- The Day the Earth Stood StillRe-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 EffectRe-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.

- A Radio Christmas Carol 2022Our first live performance since 2020! Re-Imagined Radio presents The Willamette Radio Workshop, Portland, OR, performing their radio adaptation of the classic story by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol. Re-Imagined Radio first offered "A Radio Christmas Carol" in 2013. Every year since we've offered some iteration of this classic story. We like to think it has become a community tradition, bringing joy and festivities to the seasonal holidays. This year, we were pleased to welcome back The Willamette Radio Workshop, directed by Sam A. Mowry, and The Holly Jolly Singers, directed by Bennett Bailey, for a live performance in Vancouver's historic Kiggins Theatre. Yes, the holiday magic returns. See our website for more information, http://www.reimaginedradio.net/episodes/christmas/index.html#live Season 10, Episode 12 Premier broadcast: 21 Dec. 2022 Produced, Hosted by John Barber Music, Sound Design, Post Production by Marc Rose Graphics by Holly Slocum Design More info, see our website0 comments0

- Hearing VoicesRe-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.

G. Wells. Interviews with Welles provide additional insight. Our documentary radio performance style combines art production and scholarship to celebrate The War of the Worlds radio broadcast.

- Twisted EpiphaniesRe-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 Season 10, Episode 08 Premier broadcast: 19 Sep. 2022 Written, Produced, and Hosted by John F.

- Joe Frank TributeRe-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-ChallengeRe-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 Season 10, Episode 06 Premier broadcast: 18 July 2022 Written, Produced, Hosted by John Barber Post Production, Music, Sound Design by Marc Rose Social Media by Regina Carol Social Media Management Graphics by Holly Slocum Design More info, see our website0 comments0

- The Fall of the CityRe-Imagined Radio paid tribute to The Columbia Workshop , perhaps the most important American anthology radio program, and its mission to explore and present new forms of radio storytelling. The Willamette Radio Workshop performed Archibald MacLeish's "The Fall of the City" which follows the collapse of a city under an unnamed dictator and the ambiguous relationship humans have with freedom. The Voices performed samples from Jack J. Ward's "Great Day for a War" which concerns a scheme by a broadcasting company to increase its viewers during ratings week.

- Destination FreedomRe-Imagined Radio pays tribute to Black History Month, Black American culture, art, and history, and Destination Freedom (1948-1950), a radio series that dramatized the democratic traditions and cultural contributions of Black Americans, and, in the process, provided foothold for the later civil and human rights movements. We sample from original episodes of Destination Freedom to consider W. C. Handy, "The Father of the Blues" and the New Orleans jazz stylings of Louis Armstrong.

- Figurski at Findhorn on AcidRe-Imagined Radio presents the first ever radio adaptation of the comedic hypertext novel Figurski at Findhorn on Acid by Richard Holeton. Performed by The Voices, our ensemble of voice actors. Special guest appearance by Holeton. Three larger than life characters, Frank Figurski, The No Hands Cup Flipper, and Fatima Michelle Vieuchanger, converge at Findhorn, Scotland, a small fishing village and home to an intentional community of New Age eccentrics seeking one—perhaps two!—mechancial pigs of incalculable value while stewing in Spam, acid—yes, that acid—and wit-slathered repartee. The result: one epic story. Already legendary. Now a podcast.

- Re-Imagined Radio Sep 20 · 58m Dracula 2021Our third take on the original man in black! Re-Imagined Radio reprised a 2018 recorded performance by Metropolitan Performing Arts actors and other community volunteers at Kiggins Theatre in downtown Vancouver, Washington. The earlier recording at the core of this episode has lain dormant . . . buried in a box of dirt. . . waiting.

- Nirvana & GehennaRe-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.
