Old radio shows! I've been listening back through episodes of Suspense (about 400 so far) and there's some great stuff in there. There's some stuff that doesn't age too well, but there's also some surprisingly relatable stories. It's also fascinating to hear ads and snippets of news segments of the time, and to get a window of what people were worried about at that time. Not to mention that some of the episodes are just plain good thrillers that can be genuinely chilling. I can't wait to get through these and move on to The Twilight Zone.

One of my favorites has been "Please Believe Me" (https://youtu.be/J8kbEL1332A?si=ro-K9VK3X3Zi5DMI), the performances are so good.

I love otr as well! Gunsmoke, mysterious traveler, escape etc... My dad got me into them as a kid, and I've never found anybody else who even remotely gives a fuck lol.

It's a shame, people should know that there's hours of great entertainment just waiting to be found! I don't think I could listen to Dragnet straight through like I do the horror/mystery stuff, but the puns with the completely deadpan delivery get me every time. Is Gunsmoke a full continuous story? I need to give that one a listen.

It's episodic, but occasionally references will be made to older episodes. You can totally listen in any order.
