Macbeth Follies never aired on radio, it includes Orson and actors from his Mercury Theatre on the Air group having fun. This was recorded April 26 or 27, 1940.

It's a comedic take on scenes from Shakespeare's Macbeth. NOTE: There are a couple of very mild cursing/swear words.

We Hold These Truths, a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the United States Bill of Rights, and shared 'American values.' Broadcast on all four major networks (CBS, NBC Red, NBC Blue, and Mutual). This episode aired live on December 15, 1941.

Written and producer, Norman Corwin, won a Peabody Award for the show, which commemorated the ratification of Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791.

Two interviews in one post.

• First is his interview discussing the premiere of Citizen Kane at the Geary Theater in San Francisco. Dorothy Comingore is also interviewed, she played 'Susan Alexander Kane' in the film. The interview aired May 28, 1941.
• Second interview took place in Hollywood for the Mercury Wonder Show on KMTR. The Wonder Show was a magic, variety, and comedy performance stage production that Orson created for the military and the general public. Military soldiers and crowd participants are interviewed before talking to Marlene Dietrich, Joseph Cotten, and Rita Hayworth and Orson, just after their marriage. I enjoy the interviewer rushing people on and off the mic, funny to me. This interview aired September 7, 1943.

This week is the first production from, The Mercury Summer Theatre of the Air, with an adaptation of the Jules Verne novel from 1873, Around the World in Eighty Days. This is the musical short version, sometime later he did a non-musical version that was an hour. I strongly prefer the second version.

Music by Cole Porter. Cast includes: Orson Welles (Fix), Arthur Margetson (Phileas Fogg), Larry Laurence (Passepartout), Mary Healy (Princess Aouda), Julie Warren (Molly Muggins).

This is the greatly shortened version of the Broadway play that Welles produced. The expensive musical extravaganza opened on Broadway in May 1946 but closed after 75 performances. The Broadway show was considered a huge flop.

After New York drama critic Robert Garland wrote disdainfully that the show had "everything but the kitchen sink", Welles had a kitchen sink brought to him onstage during his curtain speech.

Although Broadway audiences reportedly loved Around the World, its precarious finances—and the theatre's inadequate air conditioning—could not sustain it through the summer, and Welles was forced to close it. He personally lost an estimated $320,000 (equivalent to $4,450,000 in 2021) on the production. Due to bad legal advice, he was unable to claim the loss on his taxes, and it took him many years to pay the debt. [some notes here from Wikipedia]

Campbell Playhouse | The Bad Man || Broadcast: May 19, 1939

Comedy-Adventure about a Mexican Bandito and the mixed bag of Americans who cross his path.

Starring: Ida Lupino; William Alland; Ray Collins; Edwin Jerome; Frank Readick; Everett Sloane; Diana Stevens

This week features the legendary Groucho Marx on The Orson Welles Almanac. This episode aired Wednesday, 9:30 p.m. EST on January 26, 1944.

The Orson Welles Almanac (also known as The Orson Welles Comedy Show) was a variety program on CBS Radio.

The idea of doing such a variety show occurred to Welles after his success as substitute host of The Jack Benny Program. Welles had an ongoing battle with program sponsor, Mobil, which shortened the life of the series. For example, Welles bristled at a suggestion that if Duke Ellington appeared on the show he should play the role of Welles's servant. [Wikipedia]

The Orson Welles Almanac | Guest, Hedda Hopper | Broadcast date: Wednesday, February 23, 1944

The Orson Welles Almanac aired on CBS Radio and broadcast live, hosted by Orson Welles. Many shows originated from U.S. military camps, where Welles and his repertory company and guests entertained the troops with a reduced version of The Mercury Wonder Show. The performances of the all-star jazz band that Welles brought together for the show were an important force in the revival of traditional New Orleans jazz in the 1940s.

The sight of a dilapidated mansion and the odor of oleander and wild orange trees lure him to an island off the Georgia coast to seek fresh water.

We welcome a new program to the podcast, The Adventures of Harry Lime, this first episode is titled, Too Many Crooks. This episode aired August 3, 1951.

Plot: Harry gets a telegram from a banker in Budapest, asking for help from an upcoming bank robbery.

Orson Welles reprises his role of Harry Lime from the popular 1949 film The Third Man. The radio series is a prequel to the film, and depicts the many misadventures of the con-artist in a somewhat lighter tone than the film.
