D. B. Cooper's Last Interview Season 13, Episode 11 Release Date: November 17, 2025 Re-Imagined Radio presents "D.B. Cooper's Last Interview." A factual documentary with a fictional ending. For the factual documentary we sample research and recordings of individuals investigating and reporting the hijacking of Nortwest Orient Airlines Flight 305, November 24, 1971, by a man called "D.B. Cooper." Cooper hijacked the airplane between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington. He demanded and received $200,000 in ransom for the passengers and some of the flight crew. He escaped by parachuting from the airplane over Southwest Washington. Cooper has never been captured, or identified. The money has never been recovered. What happened to D.B. Cooper? Where is the money? These questions linger. For answers, and the fictional ending to this episode, we dramatize Tom Vandel's story "The Last Interview." With this approach, Re-Imagined Radio explores the only unsolved case of passenger air piracy in U.S. history. "D.B. Cooper's Last Interview" offers closure without diminishing the power of this true crime mystery that has remained legendary for more than 50 years. Original story, "The Last Interview," written and copyrighted by Tom Vandel (The Broken World, Tiny Road Books, 2021). Used by permission.  Episode written, produced, and hosted by John F.

This episode of Re-Imagined Radio is "Chaste Kiss & Chrysalis." Part of our Guest Producer/Writer Series, it samples two audio dramas by award-winning Canadian writer, producer, and director Jack Jamie Ward. February is the month of love, and Valentine's Day. Both of Ward's audio dramas are edgy love stories in the style of Golden Age of Radio science fiction. "A Chaste Kiss Goodbye" considers love between humans and purpose-built companion robots. Ward's "Chrysalis" is a revisioning of the classic audio drama "The War of the Worlds" as a layered love story, for aliens, humans, and machines.

The Lives of Harry Lime Imaginative crimes and misadventures Premiere broadcast: 20 January 2025 Season 13, Episode 01 Re-Imagined Radio samples the first and last episodes of The Lives of Harry Lime (syndicated United States broadcasts 1951-1952. Elsewhere titled The Adventures of Harry Lime). Both episodes star Orson Welles (of "The War of the Worlds" fame) as Harry Lime and the narrator. In "Too Many Crooks" (Episode 01, 3 August 1951) Harry gets mixed up with a bank robbery attempt in Budapest where each member of the gang tries to out-double cross the other. In "Greek Meets Greek" (Episode 52, 25 July 1952) Harry, while in Greece, contends with the measles, a dead body, and a mysterious woman with a gun claiming someone is trying to kill her. Her story, however, does not make sense. From our OTR (Old Time Radio) series. Credits Written, Produced, and Hosted by John F.
