"[Barry] Gray, widely credited with creating the talk show format and a fixture on the airwaves for almost half a century… was an itinerant disk jockey – obstreperous and adolescent, he was once called – in California and Florida before being hired at WMCA in New York In 1950." — New York Times, 12/23/1996
From a 1965 press release: "The program originated in Chandler's restaurant, and subsequently was broadcast from such restaurants as Hutton's, the Delmonico Hotel and the Shelton Hotel. One difficulty with broadcasting from restaurants, however, was that only celebrities would agree to be interviewed there. Well-known government officials and political figures would not come to a restaurant to talk. 'Eleanor Roosevelt wouldn't come to a saloon,' as Barry Gray explains. In addition, guests waiting to go on-the-air at a restaurant often passed too much time at the bar. In 1957, to achieve better-balanced programs, the Barry Gray Show moved into the WMCA studios, where it has originated ever since."

I have severe concerns about the ethics (and psychological trauma) of a scientist using his adopted son as a guinea pig in an experiment to implant the memories and experiences of a grown-man into a nine year old kid, so he can be used as an undercover agent, but DAMN if it doesn't have an awesomely 60's Barry Gray theme tune.
And the show gets bonus points for the effects of the "Brain Impluse Galvanascope Record and Transfer" aka BIG RAT only working when Joe wears a pair of glasses (with special electrodes) which are based off the bog standard NHS glasses of the era, giving any number of schoolkids with unflattering eyewear an unexpected shot of confidence.

Fireball XL5
I wish I was a spaceman The fastest guy alive I'd fly you 'round the universe In Fireball XL5 Way out in space together Conquerors of the sky My heart would be a fireball, a fireball Every time I gazed into your starry eyes
We'd take the path to Jupiter And maybe very soon We'd cruise along the Milky Way And land upon the Moon To a wonderland of star dust We'd zoom our way to Mars My heart would be a fireball, a fireball Cause you'd be my Venus of the stars
But though I'm not a spaceman Famous and renowned I'm just a guy that's down to earth With both feet on the ground It's all imagination I'll never reach the stars My heart is still a fireball, a fireball Every time I gaze into your starry eyes My heart is still a fireball, a fireball Every time I gaze into your starry My heart would be a Fireball, a Fireball Cause you would be the angel by my side

Well, I’m glad Tumblr finally let me to post again TODAY that we got the official announcement for Hadestown in UK. There’s no one from the original cast (of course it wouldn’t be, silly old me) but it was a nice hope to have. Uhm, also I feel enamoured by our new Persephone? Like… she is gorgeous, shut up.
Anyway. Here it is 🥰
