Re-Imagined Radio premiers this two-part cinematic radio story by Jerrel McQuen and Marc Rose from our Guest Produced series. In Part 1, Spencer Knightbridge is transformed into a quixotic one-man holocaust, bent on avenging horrible wrongs done him while growing up in Quayment's Neon Bowery. In Part 2, Knightbridge discovers that the brutal ghosts of his past have robbed him of all that he hoped to be or love. Will it be Vengeance? Retribution? Or, Epiphany when an atrocity bomb from Quaymet’s ancient past redefines the meaning of fallout?

Re-Imagined Radio presents WRW Retrospective Redux as a memoriam to Sam A. Mowry, who died July 20, 2024, in Portland, Oregon. Mowry, founder and director of Willamette Radio Workshop (WRW), was a leader of the theatrical, voice acting, and audio storytelling communities. We revisit our earlier WRW Retrospective and sample from Mowry's appearances in several Re-Imagined Radio episodes. Mentor. Friend. Sam had a big voice. And a big heart. He is greatly missed.

"All we want are the facts, ma'am."

Re-Imagined Radio celebrates Dragnet, the real-life police procedural, and Jack Webb, as Detective Sgt. Joe Friday, who defined and was defined by this radio series. We sample from One Out of Seven, The Jack Webb Show, Pat Novak, For Hire, Johnny Madero, Pier 23, and Jeff Regan, Investigator, all pre-Dragnet radio shows where Webb honed his character and acting style. We end with "The City Hall Bombing," an early episode of Dragnet to showcase Webb as a great radio storyteller.

Re-Imagined Radio celebrates Johnny Dollar, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, the man with the action-packed expense account, by sampling from "The McCormick Matter" episode starring Bob Bailey, considered the best of the eight Johnny Dollar actors during the series' fourteen-year run on CBS. "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar," and especially Bailey's portrayal, are considered one of the best detective series heard on radio.

Re-Imagined Radio samples from Box 13 and The Damon Runyon Theater, both offered by Paramount movie star Alan Ladd's Mayfair Productions, as syndicated radio programs. Both are significant examples of compelling, immersive radio storytelling.

Each episode of Box 13 stars Ladd as Dan Holiday, a newspaper reporter turned mystery/adventure novel writer who gets ideas for his writing by advertising in the newspaper. "Adventure wanted. Will go any place, do anything." We sample from the first episode, the one where Holiday (Ladd) responds to a letter from a woman needing help confronting her blackmailer of five years.

The Damon Runyon Theater adapts American newspaper and short story writer Damon Runyon's stories to radio. Each episode is set along Broadway, the famous street in New York. We sample from the first episode, "Tobias the Terrible," the one about a meek little man who wants to meet some underworld characters and winds up as one of them!
