NOTE: The OTRR's Murder At Midnight Maintained Set (formerly known as 'Certified Set') is up and live again, with a fresh coat of paint and some new goodies: https://archive.org/details/OTRR_Certified_Murder_at_Midnight ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ re Nightkey5 Thanks, Nightkey, and thanks for all the maintenance work that you do around here. It's both wonderful and frustrating to hear the first halves of those two episodes, but I'm glad they're available to us. P.S. Do you know of any OTRR members who are also Wikipedians? Perhaps an announcement on the OTRR Facebook page would be good; now that so much new (old?) information has (re)surfaced, it would be nice to see Murder At Midnight's out-of-date Wikipedia page get corrected, updated, and perhaps expanded a bit. I'm tempted to try, but too scared. I barely figured out how to make Internet Archive work; I'm not pushing my luck. ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ Re Karl Schadow: Hello, Mr. Schadow; I hope that you will understand, but I don't like to do the email thing. If you were looking at the list of episodes on this page, I should mention that there is a more complete list behind the TEXT link at the upper right (look for the file with 'with cast list and trivia' in the title). The list in the body of this article is only the episodes that are available in this collection, but the text-file list includes all fifty-two episodes. In case you had seen that text-file list, I did update it since your review, with more information on a few of the missing episodes. I hope to soon have a bit more informaton on the general history of the series; when I do, I'll add that to the 'Murder At Midnight: The Radio Show' page. -------------- Hello again, Mr. Schadow; sorry to take so long to get back to you. Thank you for an entertaining and very thorough article on the series. I have linked your article on my 'Murder At Midnight: The Radio Show' page, in the 'Links' section at the bottom of the page. If either you or the OTRR do not wish this article to be linked on that page, please let me know, and I will remove it immediately. If the removal request comes from the OTRR, it would be best if it comes as an answer to this review from a recognizable OTRR member such as Greybelt, Lum Edwards, or OTRRArchive (so I know it's for real). I have just added a rather verbose section to that same 'The Radio Show' page titled 'Misinformation At Midnight'. I don't know if any of it would be of interest to you, but I did find some info on the ten-episode 1950 Mutual run that, as far as I know, hadn't previously appeared on the internet (I've also added a zip file of relevant radio listings). Nothing earth-shaking, and if I was a better writer it would have been shorter, but it may be worth a look; here's the page it's on: https://archive.org/details/itotr-murderatmidnight-theradioshow One final note, for anyone working on the OTRR Murder At Midnight collection. I see that the zip files were pulled from that page, and I hope we see version 2 soon. I hate to air dirty laundry in public, but there is one error in the jpeg on that page that's getting under my skin: at the upper right there is a photo captioned 'Raymond Morgan', but that is actually frequent star Berry Kroeger. Thank you again, Mr. Schadow, and thank you, OTRR.

Thanks, Harry. Additional history of this program may be found here: http://www.otrr.org/FILES/Times_Archive_pdf/2019_01-02.pdf A list of plots and cast will be forthcoming in a future issue of The Old Radio Times. Karl Karl

Thank you


OTRR will get the incorrect picture removed from the next release of Murder at Midnight. It will also include the first half of We Who Are About to Die and Black Curtain.
