30:29 – Welcome back to the dimension known as ‘After Hours’. Join us in a night time journey through some conversations in the night cafe, get some late night consumer advice about the dangers of Uber-type taxi services and tune into a radio shock jock as he finds himself confronted with the ‘truth’ about Trump and those ‘UFO Files’. The Man in the Pub’, meanwhile, recalls his encounter with ‘The Man Who Fought Hitler’s Ghost’ – just why are the spectres of some of the twentieth century’s worst dictators assaulting a pub goer on the streets of West London? We wrap up the dark hours with an episode of ‘Weird Shit or What?’ with Bill Shitner, as he tries to get to the bottom of one woman’s terrifying amourous encounters with a number of resurrected horror legends.

7:27 – Dave in Kentucky’s “Killer Serials” series has been presenting Dashiell Hammett’s The Dain Curse as it appeared in Black Mask from late 1928 to early 1929. It features not only Hammett’s original text, now in the public domain, but songs based on the events of the story, turning it into a sort of “mock opera”. Words are by Dave in Kentucky, music and show art by Suno.ai (v4.5). Here’s a sample.

Background: One of the story’s characters, named Gabrielle, is addicted to morphine. Near the end of the story, the protagonist (who is twice her age) helps her kick her habit, despite her being very difficult and disagreeble about the process, as you might expect. Side A, “These Morphine Blues,” is sung from her perspective before her cure; Side B, “Sit Down, She Said,” is from his, after her cure.

26:00 – Continuing the experiment of random Onsug listening! This time we’re trying something different. The clips will be shorter, two minutes and nine seconds each. And there will be 11 instead of 22. And the audio quality will be lower, something like AM radio. Let us embark on this new experiment! (Synchronicity: Disney theme parks.)
