  • Front Page Drama: Alex Binks

    Front Page Drama: Alex Binks
    Nov 9 2026
    Aired: October 15, 1950 (Front Page Drama — “Alex Binks”)

    What happens when a man's passion for antiques collides with his wife's determination to keep their home free of clutter? In this amusing episode of Front Page Drama, Alex Binks has a weakness for secondhand bargains, much to the frustration of his long-suffering wife, Sally.

    When Alex brings home an antique corn sheller, Sally insists that he return it and get their money back. Unfortunately, the secondhand dealer isn't interested in refunds, and Alex's attempts to recover his money lead to a series of increasingly questionable exchanges. Before long, the couple finds themselves saddled with an old oil painting that Sally considers the worst purchase yet.

    John Gibson, best remembered as Ethelbert on Casey, Crime Photographer, stars as Alex in this lighthearted comedy about bargain hunting, marital disagreements, and the sometimes surprising value of things other people consider junk.

    More than 75 years after its original broadcast, the story remains remarkably relatable to anyone who has ever brought home an irresistible thrift-store find—or lived with someone who does.

  • The Passing Parade: Jules Verne's Uncanny Accuracy. Nicola Tesla's Dreams for the Future

    The Passing Parade: Jules Verne's Uncanny Accuracy. Nicola Tesla's Dreams for the Future
    Nov 2 2026
    Aired: 1949 (John Nesbitt's Passing Parade)

    What do science-fiction pioneer Jules Verne and legendary inventor Nikola Tesla have in common? Both possessed extraordinary imaginations that allowed them to envision technological possibilities far beyond their own times.

    In this 1949 episode of John Nesbitt's Passing Parade, Nesbitt offers two fascinating portraits of men whose dreams helped shape the modern world.

    First, we meet Jules Verne, whose remarkable literary imagination anticipated technological developments ranging from submarines and aircraft to space exploration. Nesbitt explores how Verne's stories inspired real-life pioneers, including aviation innovator Alberto Santos-Dumont, submarine designer Simon Lake, and polar explorer Richard Byrd.

    Then we turn to Nikola Tesla, the brilliant and eccentric inventor whose contributions to electrical technology transformed everyday life. From his unusual personal habits to his ambitious experiments with wireless power transmission, Tesla emerges as a man whose vision extended far beyond what the technology of his day could accomplish.

    Together, these stories celebrate the power of imagination to inspire scientific progress—and remind us that even dreams that remain unfulfilled can help future generations achieve the seemingly impossible.

  • Magic Key: Remote from Ebbets Field in Brooklyn

    Magic Key: Remote from Ebbets Field in Brooklyn
    Oct 26 2026
    Aired: September 20, 1936 (The Magic Key of RCA)

    Step back into the world of 1930s baseball with a remarkable live remote broadcast from Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.

    As the New York Giants battle the Brooklyn Dodgers and anticipation builds for a possible Giants–Yankees World Series, NBC commentator John B. Kennedy takes listeners behind the scenes of one of America's most famous ballparks.

    This segment from The Magic Key of RCA features conversations with future Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel, veteran umpire Ernest Quigley, longtime Dodgers groundskeeper Daniel Comerford, and the team's young mascot.

    Together, they offer a fascinating picture of baseball culture in 1936, from the pressures of umpiring to the traditions and personalities that made the national pastime so popular.The broadcast also captures a period of transition in baseball history. Comerford's complaints about fans keeping foul balls recall an earlier era when spectators were expected to return them, while Quigley's recollections connect listeners with some of the game's legendary players and teams.

    With the sounds and atmosphere of Ebbets Field as its backdrop, this recording offers more than a preview of the 1936 World Series. It's a rare opportunity to hear the people who helped shape baseball during its early decades, speaking about the game they loved.
