The Fall of the City
The people of the city await the arrival of the great dictator.
Written by Archibald MacLeish, this poetic play was originally produced by the Columbia Workshop in 1937, as a warning about what was happening in Europe at the time. Its message seems especially appropriate again.
This production is by the Willamette Radio Workshop, in Portland, OR, under the direction of the late Sam A. Mowry.
Light of Other Days
What if the light coming through your window actually took years to get through instead of instantly? What you see is what was happening long ago, not right now.
That’s the premise of this story, originally written by British SF author, Bob Shaw, and produced here by the Sci-Fi Radio series.

The Bridge on the River Wye
One guess which popular movie is being satirized here. This Spike Milligan script was originally a Goon Show in 1957, and was then re-recorded as this 1962 LP with Milligan and Sellers and two up-and-coming talents from the Beyond the Fringe team, Jonathan Miller and Peter Cook. A classic piece of anarchy as always from Milligan, and great production values courtesy future Beatles producer George Martin.

The Last Harbinger, Ep. 1-2
Moloch is an absurdly brutal world where the vanity of the elite compels them to spend more on unnecessary cosmetic surgery than on medicines for children in poverty. A world wherein a twisted religious ideology applauds the materially well-off while condemning the homeless. A world rapidly destroying its environment. A world with precious little compassion. In short: Moloch is a civilisation destroying itself.
Written and produced by Roger Gregg for the Crazy Dog Audio Theatre in Dublin, Ireland.
The first two of five episodes. Two more next week.
All episodes are available on YouTube. April 5, 2026
