Colorado Free Radio Old Time Radio Presents

Well the winter has been arduous and long but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Christmas went well and we appreciate all the listeners that have tuned in through the season. We have updated our playlist and now have the complete episodic log of Dragnet, as well as Journey in to Space, Project Luna and The World in Peril. We added the episodes without completely editing the ID3 info so they may appear in the request list as very strange looking file names, we wanted to go ahead and add them, we’ll be working on the info as time goes by so they will appear correctly in the playlist soon. Also new to the list is the complete episodic log of Magic Island and The Roy Rogers Show.

Magic Island was a science-fantasy radio serial syndicated in 1936.The storyline followed wealthy Patricia Gregory as she ended her 14-year search in the South Pacific for her long lost daughter Joan. When Joan was one-year-old, the Gregory yacht was shipwrecked near the 30th Parallel. Lashed to a lifeboat, Joan was presumed lost by all but Patricia. In the opening episode, she receives a tip about a white girl living on a mysterious island populated by scientifically advanced people in the Pacific. After the reunion of mother and daughter, the program dramatized their subsequent adventures on the island which could submerge to escape detection.

Targeted at a juvenile audience, Magic Island featured Sally Creighton as Patricia Gregory, Rosa Barcelo as Joan Gregory, Tommy Carr as Jerry Hall and Will H. Reynolds as Capt. Tex Bradford.

The producer-writer was Perry Crandall, who was also the program’s announcer.

We added more of Fibber McGee and Molly and hope to have all seasons completed and added to the playlist soon, this will give us the complete episodic log when we are done. Well that’s all for now and we hope you have weathered the winter well. Soon our studio will be a bit warmer and we will continue our OTR podcasts with your host your’s truly Johnny Night.
