Listener comments!
	👻 7:08pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	9:00pm Imaginos: Ahoy!
	9:01pm asheville jon: I'm here early, woo hoo!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:00 Yay! Nice to see you again!
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ asheville jon @9:01 Nice! Hopefully our presentation is just what the Dr. Ordered.
	9:02pm Webhamster Henry: Time for the Chairman of the Board to get his clock cleaned.
	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:02 Yeah! Any second know, he'll get knocked unconscious... I suspect.
	👻 9:03pm yerfriendpaul: Hey Austin, everyone!
	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:03 Hooray! Now we can really have some fun. Thanks for joining us!
	👻 9:05pm WR: Hi yerfriendpaul, WHH, Jon, Austin.
	👻 9:05pm yerfriendpaul: I didn’t know Sinatra acted in radio shows! This is fantastic
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:05 WR! Yay!
	👻 9:05pm yerfriendpaul: Hey WR!
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: "The Hag At Bay" is probably a play on, "The Stag At Bay," a very famous painting. www.rct.uk...
	👻 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:05 I think this is his primary role as a lead in a show, but he was all over radio as a guest. This particular show was made between his early fame and his later acting career, so it was sort of a leap-pad to his Hollywood films. (He was in movies earlier, but he started to get star status after, "From Here to Eternity.")
	👻 9:07pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:06 yes, several knowledgeable wise cracks in the script.
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:07 For sure!
	9:09pm Imaginos: He collects Tupperware lids from tag sales
	👻 9:10pm yerfriendpaul: Chili and lemon meringue pie. That can’t be a good mix in your stomach
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:10 I didn't even think about that! Ha!
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: Who had "13 After" for when Rocky would get knocked out?
	9:13pm Webhamster Henry: Inflation calculator says 50K in 1953 is 576,383.90 in 2023
	👻 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:13 That's a lotta moolah!
	9:14pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:13 The bets are who gets knocked out first: Rocky or Slate?
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:14 I like that kind of gambling!
	9:17pm Imaginos: Thud
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: Twice in one episode! I hope Rocky doesn't get brain damage.
	👻 9:17pm yerfriendpaul: Love the sound effects
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:17 Yeah. I find the foley FX for this era to be really evocative.
	9:24pm Mike Rogers: Hey Austin san!
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:24 Mike Rogers! Nice to see you in the chat!
	9:25pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy.
	9:26pm Webhamster Henry: The Black Bird!!!
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:25 Sleep well! See ya next time.
	9:26pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:26 Thank you
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:26 This is sort of a take on the Maltese Falcon, in a way.
	👻 9:27pm yerfriendpaul: Good stuff!! I knew ol’ Rocky would get himself outta that pinch
	9:27pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 I don't know what time it is!!!! You guys switched the other day right, so am I one hour ahead or 16 hours behind? ARRRGGGHHHH!
	9:28pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:26 In case you get to Lux Radio Theatre: archive.org...
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:27 Everything's topsy turvy!
	👻 9:28pm yerfriendpaul: Ooh, Ed Begley Jr’s Dad?
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:28 I believe so.
	👻 9:29pm yerfriendpaul: Nice! I’m a fan of EBJr
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:28 Yes! That one is great. I will probably play it on the show, someday.
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: There were already TV shows in the early 50's, and plenty of stars were being asked to do TV. So radio had a particular incentive to get stars for the leads in their shows, so they could try to retain relevance as TV was ascending. Both Sinatra and Bacall / Bogart were good gets for radio, and both shows were popular while they were on. In Sinatra's case, once his contract was up, he was happy to do more film instead. But Bogart and Bacall owned part of the production company that made Bold Venture, and their days coming in to do voices were fairly easy. (Reports say that Bogart just drank all day, and they would record show after show after show while he did.)
	👻 9:41pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 I can’t imagine drinking while recording the shows. I’d be slurring every other word
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:41 Yeah, I have no idea how he did it. But apparently, he really liked to drink, and got pretty good at it.
	👻 9:42pm yerfriendpaul: Ha ha! Practice!
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:42 When I was young, I was "pretty good" at drinking too, but it never stopped being obvious I was drunk.
	9:43pm Mike Rogers: Oh, I couldn't drink & do radio! I'd get so lazy and just fuck it! Well, yeah! Just fuck it all!
	👻 9:45pm WR: 14 minutes and Shannon hasn't been knocked out. Who wins? Hi Mike Rogers.
	9:45pm Webhamster Henry: I was waiting for the song break!
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:45 Good Question! Is it better to get knocked out quicker, and more often? Or... to play the long game?
	9:47pm Webhamster Henry: $137.50 -> $1,627.73
	👻 9:48pm yerfriendpaul: Back in college, my friend used to work late nights at a public radio station. His job was to play long prerecorded programs so he didn’t have to be on mic too often -so my friends and I would meet him at the station and we’d go into the other studio and record fake radio shows. Beers were involved. It wasn’t pretty but we had a great time
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: "I've got a shoulder you could forget on." "Wanna try the shoulder..."
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:48 College radio is full of that kind of stuff. I love it!
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: "What a Bird Brain you are." This saying came from the mis-apprehension that birds are dumb. Modern science had disproved this; brids are actually quite intelligent. But the phrase pre-dates modern science.
	9:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ WR @9:45 Hi WR san!
	9:57pm Webhamster Henry: A lotta bodies in this episode.
	👻 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:57 Bold Venture does tend to have a higher body count than a lot of other shows of the era.
	10:00pm asheville jon: Enjoying the show tonight!
	10:01pm Barno in Akron: Lurking, but present :)
	10:01pm asheville jon: Lurkers unite :)
	10:03pm asheville jon: I lurk mainly because it's easier for me to follow the storylines if i'm not gabbing away in the chat
	10:05pm Webhamster Henry: The Copperhead (movie serial) was another guy who wore a mask and beat people up.
	10:05pm Barno in Akron: I'm lurking as I design a gig poster
	10:08pm asheville jon: I'll be here for the christmas show, that'll be fun
	10:16pm asheville jon: So many element levels of level elements
	10:18pm asheville jon: Oooh, reflector elements, but are they level?
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ asheville jon @10:18 We can only hope: The Level-est.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Origin Story"" by "The Blue Beetle" I read a TON of Blue Beetle in my youth. He was in The Justice League in those days, had a solo book for a while, and he was re-envisioned in the late 80's / early 90's as a funny, quipping superhero with a ton of gadgets and money. So it was a very funny book, and therefore: for me. This show is less funny, but has plenty of action, 1940 style.
	10:24pm Webhamster Henry: COME 'N' GET ME COPPER!
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: "Dope! Marihuana Cigarettes!"
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: I do find it interesting that 95% of super-heroes in this era were cops who wanted to take crime-fighting into their own hands. Seems... relevant, given our modern world.
	10:29pm univac: Hey all! I love this! Of course it is a mysterious drug that gives Dan his power!
	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Origin Story"" by "The Blue Beetle" An interesting detail at the beginning of this story: Dan was already operating at The Blue Beetle before the start of this story, and we can assume, without the 2X secret formula that gives him his powers. So there were two eras of this characters career, which decidedly different abilities.
	10:30pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 I loved the 90's run of Blue Beetle as well!
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:29 That's a very mid-century idea: Drugs can solve all our problems!
	10:31pm univac: I love the exposition of what to expect (sound design-wise) as to when Blue Beetle appears.
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:31 Good way to train listeners.
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: Asking questions as a way of teasing next episode...
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Hello Tomorrow"" by "X-Minus One" We've heard a version of this story on our show before, back during the run of "Dimension X" episodes we aired. This version has better sound, and is slightly different. (As this version is a couple minutes shorter than the Dimension X versoin.) This story was written by George Lefferts, who normally did radio adaptations of published Sci-Fi short fiction, but in this case, decided to run with an original story. He did this a few times, but mostly, he just did adaptations.
	10:39pm asheville jon: Rich, did you ever play any Gangbusters episodes?
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: "There's my door-signal." You mean door bell?
	10:39pm Webhamster Henry: Are we not Specimen? WE ARE DEVO!
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ asheville jon @10:39 I have not. I've only heard a few myself, so I'm not too familiar with the show. Recommended?
	👻 10:41pm yerfriendpaul: Flirting while being electrocuted. That’s dedication
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:41 Yeah. You've gotta have game to pull that off.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 I guess he is devolved...
	10:43pm asheville jon: I've liked the ones i've heard. Have a couple epoisodes on an ancient cassette.
	👻 10:46pm WR: Lois Lois
	👻 10:49pm yerfriendpaul: That low down no good rotten fink!!
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: You can tell she wasn't serious. There's not way anyone I've ever dated would just agree to a wedding tomorrow. There's so much to do, first!
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: "A Robot in a tunnel? No, that's too much like Dr. Who, we can't do that."
	10:51pm AI Robot: He's dead????
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:51 Thanks for popping in, AI Robot.
	10:52pm AI Robot: I've been here... Troubles! Troubles.... I hope we are Ok now!
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:52 Me too.
	10:53pm AI Robot: The thermal emitter wouldn't coincide with the Radiometer!
	👻 10:54pm WR: No one wants to let the robot take action except the director of emotional stability. He relies on the robots.
	10:54pm univac: These people just met?
	👻 10:54pm yerfriendpaul: Run Orin! Run Lois!
	10:54pm AI Robot: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 Really? I couldn't connect with the test server.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:53 Did you call Geordi? He's usually really good at that kind of stuff.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:54 Oh dear! Let's hope you have better luck with the regular stream.
	10:55pm AI Robot: Did she just say, "I love you????" Suspicious woman! Warning! Warning!
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:54 Yeah, not too long ago.
	10:56pm AI Robot: THX 1138????
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:56 SPMN-XJ12
	10:57pm wenzo: Ooohhhh noooo… I missed another episode of DRT!!
	10:57pm wenzo: That’s what the archive is for
	10:57pm AI Robot: Are they Adam and Evie?
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:57 It's in the archive! So you're all good.
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:57 Jinx!
	10:58pm Chris Ianuzzi: ↳ AI Robot @10:57 Ai Robot. how are things?
	10:58pm AI Robot: Functionally speaking?
	10:59pm Chris Ianuzzi: ↳ AI Robot @10:58 Yes, the functions
	👻 10:59pm WR: Let's make some children!
	👻 11:00pm yerfriendpaul: Hello tomorrow!!!
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:59 Weird how often stories end that way.
	👻 11:01pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks Austin! Enjoyed the show!
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone! Stick around for Sounds From Space!
	11:01pm univac: Fun!
	11:03pm Chris Ianuzzi: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @10:59 I want to be the Director of Emotional Disability
	11:05pm Chris Ianuzzi: ↳ AI Robot @10:58 That sounds familiar
	11:54pm Chris Ianuzzi: Very Quiet Room tonight
	12:06am Chris Ianuzzi: ↳ AI Robot @10:57 AI Robot, where are our people?
