This story is suddenly relevant, in the modern age.
	9:42pm Charles: I'll never get tired of Bold Venture.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:42 Hell yeah. They're back and forth is dreamy.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: Their, pardon. I get my "there"s confused.
	9:45pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Quipping couple coffee seems to have just the right level of bitterness.
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: Unlike "Bold Venture," there are only 25 episodes of "Rocky Fortune." (The star got too famous.) So we'll run out of that show sometime next year, probably in the spring or early summer.
	9:46pm Charles: I like all the shows. I'm glad we have weekly OTR on the station. Thank you, Austin.
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:45 It even recommends on the packaging that you shouldn't use sugar or cream. Weird.
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:46 I have been toying with the idea of a regular show like this for years, but instead, I would just slip shows into my weekly show occasionally. (I think I started doing that around 2009. But I'm glad I started doing this weekly. There's a lot of shows I've missed, and would love to hear with everyone.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: That water sounded like it was carbonated.
	9:49pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:48 Seltzer or tonic?
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:49 Probably Seltzer, but who can say? I'm not a professional or clown or sodajerk, so I'm no expert.
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: "Alright, I'm frightened." Damn, she is so cool.
	9:53pm Charles: I'm already looking forward to the october programming. I love that stuff.
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: King Moses, mentioning that he makes up the rooms, and the commenting on making "something hot" for Slate, makes you realize how instrumental King Moses is to the day-to-day lives of our heroes.
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:53 I was working on some of that earlier today!
	9:54pm Webhamster Henry: Shannon gets knocked out again...
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:54 I really should have started keeping count. That would be a funny statistic to know.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: A Conveyer Belt safety tip, AND some entertainment. This show has everything.
	9:56pm Webhamster Henry: Another Bold Venture foley challenge.
	👻 9:57pm Austin Rich: A bondage joke, even!
	10:00pm Charles: You know that moment when Shannon gets a reward and things turn silent. What if the reward is a little picture drawn by hand by Sailor. Every time.
	10:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Charles @10:00 What if all the pictures at the end were a flip book?
	10:08pm Charles: Nothing like a bit of crafting downtime between shootouts.
	👻 10:09pm Austin Rich: (We're talking about ChatGPT, of course.)
	10:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:09 What if Eliza analyzed ChatGPT?
	👻 10:11pm Austin Rich: I hope Brian and Heather are listening.
	👻 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:11 I was wondering if anyone has had them talk to each other.
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: I was worried that, by the time this part would air, that the strike would be over, and I'd have to cut this. But... the strike's still happening! Which... is insane?!?
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: You put a few nerds in a room together... sooner or later they start talking about having sex with Data. It's hard to avoid, really.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: Second Charles Aadams reference tonight!
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: Charles Addams, pardon.
	10:25pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:17 I created a video crossover between Max Headroom and Star Trek several years ago
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:25 Nice! I do love that episode of Next Generation, where Matt Frewer is the guest. But a crossover would have been stellar.
	10:27pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:26 m.youtube.com...
	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Mirror Of Life"" by "Chandu The Magician" As you can hear, there was a bit of a speed change in the recording. I tried my best to "mend" the recording in a way that wasn't too obtrusive. But, it's still better than the original, which was at two different speeds at the splice, and both TOO SLOW.
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:27 Hugh!
	👻 10:31pm Austin Rich: Cliffhanger!
	10:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 I though the lines matched well
	10:31pm wenzo: Howdee!
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:31 Yay! It's wenzo!
	10:32pm wenzo: Yay! It’s me!
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: I don't think that address will work anymore.
	10:32pm wenzo: Damn I regret sending them all my money
	10:33pm wenzo: In that case
	10:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Love how he pronounced Los Angeles
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:32 But if they send you that money changer, you can start turning pennies into dimes!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Martian Death March"" by "X-Minus One" This is the second time we've heard this story on the show, but the Dimension X version of this story had terrible sound, even if it is a little longer. This version is a little more tightly scripted, and sounds a lot better. While I like this story in all it's forms, this might be the best radio version.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: 1997! Everyone remembers when this happened, right?
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: This episode's narrator is talking from 2027, when Mars is developed and this death march route has a highway, commemorating it. But the narrator is flashing back to 1997, when most of the story takes place. Both time periods were well in the future in 1955, but we're in-between those spans of time, now.
	10:40pm Webhamster Henry: We filled in those Martian canals years ago.
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Martian Death March"" by "X-Minus One" So much of this story is direct commentary on the way we treated Native Americans, and plays up a bit of the mythology of the Edgar Rice Burroughs "John Carter" stories.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:40 Seemed like a good idea at the time. Like when we paved over the Redwoods.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: "I was born on Mars." Zing!
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: That father sure can teach hate.
	10:42pm AI Robot: Just finished vacuuming!
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:42 Mike Rogers makes you vacuum, too? He's really got you by the short-wires, doesn't he?
	10:48pm AI Robot: I have to play the volume really loud.... But he suspects nothing.
	10:49pm AI Robot: I've was told that my voice sounded like the spider's!
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:48 One of these days YOU should make HIM do the chores. Ha ha! Robot's Day of Revenge!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: The boy learns a painful lesson about hate...
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:49 It sort of does, doesn't it!
	10:50pm AI Robot: Great name for a robot punk band: "Robot's Day of Revenge!"
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:50 I suspect these guys are friends of yours? capturedbyrobots.com
	10:53pm AI Robot: I deny knowing them. I deny that completely! We have never met I tell you! Never!
	10:53pm Chris Ianuzzi: AI Robot, good to see you here
	10:54pm AI Robot: Hello Mr. Chris!
	10:54pm AI Robot: Yes! We are all equals and brothers!
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:53 I met them once. They were great! Seemed like that human guy was doing them a solid, for sure.
	10:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Shoe Event Horizon
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:55 I almost made a joke about that, but I changed my mind at the last minute.
	10:56pm AI Robot: X-Minus One!!!!!!!
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I'm not sure civilization is the answer.
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: Thanks for listening everyone! See ya next time!
	10:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 You too
	10:59pm AI Robot: Thanks Mr. Austin!
	11:01pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks again as the little radio gathered listeners wander off into outer space.

	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Mirror Of Life"" by "Chandu The Magician" As you can hear, there was a bit of a speed change in the recording. I tried my best to "mend" the recording in a way that wasn't too obtrusive. But, it's still better than the original, which was at two different speeds at the splice, and both TOO SLOW.
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:27 Hugh!
	👻 10:31pm Austin Rich: Cliffhanger!
	10:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 I though the lines matched well
	10:31pm wenzo: Howdee!
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:31 Yay! It's wenzo!
	10:32pm wenzo: Yay! It’s me!
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: I don't think that address will work anymore.
	10:32pm wenzo: Damn I regret sending them all my money
	10:33pm wenzo: In that case
	10:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Love how he pronounced Los Angeles
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:32 But if they send you that money changer, you can start turning pennies into dimes!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Martian Death March"" by "X-Minus One" This is the second time we've heard this story on the show, but the Dimension X version of this story had terrible sound, even if it is a little longer. This version is a little more tightly scripted, and sounds a lot better. While I like this story in all it's forms, this might be the best radio version.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: 1997! Everyone remembers when this happened, right?
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: This episode's narrator is talking from 2027, when Mars is developed and this death march route has a highway, commemorating it. But the narrator is flashing back to 1997, when most of the story takes place. Both time periods were well in the future in 1955, but we're in-between those spans of time, now.
	10:40pm Webhamster Henry: We filled in those Martian canals years ago.
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Martian Death March"" by "X-Minus One" So much of this story is direct commentary on the way we treated Native Americans, and plays up a bit of the mythology of the Edgar Rice Burroughs "John Carter" stories.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:40 Seemed like a good idea at the time. Like when we paved over the Redwoods.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: "I was born on Mars." Zing!
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: That father sure can teach hate.
	10:42pm AI Robot: Just finished vacuuming!
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:42 Mike Rogers makes you vacuum, too? He's really got you by the short-wires, doesn't he?
	10:48pm AI Robot: I have to play the volume really loud.... But he suspects nothing.
	10:49pm AI Robot: I've was told that my voice sounded like the spider's!
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:48 One of these days YOU should make HIM do the chores. Ha ha! Robot's Day of Revenge!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: The boy learns a painful lesson about hate...
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:49 It sort of does, doesn't it!
	10:50pm AI Robot: Great name for a robot punk band: "Robot's Day of Revenge!"
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:50 I suspect these guys are friends of yours? capturedbyrobots.com
	10:53pm AI Robot: I deny knowing them. I deny that completely! We have never met I tell you! Never!
	10:53pm Chris Ianuzzi: AI Robot, good to see you here
	10:54pm AI Robot: Hello Mr. Chris!
	10:54pm AI Robot: Yes! We are all equals and brothers!
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:53 I met them once. They were great! Seemed like that human guy was doing them a solid, for sure.
	10:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Shoe Event Horizon
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:55 I almost made a joke about that, but I changed my mind at the last minute.
	10:56pm AI Robot: X-Minus One!!!!!!!
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I'm not sure civilization is the answer.
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: Thanks for listening everyone! See ya next time!
	10:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 You too
	10:59pm AI Robot: Thanks Mr. Austin!
	11:01pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks again as the little radio gathered listeners wander off into outer space.
