PROJECT AUDION 42: Season 4 Premiere - SUSPENSE

<p><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/32235/a42-suspense-promo.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="350" /></p> <p><strong>Project Audion</strong> recreates an extraordinarily rare and early lost episode of the classic audio drama <em>Suspense</em>. When CBS premiered the the show in June 1942, it wasn't immediately evident that it would become one of the all-time great radio dramas, running for 20 years and nearly 1000 stories. Indeed, in this (just <em>Suspense</em>'s fifth-ever episode, from July 15, 1942), while all the typical ingredients are in place (in this instance, a murder aboard a moving train) the show hadn't quite yet settled into the style that would soon define classics like 1943's "Sorry, Wrong Number." Heard for the first time in 80 years, our recreation of this lost <em>Suspense</em> episode -- "The Witness on the Westbound Train" -- is taken from the single known surviving script. It features the same transcontinental cast of vocal actors who appeared in <strong>Project Audion</strong>'s very first episode, along with additional talented voices who have appeared in <strong>Project Audion</strong> shows during the past three years.</p> <p><strong>The Cast: </strong></p> <p>MARK: Pete Lutz, TX</p> <p>JOE: Doug Fain, KY</p> <p>DORIS: Patte Rosebank, Canada</p> <p>CONDUCTOR: Denny Thompson, CO</p> <p>LAWRENCE / RANDOLPH: John Mauldin, TN</p> <p>BILL / BAGGAGEMAN: Dick Huitema, FL</p> <p>ANNOUNCER / WAITER: Robert Stevenson, IN</p> <p>DIRECTION / PRODUCTION / SOUND: Larry Groebe, TX</p>
