The intention of this blog is to bring awareness to the almost forgotten media of American theatrical radio. To bring something old and new, in this technological age, to those who pass by and take the opportunity to listen to a media that has seen better days in the United States.

Of all of the programs, genre’s, styles and series, I have chosen one simple theme that truly showcases the talents, fun, and entertainment they provide: Halloween.

Beginning October 1, 2009 until Halloween, I will post one show per day in celebration of the season, as well as the entertainment these timeless performances provide.

Enjoy.

Day 11: The Life of Riley...

The Life of Riley featured the comic misadventures of riveter Chester A. Riley. Like many other radio fathers, Riley was a devoted family man with a talent for flying off the handle and a penchant for being worse.

With 2 days before Halloween, Riley attempts to scare the beegeebees's out of his wife but fails miserably. But there's much more he can do to celebrate his favorite holiday!

Riley speaks with his son, Junior, who has a sudden fascination/fear about ghosts. Riley does his best to show interest in his son's worries, and does his best to show him that there is no such thing as ghosts.

However, Riley soon shares his son's fears.

In this episode, titled "Haunted House," Riley finds himself in a haunted house on Halloween. Only thing is, he doesn't want to be there. Junior takes a bet that he'd go in with his best friend, thus he picks his Riley.

There are some good laughs in this episode.
