I think I blogged it before but it's still funny; the thing about being a fan of old-time radio is that the "old" part sometimes does amusing things to the audio quality of the programs. For instance, there was a suspense show called "The Whistler." An episode called "I'll Trade You Murder" at some point in the 60-odd years since its original recording got its recording speed all botched up. It's fairly hard to get all that scared when your killers sound like the Lollipop Guild from Munchkinland.
Then again, the plot didn't make all that much sense anyway, so the fact that the episode accidentally became a comedy show after the fact is probably a great improvement. Anyway, it was a pretty silly thing to wake up to in the middle of the night a few days ago. Episode isn't on YouTube, but curious parties shouldn't have any trouble finding it on archive.org. Unfortunately, there are no Munchin-style ditties to be heard in it.
