Welcome to Skywave for more live radio play action! Our feature tonite is a story from the Columbia Workshop series. Originally aired 1939, "Now Playing tomorrow" is a comedy about a guy named Willie who says an angel tells him his future. But at what cost? With our remaining time, our actors will recite personal selections, some original, from their poetry collections. Please welcome Nyi Lunsford, Shelli Pentimall-Booker, Maury Harris, Gary Mitchell, Tom Casetta and your host, Andy Pettit. |

Wednesday, April 28, the Listen Up! program is dusting off recordings that fall into the category of Prog Rock. Lots of windswept guitar histrionics, gushing keyboards, lyrics full of mystical allusions and song and album titles bearing no relation to the music and almost as long as the music itself!
Hear it live from 2-4 on G-town Radio/WGGT-LP 92.9 |

Tune in Wed night from 7 - 9 PM. I'll be featuring new releases from Biker Daughter, Remember Sports, and Doused. |

Welcome to Skywave for live radio play fun. We begin with an episode from the horror series Hall of Fantasy. Originally aired 1953, "The Shadow People" are haunting Elaine when it's dark. They took away her mother, then her father. Elaine will be safe if she can keep the lights on and stay awake..indefinitely? We continue with an episode from the comedy series Fibber McGee and Molly. 1st broadcast 1941, "Fibber Gets His Hand Caught In A Bottle" pretty much sizes up the predicament and hints of perpelxing adventures that once again befall befuddled Fibber. How did he get his hand stuck in a bottle, you ask? Why, for a 35 cent cigar. What else? Is there some health lesson implied? Hm?! Well, who won't keep you guessing are our team of talented regs Aaron Roberge, Stephen Medvidick, Leah Holleran, TC and your hearty host, Andy Pettit. |
