    Interview With The Basketcase - Episode 153
    2026/07/05

    Who’s this mysterious Miss Smith who speaks with animals? Will she reveal technological innovations from ladybugs or hamsters or marmosets to augment the power of Regina’s criminal empire? Will this be on the quiz? Listen to find out!Interview With The Basketcase, episode 153 of This Gun in My Hand, was questioned and bugged by Rob Northrup. With special guest Melinda as the voice of Miss Smith (an obvious pseudonym). This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Sisyphus, Eat Your Heart Out, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. What helps hesitant people answer questions? This Gun in My Hand!
    Show Notes:1. I wrote interview questions and Melinda improvised answers based on the stories and world she has developed over decades about cats, ladybugs, hamquatches and other critters. Melinda started a zine around 1996 titled The Basketcase and has used variations on that as her internet handle for most of this century.2. For more adventures with ladybugs and hamsters, listen to: Episode 74, “Fly Away Home.” https://archive.org/details/tgimh-74-fly-away-homeEpisode 78, “Speed Detective.” https://archive.org/details/tgimh-78-speed-detectiveEpisode 133, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Scamper.” https://archive.org/details/tgimh-133-on-her-majestys-secret-scamperHamster Sex commercial in Episode 97, “How Did This Gun in My Hand Get Made.” https://archive.org/details/tgimh-97-how-did-this-gun-in-my-hand-get-made3. Dramatis personae for critters mentioned by name in this episode:Dolores - HamquatchFlicka - LadybugJethro - Marmoset, married to FlickaFlickthro and Jethica - marmobug twins, children of Jethro and FlickaJamyang - Hamyeti4. Tater Tots were developed in 1953 and first sold in stores in 1956. Presumably Hamquatches knew how to make them before that and only shared the recipe with humans later.
    Credits:Music in this episode came from these public domain films:The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and Too Late for Tears (1949, aka Killer Bait). Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

    Not Funny - Episode 154
    2026/07/27

    Can Falk turn over a new leaf? Are there any genres of story he hasn’t explored that would be worth trying? Why are alligators flat? Listen to find out!

    Not Funny, episode 154 of This Gun in My Hand, was stripped of all humor by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Sisyphus, Eat Your Heart Out, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. What keeps everyone around me from laughing? This Gun in My Hand!

    Show Notes:
    1. My mom told me the jokes about elephants jumping out of trees and the original Cherry Pachyderm joke probably 45 years ago.

    2. Columbia Pictures released 28 Blondie films between 1938 and 1950, based on the newspaper comic strip.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blondie_(film_series)

    3. According to etymonline dot com, the word “glitch” is thought to have been in circulation among radio broadcasters since the early 1940s, derived from the Yiddish glitsh, “a slip;” or German glitschen, “to slide or slip,” or gleiten, “to glide.”

    4. You can find several copies of The Lester Dent Master Fiction Plot (or The Lester Dent Formula) online. First published in Writer’s Digest Yearbook 1936.
    https://bruces.medium.com/the-lester-dent-master-plot-formula-by-lester-dent-6779fd822695

    Credits:
    Music in this episode came from these public domain films:
    The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and Too Late for Tears (1949, aka Killer Bait). Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

    Other music during the commercial comes from the film Screaming Mimi (1958), which is available on archive.org. Some blogs claim it’s public domain.

    The image accompanying this episode is a modified detail of the public domain photo “Detail of storefronts, south facade, east side - Indiana Hotel, 5116 Hohman Avenue, Hammond, Lake County, IN.” Photographer and date unknown.
    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Detail_of_storefronts,_south_facade,_east_side_-_Indiana_Hotel,_5116_Hohman_Avenue,_Hammond,_Lake_County,_IN_HABS_IND,45-HAMM,2-17.tif

    Image Alt text: Black and white photo at an angle of first floor store fronts. The letters above windows and awnings show where neon signs have been removed, but the painted backgrounds still read, “PASTEY JEWELRY” and “HAMMOND LOAN CO.” Inside the windows of Pastey Jewelry are closed curtains, no merchandise displayed. The streets are empty. Along the right edge of the photo are notes by the photographer: HABS No. IN-233-17.

    The Rhubarb Jungle - Episode 155
    2026/08/23

    Night in the naked city. An ex-con plans the biggest heist ever seen during the county fair. Will he persuade the rich lawyer to fund the job? Will one of the molls or gunsels queer the deal with a double-cross? Listen to find out!

    The Rhubarb Jungle, episode 155 of This Gun in My Hand, was relished and fruitfully fenced by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books. How do I secure financing for my operation? This Gun in My Hand!

    Show Notes: 1. Why, yes, I did watch The Asphalt Jungle (1950) recently. How did you know? 2. Why, yes, the local county fair is in full swing as I write this episode. How did you know? 3. I could have sworn I had heard “rhubarb” as slang for money, but the internet says it can mean nonsense or an argument. So “that’s a lot of rhubarb” might have meant “that’s nonsense.” Oh well. Dok can be excused since English seems to be his second language.

    Credits: Music in this episode came from these public domain films: The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), Too Late for Tears (1949, aka Killer Bait) and The Big Combo (1955). Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

    Has This Gun in My Hand Ever Happened to You? - Episode 152
    2026/06/04
    Can Falk crack the murder case or will he need help from Inspector Tropesmith, Speed Detective, Emerald Ash Borer or The Ad Hawk? You want a fast resolution or a satisfying one? Listen to find out!Has This Gun in My Hand Ever Happened To You?, episode 152 of This Gun in My Hand, was stunned, hawked, sped up and salvaged by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Sisyphus, Eat Your Heart Out, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. Why have I gathered you all here today? This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. Charters and Caldicott were two minor characters in Hitchcock’s 1938 film The Lady Vanishes. Played by the actors Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne, the pair were popular enough to get three films of their own, though not with Hitchcock. After creative differences with the film studio in 1946, the actors appeared as similar characters with different names in seven other films and five BBC radio productions. A 1985 BBC television series rebooted Charters and Caldicott with new actors.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charters_and_Caldicott2. “Sir, a woman has been murdered in your house, therefore it follows there must be a murderer.” That line is from a teaser for an actual British police procedural show. They use it in a promo on almost every dvd for Acorn TV and the dullness of it kills me every time.Credits:Music in this episode came from these public domain films:The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and Too Late for Tears (1949, aka Killer Bait).

    The Barn Job - Episode 151
    2026/05/22

    Who do you go to when you wanna fence livestock? How do we know the monster is allergic to the Moon? What’s a Lan Golly Yay Leap? Listen to find out!

    The Barn Job, episode 151 of This Gun in My Hand, was stolen and sheared by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Sisyphus, Eat Your Heart Out, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. What do I use to keep farm animals in line? This Gun in My Hand!

    Show Notes:
    1. The internet says alpaca wool is more valuable than llama wool, or at least more marketable. In the US, llamas are used more like guard dogs for herds of other animals, not for harvesting or selling their wool.

    2. The Herb I know in real life who likes Italian sausages from concession stands at the fair would not steal art or livestock, or livestock with art on it. No actual Herbs or Kreutzers or llamas were harmed in the recording of this thing.

    3. The song “Who Put the Bomp” was released by Barry Mann in 1961. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kpVqbCpXck

    Music in this episode came from these public domain films and old time radio shows:

    Love at First Sound - Episode 149
    2026/04/05
    How do you convey love at first sight on an audio-only medium? What does that sound like? What in tarnation has got into you? Listen to find out!Love at First Sound, episode 149 of This Gun in My Hand, was [finger pop from mouth][side of mouth razz][quick burst of siren whistle][GUN_FIRE] by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Sisyphus, Eat Your Heart Out, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. This episode is dedicated to Melinda [TING], and to our good friends Patrick and Anita celebrating their honeymoon on Ganymede. [Ting, Ting!] What’s the best way to coax the delicate flower of love to blossom? This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. I keep trying to make a joke that shows on shortwave radio are second-rate compared with FM radio. Melinda, being a longtime expert, reminded me that people in our time like Alex Jones, ReviewBrah and various cult leaders have to pay extra to have their shows broadcast on shortwave. So maybe it should be considered a status symbol instead of a mark of weakness.2. Listeners have already heard The Cherry Pachyderm’s real name, Latthew Morressier, during his first appearance in episode 24, “Consulting Defectives.” He forgot but I didn’t.https://archive.org/details/tgimh-24-consulting-defectives3. It came out sounding like I’m dragging hillbillies for hoping their kids take the same job their father and grandfather had, but it’s not what I intended. I think this expectation is similar for people all over the US. Even though my grandfather (the master plumber) and my dad (the steamfitter) would be glad I got an office job instead of following in their footsteps, there’s a part of me that feels like I let them down by taking a different path.Credits:Music in this episode came from these public domain films:The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), Too Late for Tears (1949, aka Killer Bait) and The Big Combo (1955).

    Show Notes:
    1. From the Bible, King James Version, Matthew 25:40: “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

    2. Obvious mistake I didn’t notice until after recording. Beer Man says he gained his powers last week. Then he mentions using his powers for three months. Continuity is hard! A no-prize will be awarded to anyone who rationalizes those statements.

    The image accompanying this episode is a modified version of a print ad for ironized yeast, assumed to be public domain, date and artist unknown.

    Image Alt text: Print magazine ad for Ironized Yeast featuring a photo of a woman in a striped bathing suit next to a comic strip. A word balloon above the woman in the photo has her saying ‘If men “hate the sight of you”--read this–.’ In the first panel of the comic, two young men run past an emaciated woman in a black one-piece bathing suit. One of the men says, “Let’s beat it__here comes that skinny dame.” The second ad shows the skinny dame seated wearing a short sleeve top with possibly ragged sleeve edges. As she reads a newspaper with a prominent ad headlined “GAIN 10 LBS,” she says, “Men hate the sight of me, I’m so skinny. I’m going to try Ironized Yeast.” The third panel has a black arrow labeled “A FEW WEEKS LATER” pointing towards the action. A smiling woman filling out a bikini, no longer a skinny dame, poses with one hand on hip and the other on the back of her hair. A young man in dark shorts holds her bicep in one hand, saying, “You’re gorgeous since you’ve gained weight!” Two other men in the background run towards them. Across the bottom, large letters read, “THOUSANDS OF SKINNY GIRLS GAIN 10 TO 20 LBS.–QUICK!”
