Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine has announced a new addition to their
website. One which mysterylovers will like!
Audio readings and dramatizations by the world's leading suspense
writers. Yes Podcasts,(which are in fact mp3 files). So visit their
new Podcast page today. The page will host monthly readings and
dramatizations of stories by the world's leading writers of suspense,
chosen from the magazine's archives and introduced by editor Janet
Hutchings.
The full range of the genre is represented in these riveting audio
renditions, from the drawing-room mystery to urban noir——including
police procedurals, private-eye tales, psychological suspense, and
locked-room and impossible-crime stories.
In keeping with their roots the first Podcast they put up was one by
Ellery Queen "The Myna Birds". Ellery Queen
receives a phone call from a murder victim in this clever play
involving a witness of another species. Taken from the story entitled "Cut,
Cut, Cut!" (EQMM,Sep 1956) which was collected in
Queen's Bureau of Investigation.
We also added a new scanrequest (click on the camera
above or here). New covers

Less than two days it took Bill Vande Water to find the sheetmusic
for Elmer Bernstein's 'Ellery Queen Theme'.
So much for our challenge to the reader last month. Bill, who actually
wrote a article "Frederic Dannay, BSI"
in EQMM (Feb.2005), works in the CBS archives in
NYC, and had the pleasure of meeting him this August.
Don't think it was this large advantage which got him the sheetmusic. A
walk to the Lincoln Center Library did the trick...
I love people who have an eye for detail and who are willing to put in
the effort.
The sheetmusic made another friend of mine happy... which goes to show
the world really is round :-)
Thanks to Bill we finally found confirmation of
Dannay/Lee first appearance on American
radio in 1932...
