New podcast: The Joe Bev Experience,"True Taxi Stories"

True Taxi Stories Host Joe Bevilacqua (Joe Bev) COMING SOON TO  BLACKSTONE AUDIO The program begins with an audio excerpt from Bevilacqua's own personal story: Cancer Cabby Chronicles. A diagnosis of cancer is never welcomed by anyone. But for veteran radio producer Joe Bevilacqua  (Joe Bev), his diagnosis had a silver lining. He struck up an unexpected friendship with the cab driver who took him to his radiation treatments, a Chilean immigrant named Patrick Nilo (owner of CJ Cabs, Ellenville, New York) who came to the US in 1973. We go for a ride with them.

Also on the hour, Candid Microphone: Getting Change from a Cab Driver, aired on CBS Radio August 31, 1947.
Candid Microphone was a 1940s radio show which soon became the long-running TV series "Candid Camera" (38 seasons and 1,000+

episodes). The show involved scenarios in which unwitting members of the public would be placed in a situation where unusual things began happening (caused by actors hired by the producers as well as various props). The victim of the prank's reactions would be recorded and at some stage the joke is finally revealed to them.

Joe Bev began making up stories into a tape recorder when he was twelve in 1971. 44 years and hundreds of hours of radio broadcasting later, and he’s still creating unusual audio that defies categorization. Whether it is creating a half-hour radio play, documentaries, features or personal essays for National Public Radio, or performing on stage before a live audience, he has made a career out of imaginative storytelling in the best aural traditions of the past.

Joe Bevilacqua, also known as Joe Bev, is primarily known as a radio theater dramatist, but his career has taken him into every aspect of show business, including stage, film, and television, as a producer, director, writer, actor, and even cartoonist. In 1971 his father bought him a cassette recorder, on which he created his first audio story, Willoughby and the Professor, acting all the voices himself at the age of twelve. In 1975 Daws Butler, the voice of Yogi Bear and many other Hanna-Barbera and Jay Ward cartoon characters, dubbed himself Bevilacqua’s personal mentor after hearing a 120-minute cassette of Willoughby improvisations. Since 1980 Bevilacqua has produced many award-winning radio programs for National Public Radio, Sirius-XM Satellite Radio, and others.

"The Game is a-foot!"
or "Your show is undone"

I recently remastered (from the original master tapes) The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes, my ten-part series of half-hour radio theater, paying homage to the characters of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. You can buy the series on Amazon, iTunes, and Audible for Kindle, Blackberry, Android, iPhone, iPod or iPad download, or CD purchase or rental.

Get The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes

In episode one: "The Mystery of the Creepy Hack Writer," Holmes is 28-year old beggar on Baker Street when Doctor John H. Watson, MD, takes him into his lodgings at 221 Baker Street, London, much to the dismay of Watson's Irish landlady, Mrs. Hudson. Soon, Holmes is thrust into his very case when they are visited by three mysterious men. Who is the creepy hack writer? You will have to listen, to find out!! 

Vernon Morris played Sherlock Holmes

I was inspired to create this radio series, first from reading Conan Doyle's stories. I tried to fill the scripts with sly references to the original "Canon," as it s called. Even the Baker Street Irregulars and other Holmesian groups and scholars have enjoyed this about my series. 

Me with Daws Butler

My second inspiration was Daws Butler, the great voice actor and my mentor. In 1976, Daws wrote a script called "Sherlock Holmes in Trouble," which portrayed Holmes as a booby and Watson as a selfish intellectual using Holmes. It led to several other scripts some if which were produced, including "This Here is Your Life, Sherlock Holmes," written and performed by Daws and his acting workshop. 

The third inspiration came when I met a group of actors I met in the summer of 1982. I was acting in an Off-Broadway play, "Spider's Web" by Lucille Fletcher, author of the great radio play. "Sorry, Wrong Number." I was the mysterious Butler (I didn't do it.) and the cast was rounded out by Brit Vernon Morris, and an American cast of wonderful actors I grew to love over the months we performed for the Meat & Potatoes Company, with no air condition! 

The cast of The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes

My parody of a Holmes
Sidney Paget  illustration.

All the characters in "Spider's Web" had their Holmesian counterparts. I quickly decided to write a ten-part radio drama series, built around the first Daws Butler script, which eventually served as episode three in th plot arc of my series, starring this cast. The Misadentures of Sherlock Holmes premiered in October 1983 on WBAI and ran through 1985. By the time, we were finished, we had ten great, inspired half-hours. 


I later discovered that Ellery Queen had published an anthology of parodies in 1944 also called The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes, and another of the same title edited by Sebastian Wolfe in 1990-91. 

They have since played on public radio stations across the United States, in Canada, England, Australia and New Zealand. Mostly, recently, they aired on XM Radio, since 2003. Vernon Morris was an amazing Holmes, playing him more like Stan Laurel than Basil Rathbone. Henry J. Quinn, though not English, played his Watson as a pompous, lying egotist, the opposite of the Nigel Bruce booby interpretation of the character from the 1940s movies. Henry was a retired FBI agent, who took up acting late and was often seen in sketches on David Letterman. The late Jan Meredith of North Carolina was the nutty but jovial Mrs. Hudson, played as an Irish woman. English actress Gwendolyn Lewis played Holmes's secret love, Irene Adler, as a sexy tone-deaf tart who dreamed of being an opera singer.

The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes by Joe Bevilacqua (Audiobook Review)Audiobook Reviews from Audiobook-Heaven 

Title: The Misadventures of Sherlock HolmesSeries: The Comedy-O-Rama HourAuthor: Joe BevilacquaNarrator: Full castCopyright: 2011, Waterlogg ProductionsDuration: 4 hours, 56 minutesGenres: humor, radio productionFiled in: Audiobook Reviews 

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Fans of the legendary figure of Sherlock Holmes are sure to get a kick out of this. Arthur Conan Doyle spent many years recounting the adventures of the world’s greatest detective, but now the truth is revealed. In these dramatic and hilarious episodes, we find an aging Dr. Watson, finally setting the record straight in the form of his personal journal.

In episode 1, The Mystery of the Creepy Hack Writer, we learn that Sherlock Holmes was a beggar on the streets when Dr. Watson took pity and invited him to stay at his flat on Baker Street. Furthermore, it is revealed that Holmes is little more than a bumbling fool who couldn’t solve his way out of a wet paper bag. Presently, Watson is approached by a hack writer by the name of Arthur Conan Doyle who strikes a deal with Watson. They will co-write a series of detective stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. Of course no one will want to read about a blithering idiot, so they will make Holmes out to be a master of deductive reasoning. 

And so, the legend of Sheer-luck, er I mean Sherlock Holmes begins. As recounted in later episodes, Doyle and Watson’s gimmick is a tremendous success, and the books sell like onion buns. That’s a rather obscure reference, I know, but if you listen to these episodes, you’ll understand.

Of course, you can’t have Sherlock without the nefarious Professor Moriarty. That would be like pickled rhubarb without the toast. Forgive me, another obscure reference. In episode 2, My Dinner at Baker Street, we learn how the two really met, as the foes sit down to dinner. Maybe it was the food that set them off. The landlady, Miss Hudson, served beef brisket and plums, artichoke pudding (she used all the plums in the brisket), a vegetable dish of carrots in mustard and ice cream sauce, and for dessert (you guessed it) pickled rhubarb on milk toast. This was a funny episode as you can imagine. After dinner, Holmes and Moriarty engage in a sword fight, before which Moriarty has to show Holmes how to hold the sword correctly. I got plenty of laughs from this one.

And that’s only the beginning. This volume includes ten episodes in all, explaining in great detail the truth behind the myth. Other episodes include:Sherlock Holmes in Trouble, A Study in Lavendar, The Death of Mr. Sherlock Holmes, The Giant Rat of Sumatra, Tales from the Vienna Wards, His Second to Last Bow, Revenge of the Bee Keeper, and Holmes’ Creepy Christmas.These full cast audio productions include the voice talents of Vernon Morris as Sherlock Holmes, Henry J Quinn as Dr. John Watson, Jan Meredith as Miss Hudson, Ed Hyland as Professor Moriarty, and William Gillette as Arthur Conan Doyle. Other voice artists include Terry Price, Gwendolyn Lewis, B H Barry, and Joe Bevilacqua. Don’t worry if you aren’t familiar with these names, their voice characterizations are as good as any you’ll hear.

Like I said, fans of Sherlock will get a real kick out of these comedies. Personally, I’m not very familiar with Holmes, but I got a kick out of these anyway. The humor is sometimes campy and sometimes rather clever and subtle. And the acting and sound effects are of the highest quality. Give this a try, you won’t be disappointed.

A review from an Audible.com listener: Craig, Williamsport, MD, United States "Roll Over Doyle" - If the Holmesian canon is sacred to you - avoid this book. If, however, you want a good, sarcastic, ironic, well written AND even say silly pastiche, this is your baby. Nothing is sacred - not even the ideas brought forth from the authors themselves. A right jolly romp. BTW The Giant Rat of Sumatra is finally unhinged - as it were.
