For the past few months, I have been hard at work remastering the audio recordings I made for this podcast of the episodes that appear in my crime story collection, 8 Tales of Noir. Each of those stories originally aired with royalty free music courtesy of Incompetech.com. However, I have decided that I am going to produce an audio-book version, and I wish to change out that music for original music by my late friend, Mark J. Miller.

Mark was a writer, a musician, a singer, and a teacher. He died last year after a brief illness which was never properly diagnosed, but which quickly spread to his blood causing sepsis. His loss is still jarring. So in Mark's honor, I got permission from his family to use music he recorded for his one-man project which he called Dreamcrush. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to a local charity he was involved with called Team Mojo.

Team Mojo is an NPO which provides music lessons free-of-charge to underprivileged youth. You can lean more about them by visiting their website at teammojofoundation.org. 

The audiobook version of the cover features a photo-manipulation I made of a photo I shot of my then teenage daughter. The ebook cover also featured a photo I shot of my daughter, or at least her left arm. 

​Anyway, for the next several weeks, I will be podcasting the stories again, each re-leveled, cleaned up, and featuring the music of Dreamcrush. The first episode drops September 16. Enjoy.

The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse - Episode Playlist

It’s the height of the Jazz Age, and the roaring twenties are in full-roar in and around London and the English countryside. Bingo Little, the twins, Steggles, and Aunt Agatha are among the banes of young Bertie Wooster’s casual existence; but fortunately, Bertie has his gentleman’s gentleman, his valet, the forever-ready Jeeves to come to his rescue. This novel – or more accurately this narrative collection of brief interludes – is the perfect introduction to the writings of P.G. Wodehouse, the comedic voice of a generation and time nearly a century hence, but as familiar and ever-present as Orphan Annie and Charlie Chaplain.
First published in 1923, The Inimitable Jeeves has finally entered the public domain, and this audio production, originally recorded for the Thrills and Mystery Podcast, is here just in time to usher in the next decade of “roaring” twenties. So dust off your spats, don your finest flapper dress, pour some bathtub gin, and surround yourself in deco architecture as you immerse yourself into Bertie Wooster’s world again for the first time. 

The Inimitable Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in 1923. Now in the Public Domain.

Chapter One: Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum
In my best affected posh British accent, I bring you the legendary Jeeves and Wooster.
Chapter Two: No Wedding Bells for Bingo
​Bertie has agreed to help his pal Bingo Little find matrimonial bliss by getting Little the Elder to agree to the union. What ho!
Chapter Three: Aunt Agatha Speaks Her Mind
​Bertie is hailed by his Aunt Agatha to a hotel in France where he learns she has found for him the perfect wife. Rather.
Chapter Four: Pearls Mean Tears
​Bertie finds himself the guardian of an expensive set of pearls, and oddly enough, Aunt Agatha has just lost a set just like them. Bally mess, what!
Chapter Five: The Pride of the Woosters is Wounded
​When Bingo Little meets Honoria Glossop, he turns to his friend Bertie to help make the love connection a reality. Too bad Jeeves was recently overheard insulting Bertie's brain power and can't be asked to intervene. The blighter!
Chapter Six: The Hero's Reward
​Bertie puts forward his plan to unite Bingo and Honoria with the usual Wooster success. That is to say, not so much.
Chapter Seven: Introducing Claude and Eustace
​Bertie's engagement to Honoria may have hit a snag, if Bertie could only be so lucky, what!
Chapter Eight: Sir Roderick Comes to Lunch
​Bertie has his Aunt Agatha mandated lunch with Sir Roderick. But thanks to Claude and Eustace the whole thing goes a bit rummy, what.
Chapter Nine: A Letter of Introduction
​While visiting America for an extended stay, Bertie gets word from his Aunt Agatha that she expects him to host a visiting young gentleman that Bertie has never before so much as met. Rather bally, what!
Chapter Ten: Strartling Dressiness of a Lift Attendant
​Still in America, and still expected to keep his new charge safe from bad influences, Bertie finds the young gentleman has taken a part in a new musical comedy stage production. That should keep him out of the mix for a while, what. But then Bertie gets another note from Aunt Agatha that puts a wrench to it. Absolutely!
Chapter Eleven: Comrade Bingo
​Recently returned from his visit abroad, Bertie is surprised to run into his chappie, Bingo Little, inciting the masses while wearing chin spinach in the middle of the bloody park, by Jove!
Chapter Twelve: Bingo Has a Bad Goodwood
​Bingo and his false beard make a big show at Goodwood, but his victory is short lived to be sure. Dashed annoying.
Chapter Thirteen: The Great Sermon Handicap
​While visiting a country manner, Bertie learns of the ultimate opportunity to win a few quid by betting on the local clergy's long-windedness. Simply bracing!

Chapter Fourteen: The Purity of the Turf
​Still at Twing, Bertie learns of a new opportunity to bamboozle some of the ready from the old bamboozler himself, Steggles; this time over the events of the annual summer treat. Jolly good.
Chapter Fifteen: The Metropolitan Touch
​That rotter Steggles is at it again, betting this time against the amorous life of young Bingo Little. But with Bertie and Jeeves in his corner,  and all the charm he can muster, Bingo can hardly lose ... can he? Drat!
Chapter Sixteen: The Delayed Exit of Claude and Eustace
The Wooster twin cousins have been exiled to the South African colony by Aunt Agatha for the good of the family, but after Bertie introduces them to a beautiful actress acquaintance, they unilaterally change the plan. Oh, how best to make this pair of blisters biff off?
Chapter Seventeen: Bingo and the Little Woman
​What if I were to tell you that this is yet another chapter in which young Bingo Little falls in love with yet another waitress? And what if I were to tell you that this is yet another chapter in which he enlists Bertie to smooth things over with the uncle?  Ah, but what if I were to tell you that this time there's a twist at the ending? Jolly good.
Chapter Eighteen: All's Well
​Having jumped the broom before getting his uncle's nod, Bingo Little and the Mrs. have come to Bertie to help smooth things over. Fortunately, Bertie and the elder Little have established a camaraderie based on a small white lie, so Bertie decides to use that to his advantage. Unfortunately, his best advantage quickly turns to be his worst disadvantage. Oh, bugger.

Having jumped the broom before getting his uncle's nod, Bingo Little and the Mrs. have come to Bertie to help smooth things over. Fortunately, Bertie and the elder Little have established a camaraderie based on a small white lie, so Bertie decides to use that to his advantage. Unfortunately, his best advantage quickly turns to be his worst disadvantage. Oh, bugger.

The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse was first published in the United States in 1923, the same year that James P. Johnson released his recording of The Charleston, a song specifically composed to accompany the dance craze by the same name which had swept the Speakeasies of the prohibition era. This song, as well as Wodehouse’s stories, the Great Gatsby, flappers, gangsters, and talking pictures have since come to epitomize the roaring twenties. At the time of their publication, copyright law in the United States lasted for 75 years, meaning those works would have entered the public domain 22-years-ago. However, the law was changed two years before the end of the 20th century so that copyright on new works would last the length of an author’s life plus fifty years. This created a need to address all works published prior to 1998 as many of the content creators were still young and could conceivably live for thirty or forty years or more, meaning copyright on works they had generated a few years prior could potentially enter the public domain during their lifetimes. So an agreement was reached and an addendum was crafted such that works written prior to 1998 that were not already in the public domain would have an additional 21 years added to their copyright. Consequently, nothing from 1923 or after has entered the public domain for twenty years, until January 1, of this year. This means that in the US, both The Charleston and The Inimitable Jeeves are available to share, royalty-free.​

What if I were to tell you that this is yet another chapter in which young Bingo Little falls in love with yet another waitress? And what if I were to tell you that this is yet another chapter in which he enlists Bertie to smooth things over with the uncle?  Ah, but what if I were to tell you that this time there's a twist at the ending? Jolly good.

P.G. Wodehouse’s The Inimitable Jeeves was published in England in May of 1923, and in the United States four months later in September where it was first published with the one word title, Jeeves. In the US, Prohibition had been the law for four years at the time of Jeeves’ publication, and would remain so for another nine years. The market crash and the Great Depression were six years in the future, and the Jazz Age had just begun to flourish. Gershwin, Bessie Smith, and Creole music were all the rage. Meanwhile in England, the end of the first World War was still being celebrated. George V was sitting in Buckingham Palace. Women’s suffrage had given British women the vote in 1918, and the war had put them in the workplace, so a new sense of female empowerment had breached society as well. The motorcar was now affordable and plentiful. It was into this reality that Wodehouse released Bertie Wooster and his gentleman’s gentleman, Jeeves, and it was in this world they would remain well into the 1970s.

The Wooster twin cousins have been exiled to the South African colony by Aunt Agatha for the good of the family, but after Bertie introduces them to a beautiful actress acquaintance, they unilaterally change the plan. Oh, how best to make this pair of blisters biff off?

P.G. Wodehouse’s The Inimitable Jeeves was first published in semi-novel form in 1923 in both Britain and the US. However, the individual chapters had already been previously published as eleven separate short stories in The Strand, Cosmopolitan, and The Saturday Evening Post. Several of the stories were broken into pieces to make relatively even chapter lengths, and Wodehouse re-crafted the introductions to give the novel continuity and flow. Wodehouse had previously collected several Jeeves stories in this way in 1919 for My Man Jeeves, and would do so again in 1925 for the collection, Carry On, Jeeves. In forthcoming years, Wodehouse would craft a few more Jeeves and Wooster novels, including Right Ho, Jeeves, The Code of the Woosters, and Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves. The stories would later be adapted for the stage, for radio, and for television.
