The Day the Earth Stood Still
57:59
Re-Imagined Radio considers the 1954 Lux Radio Theatre adaptation of the 1951 SciFi movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still, both starring Michael Rennie. A space alien arrives in Washington, DC, and delivers a warning . . . an ultimatum. Live peacefully or be destroyed by robots of unimaginable power. Beyond science fiction literature themes like space aliens, flying saucers, and robots, this radio story overlays Cold War fear of rockets and nuclear war. The result is powerful, insightful, thought provoking, a fine example of radio storytelling.

Proximity Effect
58:01
Re-Imagined Radio considers Edward R. Murrow’s radio reporting of "The Blitz," fifty-seven consecutive days of German air force bombing of London during World War II. His keen observation, vivid verbal descriptions, and attention to sounds provided a sense of what was happening. What could be observed. Radio historian Jeff Porter calls the unmatched immediacy Murrow provided listeners, "the proximity effect" (Porter Lost Sound 90) and says it prompted a new form of radio storytelling. We sample several examples of Murrow's radio storytelling, and its "proximity effect," in this episode.

Hearing Voices
57:59
Re-Imagined Radio partners with the Clark County Historical Museum and samples from their Oral History Collection to share stories about living and working in Southwest Washington. Museum director Bradley Richardson says, "This collection is deep and rich with stories, each told in the voices of those who lived the experiences their stories describe. They are true stories. The dialogue is unscripted, unpolished, and absolutely compelling." We present three stories. The first, "Living with Chief Joseph," is told by Erskin Wood. In 1893, at the age of 13, he lived with Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce people in the Nespelem Valley, just north of present day Grand Coulee Dam in Washington state. Wood recounts his interesting connection to Chief Joseph, everyday life in his teepee, and his job wrangling the Chief's herd of horses. He tells about the games the young people played, and about the community singing and dancing in which he participated. The second, "Working the SPS Railroad," is an account by Harry W. Hendricks of his experiences working for the Seattle-Portland-Spokane Railroad, 1950s-1994, during the transition from steam to diesel technologies. Hendricks, a retired conductor, recounts working on the railroad for more than fourty years. He talks about the pleasure of traveling through the Columbia River Gorge several times a week. From his enthusiastic storytelling it's obvious that Hendricks enjoyed every minute of his career with the SPS railroad. In our third story, "The Russians Arrive," Leverett Richards, a reporter for the Clark County Sun newspaper recalls the surprise landing of a single-engine airplane at Vancouver's Pearson Airfield piloted by three Russian airmen, 20 June 1937. Two days earlier, June 18, the plane took off from an airport outside Moscow, Russia, headed for Oakland, California. The Soviet airplane and its crew, Valery Chkalov, pilot, Georgi Baidukov, relief pilot, and Alexander Belyakov, navigator and radio operator flew non-stop from Moscow, over the North Pole. After 63 hours of flying, and nearly 6,000 miles, low fuel forced them to land in Vancouver, Washington. Their landing marked the first non-stop flight from Moscow, Russia, to the United States by a single engine plane over the North Pole.

Twisted Epiphanies
58:00
Re-Imagined Radio presents twenty short radio stories written and voiced by folks living in America's Pacific Northwest. Each story features an "epiphany," a sudden, unexpected revelation or insight. Especially with regard to four questions we often ask ourselves: "Who Am I?", "Where Am I Going?", "So What?", and "Why?" The responses are entertaining and insightful. Sometimes uncomfortable. "Twisted" from expectations. Each is an excellent, thought-provoking story about human experience. See our website for more information, http://www.reimaginedradio.net/episodes/epiphanies/index.html

Joe Frank Tribute
58:02
Re-Imagined Radio pays tribute to Joe Frank, a radio storyteller noted for his husky, insomniac voice and sincere delivery of ideas and stories that were often surrealistic, even absurd. From 1978 to 2018, Frank entertained thousands of listeners with his combinations of monologue, radio drama, and talk radio to tell stories about the human experience. He is credited with 250. We sample from "Jewish Blues" (1978), "Memories" (1990), "Green Cadillac" (1993), "Reality Check" (2013), and "A Life Well Lived" (2013) to showcase his work, early to near the end of his career.

Lone-Green-Challenge
58:03
Re-Imagined Radio pays tribute to three uniquely connected radio drama series, The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, and The Challenge of the Yukon. Produced by George Trendle, owner of WXYZ radio, and written by Fran Striker, The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, and The Challenge of the Yukon are each examples of pioneering radio storytelling. Through voices, music, and sound effects we are there as the The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, and Sergeant Preston keep the criminals in check. Each character stands for something, and never backs away from their guiding principles. The larger than life characters, the adventurous plots, even the classical music themes have all contributed to making The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, and The Challenge of the Yukon among the best of all Old Time Radio programs. This Re-Imagined Radio "Lone-Green-Challenge Tribute" honors that legacy. See our website for more information, http://www.reimaginedradio.net/episodes/lone-green-challenge/index.html

Nirvana & Gehenna
57:58
Re-Imagined Radio presents "Nirvana & Gehenna," an interdimensional documentary written by Jerrel McQuen and produced by three-time Emmy winning sound designer Marc Rose, both of Portland, OR. In their story, The Multiverse is a helix. Five spirals above Earth is the universe that contains the dimension of Dry Smoke, and nine spirals up is the universe that contains Farwan. Professor Thedgar Rhedlington, an eccentric scientist from the Dry Smoke continuum, stumbles upon a way to bridge all three, and thus the birth of Nirvana & Gehenna. Any major event can ripple up and down the helix, and parallel events are born. Sounds mad — but is it? You decide.

The Skyjacker
01:02:34
Re-Imagined Radio presents its third foray into the enduring legend of D.B. Cooper with an original script by Dan Wyatt, Jr. performed by Metropolitan Performing Arts. On Thanksgiving Eve, 1971, Cooper jumped from a hijacked passenger airplane into the dark and stormy night over Southwest Washington. Neither Cooper, nor the ransom money, has ever been found. His hijacking of a Northwest Orient jet airplane remains the only unsolved case of U.S. air piracy. To some, he is a hero. To others, a criminal.
Too big for a single episode, The D.B. Cooper Saga is a trilogy of contemporary radio dramas by Dan Wyatt, Jr. concerning a man known only as "D.B. Cooper" who is, simply put, a legend here in the Pacific Northwest. Right up there with UFOs, Sasquatch, and Mount St. Helens. This is Part 3 of the trilogy.

Before he parachuted from the back of the low-flying passenger jet into history over Southwest Washington with $200,000 strapped to his body, D. B. Cooper was alone in the economy section. The only person he talked with was Tina Mucklow, a flight attendant aboard Northwest Orient flight 305. Mucklow was twenty-something. Cooper was a middle-aged man with a bomb in a briefcase. What did they talk about? We have some ideas. Too big for a single episode, The D.B. Cooper Saga is a trilogy of contemporary radio dramas by Dan Wyatt, Jr. concerning a man known only as "D.B.

Skyjacker '71: The D.B. Cooper Transmissions
01:55:51
Re-Imagined Radio presents its first foray into the enduring legend of D.B. Cooper with an original script by Dan Wyatt, Jr. performed by Metropolitan Performing Arts. D. B. Cooper's hijacking of Flight 305, enroute from Portland to Seattle, is the only unsolved air piracy case in America. His exploit is celebrated in movies, television, song, and now, radio. Neither endorsing or condemning Cooper, we explore the many communications between multiple agencies and individuals as they attempted to resolve a tense situation, keep citizens safe and informed, and uphold the law. Too big for a single episode, The D.B. Cooper Saga is a trilogy of contemporary radio dramas by Dan Wyatt, Jr. concerning a man known only as "D.B. Cooper" who is, simply put, a legend here in the Pacific Northwest. Right up there with UFOs, Sasquatch, and Mount St. Helens. This is Part 1 of the trilogy.
