Larry Groebe is back with Project Audion's“I was a Communist for the FBI” was an exciting 1952-1953 Cold-War era radio thriller series that purported to tell the real-life story of Matt Cvetic, who posed as a member of the Communist Party while actually spying for the FBI. Whether mostly true or mostly fantastic, these half hour “radio noir” dramas really illustrate the fears which the Red Menace held for mid-century America. Many episodes of this taut melodrama can be heard today, but a handful...

And so, for the first time, we can hear his proposed show "Little Ham from Harlem" - a comedic soap opera set at a shoe shine stand. Yes, a...

This brilliantly fascinating program reminds us to remember what we have in common, where we agree, and how we all still stand together -- so we can tone down the anger and deal with our diff...
