MIKE
Cincinnati together. During their
return trip, Bob Axley and Jim Adams
began discussing
Once the pair returned home, Jim
contacted Rusty Wolfe and
asked him for access to his
business’ mailing list. Both Jim and
Bob thought the best way to
Chattanooga Airwaves” to RJR’s
clientele that lived in Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia. The newsletter
features stories relating to old radio
shows, stars and other entertainers
of the era and eventually, Cassette
and CD library rental listings.
The fourth or fifth issue of
“Chattanooga Airwaves” also listed
a date for the first meeting of anyone
interested. Ten people showed up
and thirteen years later, the club is
still thriving. At the meetings, club
members bring in their newest
memorabilia finds, talk about the
newest old time radio shows that
have surfaced, radio shows that
have been discovered.
Sometimes we even have guest
speakers. One was long time
Chattanooga radio
personality, Johnny Owens who
worked underneath the name J.
Michael Scott. Another guest was
Dr. Peter Pringle, a recently retired
communications professor who once
wrote news copy for the BBC.
After the guest speaker finishes,
there’s always a Q&A, and then
we take a journey back to the past
and enjoy an old time radio show
from the clubs vast library. Then we
adjourn for refreshments and more
talk of old radio and all the new
additions to our always
growing collections.
According to Jim, The Chattanooga
Old Time Radio Club sends out
between 30 to 50 copies of
“Chattanooga Airwaves” each
mailing and has around 25 regular
members.

Suspense - The Lost Special, Sept 30, 1943, AFRS Pgm 24
Filed under: drama, Suspense, AFRS — randsesotericotr @ 5:42

On this blog and podcast, I’ve focused on presenting original
transcription discs from my collection, most all of programs that are
not in circulation among collectors or are very uncommon. Thanks
to an estate auction on ebay, I’m pleased to offer a “world premiere”
of sorts for the Web of an elusive and highly sought-after program.
Unheard publicly since September 30, 1943, we bring you Orson
Welles starring in “The Lost Special” a “tale well calculated to keep
in you … Suspense!”. Originally broadcast on the CBS radio
network, but now lost, the version heard here was distributed by the
Armed Forces Radio Service as program 24 in the “Suspense”
series.
