To Find Help was first broadcast almost 80 years ago, and yet it can stand competition with any radio drama of today. Sure it has a stellar cast – albeit an unusual one. We usually associate ‘Ol Blue Eyes’ with singing, and even dancing on occasion. In this recording, which was first broadcast on CBS Suspense Radio Drama, January 18th 1945, he plays a pleasant, almost charismatic character – but hey, he’s just a little creepy.

Four poems that are open to interpretation. The Calf Path begins many hundreds of years ago but finishes in major capital cities. The Law of the Land is not only a lesson in Climate Change tactics but also a metaphor for many aspects of life. The Learning Curve is just that, while Euthanasia begins with the line, “Today I nearly killed a woman.”
