Well, these special episodes, I feel a little bit more liberty about what I go ahead and choose for them as opposed to the things that we'll play Monday through Saturday. We want to bring you a pretty standard detective story every single day for those. But, as this is a special, we can kind of stretch the bounds of what we might do on the program. We have done science fiction detective programs. With an episode of X-1, we've done some comedy. So how about a fantasy detective program? And I don't mean fantasy in terms of Lords of the Ring or something like that.
This is from a pretty unique series. It's called Cloud Nine. There are five episodes in existence and it's from 1950. We don't have a great deal of information on the series other than what's contained in it itself. And the central premise appears to be that a man is constantly whisked up to Cloud Nine and taken on a journey to a fantasy location. Be a location in real life.
What unique challenges does the main character face in solving the murder?
One episode that's in existence had him going out west. Another had him going to Paris. Today's episode... as I'm going to the land of radio detectives. So with that introduction done, let's go ahead and take a listen to today's episode. This is from Cloud Nine, the original air date, July the 21st of 1950.
This is WBBM-FM, Chicago. Wrigley's Spearmint Chewing Gum, the refreshing, delicious treat that gives you chewing enjoyment, presents for your listening enjoyment, Cloud Nine. Yeah, I figure everything you listen to is educational. You know what I mean? Another one? Yeah, yeah, I guess so. Fundamental. Yeah. Yeah, Eddie, take a break.
What role does Aziza Muffet play in the story?
You know, a guy can always learn just by listening. That's why when a fella comes in and says, Mr. Harrington, you know what's wrong with the world? I listen. You can always learn.
Yeah, yeah.
Say, mind if I turn on the radio? Go ahead. That's why I come after you. Joe, you ain't gonna live that long. Put down that heater. Don't radio bother you? No. But what show is it? I don't know. It sounds like a thriller, though.
How does the episode incorporate humor related to detective tropes?
Yeah. Yeah. I like them, yeah. Some of them. The only thing I listen to. I just keep twisting the dial till I hear pistol shots. Ha ha. Can't miss that way, can you?
