Racketeer Radio KFQX The New Golden Age of Radio
Saturdays at 1:30 PM PST
Bold Venture was a syndicated radio series starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall that aired from 1951 to 1952. Morton Fine and David Friedkin scripted the taped series for Bogart’s Santana Productions.
Salty seadog Slate Shannon (Bogart) owns a Cuban hotel, Shannon’s Place, sheltering an assortment of treasure hunters, revolutionaries, and other shady characters. With his sidekick and ward, the sultry Sailor Duval (Bacall), tagging along, he encounters modern-day pirates and other tough situations while navigating the waters around Havana. Aboard his boat, the Bold Venture, Slate and Sailor experience “adventure, intrigue, mystery and romance in the sultry settings of tropical Havana and the mysterious islands of the Caribbean.”
The Make Believe Ballroom carries on the traditions of past hosts Martin Block, Al Jarvis, William B Williams, and Steve Allen by bringing you the greatest hits of the 1930s and 1940s. With the exception of brief periods, the program has been broadcast almost continuously since then. Now, Jeff Bressler is the current host of The Make Believe Ballroom and is on Racketeer Radio KFQX each Wednesday evening beginning at 4PM PST. No cover, no minimum, just sit back and enjoy.
