From Joe Webb:
BIG NEWS! A NEW ESCAPE LOG! The free log was compiled by long-time collector and researcher Keith Scott. It is at https://sites.google.com/view/escapelog/escape-start-here and a PDF can be downloaded from there, or the contents can be viewed at the site.
Keith’s big contribution is the identification of the various actors who were not credited on-air. Last year we went to the Thousand Oaks Library where thousands of CBS scripts are stored. Keith and I used our smartphones to take pictures of whatever we needed. But 25 years ago, Keith did the hard work for this log when people had to (GASP!!) record their data collection BY HAND on something called PAPER! How primitive! The various casts, production personnel changes, music, sponsors, and numerous other matters are also noted in great detail, all from Keith’s decades of notes.
Escape is a foundational series in the quest to interest new listeners to this era of radio. His observations about the history and importance of the series is excellent.
Whatever you can do to promulgate Keith’s efforts would be greatly appreciated. Please share the website address with others who have interest in these programs. It was a privilege to help Keith prepare the document and I am pleased he is making it available to everyone. Enjoy!!
