	👻 7:08pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:56pm Imaginos: Ahoy!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:56 Ah, thanks for dropping in. Rocky Fortune thanks you.
	👻 9:02pm yerfriendpaul: Hello Austin, everyone!
	9:02pm Webhamster Henry: Back on the air!
	9:02pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:01 He should bow. The guy who's gonna slug him might miss.
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:02 Good to see you on a Monday, yerfriendpaul! Hopefully Frank Sinatra was part of your plans this evening.
	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:02 Webhamster Henry! Thank you, thank you, thank you... and... enjoy the show!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Rodeo Murder Mystery"" by "Rocky Fortune" It seems as if, on a long enough timeline, most radio shows from this era have a "cowboy" or "western" installment. Certainly, westerns were much more popular in the 40's and 50's, and it was easy enough to use the same FX and other gear to recreate a "western" vibe for your show. Candy Matson, and Box 13, had westerns stories... and I'm sure we'll find more as we keep going.
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: Who had five minutes? Rocky is out...
	9:06pm Webhamster Henry: He went down quick!
	👻 9:08pm yerfriendpaul: This is a person stew of wise-guy /cowboy jargon !
	9:09pm Webhamster Henry: Hahah Coplands Rodeo music!
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:08 A lot of pulp writers, like the people writing shows like this, were adept at changing gears, as the same writer would work a number of genres. Certainly, the mash-up and urban wise-guy and cow-poke was probably what appealed to this writer. (I think it was Lefferts, but sometimes other folks wrote this show, too.)
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:09 There's some good music jokes here and there.
	9:11pm Mr Fab: I like how the rodeo guy said that no one’s going to get into his pants.
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:11 Mr. Fab! Thanks for staying a spell. Always a pleasure to entertain you.
	👻 9:16pm yerfriendpaul: Good ol’ Sam!
	9:17pm Imaginos: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:16 Get the feeling Sam is going to be helpful
	9:17pm Mr Fab: I bet Sam the Educated Mule will solve the whodunnit.
	9:17pm Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow kids?
	👻 9:17pm yerfriendpaul: I’m counting on it!
	9:18pm Mr Fab: Mr Ed: Private Eye
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:17 This is actually a backdoor pilot for their own series. Sam The DEM! Detective Educated Mule!
	9:18pm Webhamster Henry: The old "this custard smells funny" trick...
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:17 Thanks for stopping in, Barno!
	9:19pm Mr Fab: Detective Educated Mule, haha. That needed to be a real show.
	9:19pm Webhamster Henry: Haha You wish it was Ferdinand, Rocky!
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:19 Maybe I'll try to write it for April 1st this year.
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:19 Rocky is very well read.
	9:20pm Barno in Akron: My pleasure, I have about two hours of work ahead of me tonight. It'll be fun to listen to some Dimestore Radio Theatre whilst
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:18 I would watch this, too!
	👻 9:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:17 Sam should meet the Frontier Gentleman.
	9:21pm Imaginos: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:18 The custard smells funny because someone was dipping fish fingers in it
	9:22pm Mr Fab: Then there was Raymond Chandler’s least popular character, Phillip Marlin: Private Fish.
	9:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:21 I should introduce Vulturophane to the Frontier Gentleman
	👻 9:23pm yerfriendpaul: Ringo is pure evil!
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:22 I have a feeling that's one of those books that's popular in Schools.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:23 Yeah, unlike his Beatle namesake. (Unless I've been wrong all these years?)
	9:24pm Webhamster Henry: Chekhov's Mule!
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:24 Chekhov's Lesser Known Laws...
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Rodeo Murder Mystery"" by "Rocky Fortune" So this script was NOT by George Lefferts - who wrote most of the series, and created it - but it was written by his writing partner, Earnest Kinoy, who PRIMARILY wrote Sci-Fi, but in this case, did the wise-guy / cow-poke mash-up.
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 We've heard a lot of Kinoy scripts; he did a lot of adaptations for "Dimension X" and "X-Minus One," and he occasionally turned in original stories / scripts for that show. It was nice to hear him work in another genre.
	9:30pm Imaginos: I wonder what would happen if the crew of the Bold Venture ran across Imaginos and Desdinova on the Plutonia
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:30 Hard to say, but I have a feeling you could write that one!
	9:35pm univac: Hello, all!
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:35 univac! What a delight. Thanks for poppin' in.
	👻 9:37pm yerfriendpaul: Ha ha, gorgeously rich
	9:37pm Imaginos: Pity murder disqualifies insurance in most cases
	9:39pm univac: Hello, Austin! Here for a bit for some Bold Venture!
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:37 Seriously. One of the many reasons I haven't murdered anyone yet.
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:39 Hard to resist the B&B combo.
	9:40pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 That and you're a good person
	9:41pm wenzo: Howdee howdee AR & Radio people’s everywhere!
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: Looks like the stream reset! Sorry about that.
	9:41pm Mr Fab: This is as much a comedy show as anything. The Tim character reminds me of Manuel from “Fawlty Towers.”
	9:41pm wenzo: *peoples
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @9:41 wenzo! Pull up a chair and stay a while.
	9:41pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:41 Or worst attempt at subliminal advertising
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:41 At least we're not having ice-storm style connection issues, but damn... what is wrong with our service?
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:41 Bold Venture is sort of a dark comedy. There's crime and murder... but you know the heroes will be okay, and the banter is really want we crave.
	9:45pm Mr Fab: When the music jumps in for a second, it kinda makes me jump. Wake up!
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:45 Yeah, the interruptions are starting to get annoying. I need to talk to my service provider - as useless as that probably is - to see if they can improve things.
	9:52pm univac: Gotta split. Thx for the Bold Ventures, Austin!
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:52 Thanks for poppin' in!
	9:58pm Imaginos: Sometime soon, Austin, I want to pin down a time for working on the next part of Lost Christobel.
	9:59pm Barno in Akron: Awe shucks, thanks Austin :)
	10:00pm wenzo: thank YOU
	👻 10:01pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @9:58 Yes! We'll get that on the calendar soon! Have a house guest here in town and we're tuned in!
	10:03pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @10:01 Excellent. Hope you and your guest are happy
	10:09pm Imaginos: There's a variety show episode, don't remember which, that features Nelson Eddie singing The Owl and the Bobcat
	👻 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:09 That sounds interesting!
	10:11pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:10 It is. Especially the vocalizations he does. Very hard to do
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: At this point, they're discussing "From Here To Eternity." So just prior to this point in his career is when he was working on Rocky Fortune, which is not included in this doc in any way.
	10:16pm wenzo: Did I miss the segment about his mafia buddies
	10:17pm wenzo: Or is that not covered in this doc
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:16 They sort of don't talk about that, either. But that is mentioned a fair amount in the Corina Longworth podcast, "You Must Remember This," which has at least two different audio documentaries about Frank's life.
	10:18pm wenzo: 👍
	10:20pm wenzo: Idk why I ask… Im not one who romanticized those kind of people, Im sure they were horrible. Can’t help but have a certain morbid fascination with such characters tho.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:20 I as well. I think I've listened to several "Rat Pack" docs, and I'm not sure I would like any of them, but I'm completely fascinated.
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: There's a few "glitchy" audio elements to a number of Blue Beetle episodes, including some artifacts of the episodes being transferred from one medium to another. I think someone was recording this off of the radio, when someone else was playing their transcription discs, and that is the version that someone has uploaded to archive.org. So there's a number of points of failure, in terms of getting a pristine recording.
	10:25pm Webhamster Henry: Midget antenna on my helmet - with a 5 pound battery to power it!
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:25 I once wrote a song called, "Seven Pound Beacon," about an astronaut that is stranded on a planet, and has to carry around a seven pound beacon, transmitting his location out into space, and it's starting to get heavy...
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: Foreshadowing Next Episode!
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: You can hear the tape warbling...
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: (Some of those audio issues with the Blue Beetle I was talking about.)
	10:31pm Imaginos: Now why don't we have encouraging words like that today
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:31 Hard to say. I'm sure we could blame each other, though.
	10:33pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:32 Nah. We blame each other too much already. Our own flaws are our own responsibility
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Nightfall"" by "X-Minus One" We've heard this one before, and it is one of the more famous installments of X-Minus One. Nightfall was issued on vinyl, and among Asimov's stories, it's one of my faves. I do like that it was broadcast in December... one of the darkest months of the year.
	10:34pm Imaginos: I'm going to get some sleep. See you tomorrow
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:34 Sleep well! Until next time.
	10:36pm wenzo: That’s what you get for threatening astronomers ya punk
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:36 You know those astronomers roll deep. Don't mess with that gang.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: This story sort of hinges on the idea that this race of people hasn't spent any time in darkness. How do they sleep? They are depicted like regular humans in every other way... and part of the story is this idea that these people will go crazy if they experience darkness. Certainly they sleep in some way?
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: Darkness is described as an "Instinctive" human fear. Is that true?
	👻 10:46pm yerfriendpaul: Good stuff, this darkness
	10:48pm Mr Fab: Was that characters name “Theremin”?
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:48 Yes it was!
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: Like a lot of Asimov stories, there's a lot of drinking in them. This is also a sub-theme in "X-Minus One" and "Dimension X" stories, too, but Asimov seems to enjoy having his characters get drunk.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: Getting near the end of the show. Thanks everyone for listening! We'll see you again next week.
	👻 10:56pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you Austin! Enjoying this very much. I should start dimming the lights in my room to follow along with the story
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:56 That's a good idea!
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: Personally, I enjoy the night. Good night!
	11:02pm Mr Fab: Good nightfall, Austin!
	11:14pm wenzo: Thanks Austin!

	👻 9:02pm yerfriendpaul: Hello Austin, everyone!
	9:02pm Webhamster Henry: Back on the air!
	9:02pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:01 He should bow. The guy who's gonna slug him might miss.
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:02 Good to see you on a Monday, yerfriendpaul! Hopefully Frank Sinatra was part of your plans this evening.
	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:02 Webhamster Henry! Thank you, thank you, thank you... and... enjoy the show!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Rodeo Murder Mystery"" by "Rocky Fortune" It seems as if, on a long enough timeline, most radio shows from this era have a "cowboy" or "western" installment. Certainly, westerns were much more popular in the 40's and 50's, and it was easy enough to use the same FX and other gear to recreate a "western" vibe for your show. Candy Matson, and Box 13, had westerns stories... and I'm sure we'll find more as we keep going.
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: Who had five minutes? Rocky is out...
	9:06pm Webhamster Henry: He went down quick!
	👻 9:08pm yerfriendpaul: This is a person stew of wise-guy /cowboy jargon !
	9:09pm Webhamster Henry: Hahah Coplands Rodeo music!
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:08 A lot of pulp writers, like the people writing shows like this, were adept at changing gears, as the same writer would work a number of genres. Certainly, the mash-up and urban wise-guy and cow-poke was probably what appealed to this writer. (I think it was Lefferts, but sometimes other folks wrote this show, too.)
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:09 There's some good music jokes here and there.
	9:11pm Mr Fab: I like how the rodeo guy said that no one’s going to get into his pants.

	👻 9:16pm yerfriendpaul: Good ol’ Sam!

	9:21pm Imaginos: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:18 The custard smells funny because someone was dipping fish fingers in it
	9:22pm Mr Fab: Then there was Raymond Chandler’s least popular character, Phillip Marlin: Private Fish.
	9:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:21 I should introduce Vulturophane to the Frontier Gentleman
	👻 9:23pm yerfriendpaul: Ringo is pure evil!
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:22 I have a feeling that's one of those books that's popular in Schools.
