Part 1 of Son of Harpo Speaks! & Homeland Security Comes to Camp Waterlogg
Bill Marx is the last living person to have worked ...
Bill Marx is the last living person to have worked professionally with the three Marx Brothers: his uncles, Chico and Groucho, and his father, Harpo Marx. Because Chico and Groucho had children that had written about them, Bill Marx wanted to complete the Marx Brothers’ literary trifecta by authoring a book about the personal and professional relationships that he had with his father. Son of Harpo Speaks!, in addition to offering a unique perspective of a very special man and revealing many stories never before in print, is also a book about a “too-Hollywood-to-believe” life-altering quirk of fate that ultimately brought him together with his parents. ... and... The Camp Waterlogg Chronicles #1 Homeland Security Comes to Camp Waterlogg Ranger Joe Bevilacqua and Ranger Lorie Kellogg improvise radio theater stories, doing most of the voices themselves, from their cabin in Catskill Mountains. Jim Folly is Chef Ron Drysdale as Sgt. Lefty (Joe Bev) and Olive Pitts (Lorie Kellogg) recall his arrival at Camp Waterlogg when he was a Homeland Security Officer. Bev also plays Ellis da Boatkeeper and Lil Orphan Andy. Kellogg is also heard as Lkie. Cousin Kenny Savoy as Stinky Peter Moss. More about Waterlogg Productions at http://www.waterlogg.com.

We Take You Now To Grover’s Mill: The Making of the War of the Worlds Broadcast

In this 1988 documentary, award-winning NPR producer Joe Bevilacqua looks at how the landmark broadcast came about and examines its impact on broadcast history. The half-hour program includes rare interviews with Mercury Theater producer John Houseman, writer Howard Koch, actor Arthur Anderson, and the people of Grover’s Mill, NJ, who lived through the 'Martian Invasion.' Ladies and Gentlemen, I’ve just been handed a message that came in from Grover’s Mill by telephone. Just one moment please. At least forty people, including six state troopers, lie dead in a field east of the village of Grover’s Mill, their bodies burned and distorted beyond all possible recognition. On October 30, 1938, during a regular airing of Mercury Theatre on the Air, a CBS Radio Network news correspondent broke in with the devastating story of an apparent Martian invasion near the unincorporated township of Grover’s Mill, New Jersey. Over the course of the one-hour program, the incoming bulletins grew more and more terrifying as the Martian war machines defeated army units and marched on New York City, their heat rays and deadly poison gas leaving a wake of death and destruction behind them. Just minutes into the broadcast the phone lines began to jam with listeners trying to reach the CBS offices, the police, family members, or friends. It is reported that many people in the immediate vicinity of the “attack” evacuated their homes, taking as many of their possessions with them as they could carry. The extent of the panic has been, and is still debated but radio broadcasting would be forever changed. The value of radio as a source of news and dramatic entertainment was suddenly apparent. In 1988, award-winning journalist and voice-over artist Joe Bevilacqua created this thirty-minute special for NPR in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the historic event. It is available now as an audio download for the first time. Contained herein are exclusive interviews with John Houseman, who produced the program, Howard Koch, who was the primary writer of the radio script, and Arthur Anderson, one of the primary actors. You’ll learn about Orson Welles’ involvement in the project. You’ll also hear interviews and commentaries from real-live people who lived in and around the Grover’s Mill area relating their memories of the event, not to mention several clips from the original broadcast itself. This thirty-minute feature is packed with more information and entertainment than you can shake a heat ray at. Don’t miss out on a unique behind-the-scenes look at one of the more fascinating pieces of American history and pop-culture.

Cirasa (Author), Rick Ramos (Narrator), Alison Nead (Narrator), Cathi Tully (Narrator), Jay Snyder (Narrator), Peter Cummings (Narrator), Thomas Babakowski (Narrator) http://www.downpour.com/old-time-radio-parodies-1 Old Time Radio Parodies by Joe Bevilacqua performed by a Full cast Series: Comedy-o-Rama Theater Copyright: 2011 Waterlogg Productions Duration: 2 hours 53 minutes unabridged Genres: humor, radio production Old Time Radio Parodies, Volume Two of The Best of the Comedy-O-Rama Hour, produced and directed by Joe Bevilacqua, written by Joe Bevilacqua, William Melillo, and Robert J. Cirasa. These are not old-time radio shows but incredible simulations! Created by veteran audio theater producer Joe Bevilacqua, these humorious half-hours take off on such classic old time radio shows as The Shadow, The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, War of the Worlds, Suspense and The Jack Benny Program. The fine cast includes Joe Bevilacqua, Rick Ramos, Alison Nead, Cathi Tully, William Melillo, Jay Snyder, Peter Cummings, Thomas Babakowski, Peter Nevargic and James Cronin.

For more about The Comedy-O-Rama Hour, go to: http://www.comedyorama.com. AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Fans of old-time radio classics are in for a real treat. From Joe Bevilacqua and his Waterlogg Productions, makers of the hilarious Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes, and Uncle Dunkle and Donnie, comes volume 2 in the Best of the Comedy-o-Rama Hour. And it couldn’t come at a better time. The current trend in audiobooks is the revitalization of the classic radio program, and all the publishers are doing it. From Doc Savage, to The Black Mask, to NPR’s Car Talk, it seems that America is rediscovering the joys of the spoken word. And Joe Bev is adding some very worthwhile products to the market. This audio collection includes clever and witty parodies of old-time classics including The Old Ranger, The Red Hornet, The Silhouette, Brute Ballingham Private Detective, Suspension, and War of the Welles. Highlights of the set include: The Old Ranger: He retired more than 60 years ago, but now the masked rider is back (sort of), for his greatest (not really) and final (most likely) adventure. It’s the Old Ranger! Of course, before the masked rider can hit the trail again, he’ll need his mask (now more gray than black), his trusty steed Aluminum (have you seen the price of silver these days?), and his faithful companion Toronto (now a wealthy silver magnate and businessman). This is a superbly funny parody of one of the greatest radio heroes of all time. The Red Hornet: It’s time for another action-packed episode of The Red Hornet, but there’s a small problem: the star is mysteriously absent. The show must go on, however, and so the director goes out to the street to pull in the first actor he sees. The episode is recorded, therefore, with a stand-in who sounds very much like W C Fields. Can you imagine W C Fields in the serious and dramatic role of the crime-fighting hero The Red Hornet? Yeah, it’s just as funny as what you’re imagining, and then some. Old-time Radio Parodies is up to the usual Waterlogg Productions high standards, featuring a full cast of talented voice actors, and cinema quality music and sound effects. I promise you’ll never be disappointed with how a Waterlogg Production sounds. They even have parodies of commercials like Shouty-O’s (shout for Shouty-O’s!) cereal, and Blue Coal Tires (the only tires you can burn in your furnace after they go flat). We’re talking three hours of non-stop laughs here. Don’t miss out!

Halloween Happening part 2, The Evil Milispore
Herman Tompkins is a snob. He has much more important ...
Herman Tompkins is a snob. He has much more important things to do with his time than sit around chatting with people. In fact, he prides himself on having absolutely no small talk in him. Heck, he doesnt even have any medium talk in him. Naturally, Herman avoids social gatherings at all costs, including, and especially, parties. He is, what you might call in technical terms, a party pooper. So when Herman and his wife Beulah are invited to the annual Halloween bash at their friend Marilyns house his unequivocal answer is no. But you know how it is with married couples. On Halloween night Herman and Beulah are on their way to Marilyns house, in the middle of a torrential downpour no less. But Beulah has a special surprise for Herman on this stormy Halloween night. She knows very well that they will not be arriving at Marilyns house at all, but another more secluded location along the way. This is the night that Beulah is finally going to reveal to her husband exactly who, and what, she is. If there was an award for best husband and wife narrating team, I think the clear winners would be Joe Bevilacqua and Lorie Kellogg. Come to think of it, why isnt there an award for best husband and wife narrating team? Somebody needs to look into that. Anyway, individually, Joe and Lorie are both extremely talented voice artists. They can both do lots of entertaining voices, not just characterizations but whole personalities, and they both have a fine flair for drama, satire, and comedy. Put them together and, well, need I say more? If you havent heard these two at work, youre missing out on something special. If youre looking for a little light listening to get you in the mood for Halloween, look no further. The audio team of Daws Butler, Lorie Kellogg, and Joe Bevilacqua have got you covered. Hey, at only 45 minutes, you could listen to this on the way to your own Halloween party! - Steven Brandt@Audiobook-Heaven http://www.audiobook-heaven.com/2011/10/halloween-happening-by-daws-butler_24.html Halloween Happening A Spooky Story by the Voice of Yogi Bear By Daws Butler Performed by Joe Bevilacqua and Lorie Kellogg Produced with wonderful sound effects and music by Joe Bevilacqua.

Attack of the Creepy Crawly Things from Outer Space by Justin Felix / Halloween Happening by Daws Butler part 1
Based on a short story appearing in Bear ManorMedia book, ...
Based on a short story appearing in Bear ManorMedia book, It's That Time Again: The New Stories of Oldtime Radio volume 1. It is the first radio play to feature Honest Harold, from The Harold Peary show, which made its CBS debut on September 9, 1950. Harold Peary was the creator and main performer for the show. Previously starring on The Great Gildersleeve, Peary took many of Gildy's characteristics along with him to his new Honest Harold character... the "dirty" laugh, singing songs, and closing dialogue over credits were all there with Harold. And that voice. Who could forget that voice? In simple terms, Peary couldn't or wouldn't sound and act differently enough to make listeners forget Gildy, and that made it very tough for the new show to fly. The show was about an older, unmarried guy, Honest Harold Hemp, who lived with his mother and nephew and did a radio homemaker's program. The townsfolk think of him as somewhat of a celebrity, but his girlfriend, Gloria, who works at the station, knows better. The new radio play was produced and directed by Joe Bevilacqua, and performed by Bevilacqua and Lorie Kellogg. --- Herman Tompkins is a snob.

Seven Letters of Love, The Princess without a Palace and Hunting for Smiles written by Pedro Pablo Sacristan and voiced by Lorie Kellogg. Joe Bevilacqua, also known as Joe Bev is primarily known as a radio theater dramatist.
