The Western Carolina Classic Radio Club (WCCR) will meet on Monday, March 21 at 2 p.m. in studio 118 on the ICC Polk campus.

The old time radio feature will be an “Escape” program, “Blood Bath,” starring Vincent Price. The program aired on June 30, 1950 and is the story of five men searching for uranium in South America.

“Escape” was a dramatic adventure show that broadcast on CBS from 1947 to 1954 and had William Conrad open the show with “Tired of the everyday grind? Ever dream of a life of…romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you ‘Escape!’”

The radio/TV show will be on of the club’s standard comedy features. Professor Hoyt will entertain the audience at intermission with his trivia quiz.

Around 3:10 p.m., the Winter Jazz Series concludes with a battle of the bands and drums between Buddy Rich and Max Roach. These five piece groups, led by two of the greatest drummers in jazz, will go head to head and face to face on seven selections. The audience will be able to vote and determine the greatest jazz drummer of all time.

All are welcome and the program is free.
