Welcome to Mystery in the Radio Waves. I’m your host Elizabeth McIrvin.
Mystery in the Radio Waves is a podcast where a cast of actors and comedians perform a classic radio play and then improvise jokes, characters, and stories. What the heck are radio plays and where do they come from? Well...The Golden Age of Radio was an era of radio in the U.S. in the 1920's to the 1960's where the main source of entertainment was radio programming before people owned televisions on a larger scale. The programs would have the same range as tv shows today. There were weekly medical dramas, romances, mysteries, true crime, etc. It's such an interesting part of entertainment history that we hope to revive a little on this podcast. Just the great storytelling, not the racist/sexist crap.
We have an awesome episode for you guys! I always like to change up the podcast. I get bored with everything super fast and I never want to get bored with this, because I love doing it so much. It’s literally my only constant joy. That said, just so you, the lovely audience knows, there will always be a radio play and there will always be improv. Now, in what order, where, and recorded with what, will always be a little different. For a long time we recorded in sound booths around LA, then I invested in the equipment myself, recorded some at home, still going to the studio every once in a while. Once covid hit we obviously went to zoom, minus episode 51, the only in person one we did all year. This episode …for whatever reason … I wanted to try and record an episode over the phone. We had a smaller cast available for the recording and I thought it would be fun to do a four way phone call. I don’t know if it changed anything for better or worse not being able to see each other and having to listen a little harder but we had a really good time and laughed a lot so I’m happy with it. Hope ya’ll enjoy it too. Stay safe out there. Please rate and subscribe! It really helps us out! You can email us at [email protected] if you have any questions or comments or just want to say hi. We’ll definitely read it on the podcast if you reach out! Thank you so much for the support and listening. ENJOY!
