Dew Drop Innuendo - Episode 58

Cartoonish line art drawing of a little girl with a large green bow in her short black hair, wearing a short-sleeved red dress with green polka dots, white collar and white cuffs. She gestures with both hands at her sides. The word balloon above her head says, 'Daddy, what's "dissa bowo?"'How do you solve a problem like exchanging witty banter with a villain when his little girl Maria tags along? Has Falk Zildjian met his match in The Dizzy Bowler? Listen to find out!

Dew Drop Innuendo, episode 58 of This Gun in My Hand, was implied by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog.

Show Notes:
1. A “defenestrator” is someone who kills by throwing people out of windows.
2. Phonebooks were directories published annually or less frequently and distributed to all residents, in which a person could look up the names, telephone numbers and usually addresses of every person or business in a city or region. To remain private, customers actually had to pay the phone company extra to NOT list their personal information. In most cities, phone books were hundreds of pages long and two to three inches thick. It became a cliché for men to demonstrate their strength by tearing a phonebook in half. Yes, Falk Zildjian sometimes uses clichés.

Credits:
The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

Music playing during the “Growing Innovation in Radio Drama” narration was from the public domain film The Scar (aka Hollow Triumph, 1948).
