Robert,

Mahalo for the pointer to "The Thrilling Adventure Hour" podcasts... I'm an avid fan of old time radio shows and their more contemporary recreations. When American Movie Classics ended their Remember WENN series, I was inconsolable. Really nice work on "Sparks Nevada" in progress.

I finally got around to framing the mini art print you sent, "Moonlight on Ku." Photos at the Blowfish Bar are posted here.

Thanks Tom! I don't have a huge knowledge of old time radio outside of Abbott & Costello, The Shadow and You Bet Your Life. Odd how these things make me feel nostalgic for a time I was around for! :D Same thing with Woody Allen's Radio Days.

I hope you give Sparks a few listen's. The show has been performed since 2005 I believe, but the podcasts only started being recorded about 2 years ago. So the first few episodes give you the feeling you're missing something...but the humor of the characters win out. In the Thrilling Adventure podcasts look for something called THIS AMERICAN WIFE which is a NPR parody/humorous interview with the characters designed to help you "catch up".

Also very good is Beyond Belief (from the same production) It's a Thin Man styled show. 2 married booze hounds solving paranormal mysteries....very funny!
