From Howard Margolin:

This week, Destinies celebrates its 41st anniversary with a one-hour special.

Tune in Friday night, for a look back at the past year of the show, with a blend of the best material of the past year, as well as all-new features.

You'll hear encore readings by authors Patrick Thomas and J. H. Nadler; never-before-aired music from Angelo Panetta, Insensate Machine, and Marco Beltrami; the reasons why the Blue Beetle movie epitomized "Super-hero Fatigue," plus host Howard Margolin's duet with actress Sophie Aldred, and composer Mason Williams and harpist Deborah Henson-Conant teaming up for the annual variation on "Classical Gas."

Christina M. Rau reads her Wonder Woman-inspired poem "Hubris." Patrick Thomas' "Dear Cthulhu" answers a letter from a man who has a strange definition of the word "bibliophile."

And, learn how you can receive your choice of 325 different Destinies exclusive premiums for your pledge of support during this Spring Radiothon special.

From Howard Margolin:

This week, Destinies honors the memory of the late actor Louis Gossett, Jr. with an exclusive live show.

Tune in Friday night, as Dave Campfield, director of the upcoming horror film Awaken the Reaper is joined by the movie's co-producer Bob Brennan, to remember the Oscar-winner, whose last on-camera performance will be seen in the role of Dr. Benjamin Locke.

How did Bob first meet Louis? Was the part of Dr. Locke written specifically for Gossett? What was involved in filming his scenes for the movie? What was it about the script that made the veteran of 67 years in film and television interested in the part? And, when will the film be released?

Find out on Friday, April 19th, at 11:30 PM, when host Howard Margolin, along with Dave Campfield and Bob Brennan discuss the last on-screen work of Louis Gossett, Jr. during this Spring Radiothon Special edition of Destinies-The Voice of Science Fiction.
