The Dogcast: Some “Dark Fantasy” for your old radio pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more old radio fun. In honor of the ultra-scary horror movie “Smile” releasing this week, I thought it would be fun for all of you old radio fans to get a load of a couple of episodes of “Dark Fantasy,” a popular supernatural series from the 1940s. These two episodes have a creep factor but are old fashioned entertaining corn in all the best ways. You’ll want to check these out as a pallet cleanser after the nerve-shattering ride of “Smile.” Enjoy the old radio thrillers and feel free to either comment below or on my Facebook page. So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: Some “X-Minus One” For Your Old Radio Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more old radio fun! In honor of the science fiction flavored “Don’t Worry Darling” (read the review here) I thought I’d include a couple of episodes of “X-Minus One,” and excellent science fiction radio program that was popular during the 1950s. “X-Minus” one featured adaptations of the works of Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein and others during it’s run and some of the stories still hold up well today. Enjoy listening to these offerings of “X-Minus One” and feel free to comment either below or on my Facebook Page! So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: Some “Suspense” for your old radio pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some classic tales of “Suspense from the wonderful world of old radio. This is in honor of “Barbarian” a terrific thriller that is currently playing in theaters (you can read the review here). “Suspense” was one of the most successful dramas in radio history, running from the early 1940s to the 1960s. Major film stars often appeared on the program, often doing work that differed from their onscreen personas. Here we have a couple of “Suspense” episodes from the forties. One is a version of “The Most Dangerous Game” from 1943 and then we have the classic “House In Cypress Canyon” from 1946. “Cypress Canyon” is a true chiller, something to tide you over until Halloween.

The Dogcast: The Original Vampire Radio Drama “Dracula” For Your Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a hankering for a good old fashioned vampire drama after watching the fun Netflix film “Day Shift.” A fun flick but the vampires (save for the boss lady) were a little underwhelming. I’m correcting that oversight with the best radio adaptation ever to air from none other than Orson Wells and The Mercury Theater On The Air. This takes place the same year as the classic “War Of The Worlds” broadcast but a few months earlier. In many ways it’s just as good as “War Of The Worlds” and in some ways, even better. The captain’s log detailing the terrifying events on The Demeter crossing from Transylvania to London is one of the most chilling dramatizations in radio. So enjoy and feel free to comment either below or on my Facebook Page. So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: A Little “X-Minus” One For Some Alien Old Radio Fun!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more Old Radio fun for all of you. In honor of the excellent new horror film “Nope” I thought it would be fun to bring the aliens and outer space to the theater of the mind. I’ve got a couple from the classic 1950s science fiction series “X-Minus One” which was really popular with some of the great science fiction writers of the day such as Ray Bradbury and Robert Heinlein. Enjoy these two from early in the series’ run and feel free to comment below or on my Facebook page! So Sayeth The Kendog!
