Stephen Fry's 7 Deady Sins - I will take each one of the Seven Sins in turn, lay them out on the surgical table and poke, prod, pry and provoke in an attempt to try to anatomise and understand them; I hope and believe it will be, if nothing else, delicious fun and something of a change from the usual run of podcastery.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers The man you just heard is famed actor Vincent Price. While Price was a film star, he had a unique contract which allowed him to act in as much radio as he wanted. By early June 1944 Price was thirty-three years old and had starred on Broadway and appeared in more than ten films. On Thursday June 1st and then again on Monday June 5th for the west coast, Price appeared with Ida Lupino in an episode of Suspense called “Fugue in C Minor.” Written by Lucille Fletcher, it’s a horror story about a widower and woman who fall in love through their sharing of classical music. As their relationship progresses, the woman learns the man’s children think their father murdered their mother and hid her body in a room behind the mechanism of their home’s pipe organ. The instrument is so large it is part of the very structure of the house. While Vincent Price was very comfortable working in radio, many film stars weren’t. By the time this west coast version of Suspense was airing Monday June 5th, 1944 at 9PM over KNX, allied soldiers were in their boats, slowly making their way across the English channel to begin their invasion of the Normandy coast of France. This would be Vincent Price’s last broadcast before departing for military service. For more info on the D Day invasion, tune into Breaking Walls episode 152 which covers the entire broadcast day.
