THIS WEEKS SHOW:
“The Hitchhiker”
Broadcast June 21, 1946
“This may be the last thing I ever tell on earth - the last night I ever see the stars.”
Ronald Adams is traveling cross-country in his Ford V8. So apparently is the Hitchhiker, who Adams sees as he leaves the city - and who Adams continues to see at every bend in the road. What supernatural force allows the Hitchhiker to beat Adams along the route to California? What does he want with Adams? “Helloo! Helloo!” wails the Hitchhiker. Adams, and you too, will be too scared acknowledge his pleas in this bloodcurdling tale of suspense.
SHOULD YOU DRIVE ON PAST THE HITCHHIKER? YOUR SANITY AND LIFE DEPEND ON IT.

Ladies and Gentlemen of Radio Land:
>> Stefan - Britt Reid
~> A stunning performance as the laid back publisher, the trigger happy gas gun wielding Green Hornet, and the I’m-Infinitley-More-British-Than-You Harold Pennyworth III!
Derek-Kato/Sgt/Newsboy: The master of accents managed to play the roles of a Japanese valet, an Irish Cop, a slightly feminine newsboy, and a black invisible man expertly. We still don’t know what his real voice sounds like.
>> Kofi - Bolton/Kegler
~> At one point during the broadcast we in the sound room all looked up and said “Is he talking to himself?!” Awesome job, I still don’t know how you managed to talk to yourself that well, its kind of freaky! You off the beam!
>> Erin - Manheim
~> Germany has never been more sexy or dangerous. Not only is your German accent and character acting incredible but so is your ability to shout out the most convolutedly written sentences regarding bodies by windows in trunks!
>> Jessie - Edy Lowry
~> Ed Lowry is clearly nowhere near as cool as Edy Lowry and I think the hard-nosed reporter character has been redefined!
>> Avery - Ms Case
~> An excellent job as the seemingly innocent secretary who not only knows all but whose jokes yielded that maniachal yachting laughter from Britt Reid that we will never forget.
>> Sarah - Sound
~> You did a great job, especially for your first time. You were pretty much asked to do an insane job and you pulled it off very well. I am going to officially hire you to change my CDs when I am listening to music.
>> Rowan - Sound
~> From the body bags to the shoes to the blackjack (whatever that is) awesome job with all the manual sound affects, next week we will try and get a real car in the studio!
And finally, and most importantly…
>> Greg - Director
~> Greg, our fabulous director, gave The Green Hornet all the gusto and silliness he deserves in a hilarious and brilliant show.
