Project Audion Episode 56: The Jack Benny Program: The Man Who Knew Too Much
Project Audion once again brings you laughs, with an all-new original episode of the Jack Benny Program sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes. This Audion Original was written for us by former Bob Hope staff writer Robert L. Mills. Jack Benny was his childhood comedy inspiration, and once again Mr. Mills has recreated that classic Benny style and humor so faithfully it's like discovering a lost episode!
This week, Jack has snagged Jimmy Stewart as his guest star, so the Benny gang (Mary Livingston, Dennis Day, Phil Harris, Mel Blanc, and the rest) can stage their send-up of the Alfred Hitchcock film "The Man Who Knew Too Much." Also, after a trying violin lesson with Professor LeBlanc, Jack faces a tax audit which requires a trip to the IRS to explain some of his more mysterious deductions. Performing live in our virtual Zoom studio, our coast-to-coast cast and crew once again capture the sound of the Benny show right down to the studio audience. Tune in and join in the laughter!

Project Audion Episode 55: Suspense- "The Life of Nellie James"
Project Audion starts the fifth season. They've had steady growth since those first COVID-era productions - in the quality of the performances and productions, in the size of our casting pool, and in the audience as well, fortunately! In fact, last month's episode -"The Man Called X" - has already become their second-most-popular dramatic production ever. This week, Suspense is one of classic radio's most highly-regarded dramas -- with good reason. It sustained a remarkably high quality level of dramatic tension for 20 years, as the many surviving recordings attest. You'll hear Suspense in its earliest form, straight from the original 1942 script. A dreadful murder takes place in the Simon James home, and justice is done ...or is it? It's a tale well-calculated to keep you in ...Suspense! Nothing less than one of the fabled "lost dozen" Suspense episodes - in fact, this script was intended to be the VERY FIRST Suspense episode ever. "The Life of Nellie James" was heard just once, live, on July 1, 1942 as Suspense's third-ever episode, and then never heard again. Until now!
