Title: The Adventures of Jungle Jim, Volume 7 Author: Gene Stafford Narrator: full cast Format: Original Recording Length: 9 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-16 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery Publisher's Summary: Beginning with Tarzan, the pulp era was full of jungle heroes. Jungle Jim is one of the unique ones. He was not a barely- iterate, loincloth-clad tree-dwelling wild man but rather Jim Bradley, a great white hunter in the mold of heroes of earlier popular fiction such as H. Rider Haggard's Allan Quatermain and Lord John Roxton from Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, who represented the colonial view of the so-called primitive regions of the globe. This gave him a distinctive difference from your run-of-the-mill jungle man, who often knew little about civilization and was equipped with not much more than a knife in most cases. Also, his stomping grounds were located in exotic Southeastern Asia.

Title: The Adventures of Frank Race, Volume 3 Author: Joel Murcott, Buckley Angel Narrator: full cast Format: Original Recording Length: 4 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 12-29-15 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery Publisher's Summary: Frank Race is a cultured and sophisticated investigator who, in his world travels, encounters equal measures of crime, espionage, violence, and attractive but suspicious women. A dashing combination of Johnny Dollar and James Bond, Race began his professional career as a successful attorney, but, after a stint with the OSS during World War II, he found his former profession to be far too dull and predictable. Adventure had become his goal - and it quickly became his business. Heard today, The Adventures of Frank Race remains engrossing, action-packed entertainment reminiscent of shows like The Man Called X and Counterspy - Cold War-era series that say as much about the paranoia of the postwar world as they do about their audiences' love of action and suspense.

Title: The Traitor Author: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Narrator: Sir John Gielgud, Sir Ralph Richardson, Val Gielgud Format: Original Recording Length: 27 mins Language: English Release date: 07-24-15 Publisher: Divine Art Ltd Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery Publisher's Summary: Here, Holmess brother Mycroft, played by John Gielguds brother Val, enlists the help of the sleuth over some missing government documents. The episode was based on Conan Doyles story The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans. The 16 episodes of Sherlock Holmes starring Gielgud and Richardson were produced by Harry Alan Towers (1920-2009) for his"Towers of London" company. They were first broadcast on the old BBC Light Programme in 1954, and by NBC in 1955; they are still regarded by many as the definitive Holmes series. Heritage Media acquired exclusive distribution rights to the series from Towers in 1994; the series was licensed for several years with great success to Hodder Headline and reverted to Heritage at the end of 2009. The scripts were written by John Keir Cross, closely following the original stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but renaming some of them. The music for the productions was composed by Sydney Torch, with the famous violin cadenzas played by Alfredo Campoli. Other actors appearing included Robert Rietti, and John Gielguds brother Val (later Director of Drama at the BBC), who played Mycroft Holmes. Orson Welles took the part of Professor Moriarty. Quite possibly other big names on the BBC roster appeared in the series anonymously too. The recordings were carefully remastered so as not to detract from the ambience of the original performances.

Title: The Hypnotized Audience Author: The Shadow Narrator: Orson Welles Format: Original Recording Length: 29 mins Language: English Release date: 01-12-07 Publisher: Radio Spirits, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery Publisher's Summary: "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" From 1930-1954, the wealthy Lamont Cranston was one of the best-known characters on radio, using his mystical powers to fight crime. The only person who knew The Shadow's true identity was his "friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane". Through the years, The Shadow was portrayed by Frank Readick, Orson Welles, Bill Johnstone, Bret Morrison, and others. As listeners were reminded at the end of every episode, "The weed of crime bears bitter fruit. Crime does not pay! The Shadow knows!" Critic Reviews: "As one of the basic prototypes of what has come to be called Pop Art, the Shadow is unique and irreplaceable, a legend in his own time. A classic character who looms slouch hat and shoulders above all others of his kind, he is an inevitable as a guilty conscience, an unseen power that awakens within all of us our most deep-rooted fears of mortal retribution. There has never been a force quite like him." (Jim Harmon, The Great Radio Heroes)

Title: Big Tooth Author: Dragnet Format: Original Recording Length: 29 mins Language: English Release date: 05-25-07 Publisher: Radio Spirits, Inc. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery Publisher's Summary: From 1949 to 1957, Dragnet pioneered new levels of realism on radio. Every crime investigated by Sergeant Joe Friday was taken from the actual case files of the Los Angeles Police Department, with only "the names changed to protect the innocent". There were multi-layered sound effects; the actors used accurate police lingo, abbreviations, and penal codes; and the show didn't shy away from stories about heinous crimes or stories that had unhappy endings. Created and produced by Jack Webb, Dragnet was much more than "just the facts". Critic Reviews: "By far the most popular police/crime program of all time. It enjoyed enormous success on radio." (Jon David Swartz and Robert C. Reinehr, Handbook of Old-Time Radio)

Title: One Man's Family, Volume 2 Author: NBC Radio Narrator: J. Anthony Smythe, full cast Format: Original Recording Length: 5 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery Publisher's Summary: Carlton E. Morse is no stranger to radio enthusiasts, with a resume that includes I Love a Mystery and Adventures by Morse. However, it is his long-running radio serial One Man's Family that stands out as his greatest creation. From 1932 to 1959, this prestigious drama entertained audiences with a weekly and later daily glimpse into the lives of an authentic American family - the Barbours of Sea Cliff, San Francisco. Morse was inspired to create the series after reading The Forsyte Saga, and as a result the program was designed to be a continuous radio novel, complete with books, chapters, and a focus concentrating more on individual characterizations than on plot. This is the second of a two-volume audiobook collection.

Title: Mr. President, Volume 2 Author: Jean Holloway, Bernard Dougall, Ira Marion Narrator: Edward Arnold, Bea Benaderet, Gil Stratton, Hans Conreid, Lurene Tuttle, Herb Butterfield, Owen James Format: Original Recording Length: 9 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-16 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery Publisher's Summary: The distinctive voice of Edward Arnold is featured in Mr. President, an anthology series that dramatizes little-known incidents of the men who have lived in the White House - dramatic, exciting events in their lives that you and I rarely hear. The uniqueness of the program is that the president is never identified during the proceedings; the great man's name is revealed only in a brief epilogue at the story's end. Featuring many of radio's top supporting players, Mr. President remains a fascinating program for history buffs and casual listeners alike, with a charm and appeal that is quite similar to contemporary dramatized audiobooks. Transferred directly from long-lost master recordings, most of the programs offered in volume 2 have not been heard since their original broadcast.
