2:14:39 – Dave in Kentucky brings back his Killer Serials series, transitioning from Old Time Radio serials to magazine serials, and from homemade song parodies to AI-generated songs. First up: Dashiell Hammett’s The Dain Curse, as it appeared in the pulp magazine Black Mask from late 1928 to early 1929. This first installment (“Black Lives”) is from November 1928, and is thus in the public domain, in this timeline, at least. The reading is by Dave in Kentucky, with occasional feline ambience by Mr. Bean.

Words by Dave in Kentucky, music by Suno.ai (v4.5, except #1 is v5). Soundtrack is thought to be available on Alternate Timeline Records.

Show art: Public-domain covers of the November and December 1928 issues of Black Mask, which contained the first two episodes of the serialized version of The Dain Curse.

2:29:05 – Dave in Kentucky gives his partially-baked views on capitalism vs. a resource-based economy, reviews the 1978 CBS miniseries The Dain Curse, and previews the revival of Killer Serials, after which he is joined by Eddie Murray (on a motorcycle) at 28:51, Chad Bowers (on Noel Black and the death of Western civilization) at 49:52, and Frank Edward Nora (on point, as usual) at 1:43:46.

Next month’s topics: Pandemics, Panspermia & Pandemonium. Record about one, two or all three of these and send audio files or links to DaveKY at mail.com by 6pm Central Time on March 10, 2026.

Show art: Night Windows (1928) by Edward Hopper (1882-1967) depicts our sneaky time traveler from the automat after she has returned to her room and is getting ready for bed, where she will listen to more of the Overnightscape Central before going to sleep.

Opening theme: “It’s Central Time Again” (2024) by Dave in Kentucky and Suno.ai (v3.5). Episode theme (at 1:37): “Views, Reviews & Previews” (2026) by Dave in Kentucky and Suno.ai (v4.5). Closing theme: “Noise Rebellion” (2024) by Eddie Murray and Suno.ai (v3).
