Joe Bev will then play his deconstruction, The Red Hornet: "The Motorboat Mystery" - part of Bev's Old-Time Radio Parodies.
"The Green Hornet Meets The Red Hornet" airs on the May 4th edition of The Joe Bev Experience, at 4:30 PM ET. 1:30 pm PT, part of The Joe Bev 3-Hour Block, starting 2:30 pm ET / 11:30 am PT on cultradioagogo.com.
The Green Hornet originated on January 31, 1936, on WXYZ, the same local Detroit station that originated its companion shows The Lone Ranger and Challenge of the Yukon. Beginning April 12, 1938, the station supplied the series to the Mutual Broadcasting System radio network, and then to NBC Blue and its successors, the Blue Network and ABC Network, from November 16, 1939, through September 8, 1950. It returned from September 10 to December 5, 1952. It was sponsored by General Mills from January to August 1948, and by Orange Crush in its brief 1952 run.
Distinguished by its use of classical music for themes and for bridges between scenes, The Green Hornet was "one of radio's best-known and most distinctive juvenile adventure shows". The series detailed the adventures of Britt Reid, debonair newspaper publisher by day, crime-fighting masked hero at night. With his faithful valet Kato, Britt Reid, daring young publisher, matches wits with the Underworld, risking his life so that criminals and racketeers within the law may feel its weight by the sting of the Green Hornet!

These are not old-time radio shows but incredible simulations! Created by veteran audio theater producer Joe Bevilacqua, these humorous half-hours take off on such classic old time radio shows as The Shadow, The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, War of the Worlds, Suspense and The Jack Benny Program. The fine cast includes Joe Bevilacqua, Rick Ramos, Alison Nead, Cathi Tully, William Melillo, Jay Snyder, Peter Cummings, Thomas Babakowski, Peter Nevargic and James Cronin.
Stories include: "The Silhouette", "The Old Ranger", "The Red Hornet", "Brute Ballingham, Private Detective", "Suspension: Waiting for Rochester - To Stop", and "War of the Welles".

"Preserving -- and recreating -- the sounds of old-time radio is Joseph Bevilacqua's passion. Although he did grow up long after radio's golden days, Mr. Bevilacqua, at the tender age of 4, began drawing cartoons and making up voices. Recently, Mr. Bevilacqua put together a series of old-time radio parodies. For example, there's 'The Ol-l-ld Ranger," the 60-yeart-old cowboy has to bit the (alumiunum) bullet, since the silver market has been cornered by that powerful corporate type, Tonto."
- Sandra Gardner, The New York Times
