Known for its sharp irony and unforgettable twists, this show reminds us that fate always has the final say… and it rarely plays fair. Our first tale, "Death Has a Thirst" (1942), takes us on a troubled sea voyage where a strained marriage, a so-called friend, and the question of inherited madness collide. Can you outrun what's inside you… or does it simply wait for the right moment to surface? Then in "Lucky Night" (1945), a sudden accident turns into unexpected fortune for a pair of tightfisted boarding house owners. But as luck rolls in, so do complications—proving that sometimes the best things in life come with the highest price. Two stories. Two chances at something better. And two reminders that getting what you want… might not be the happy ending you had in mind. So sit back, relax, and remember—everything will be just fine. Probably. In This Episode A brief history of The Whistler and its unique storytelling style "Death Has a Thirst" – A troubled marriage, a shipwreck, and fate closing in Themes of heredity, escape, and inevitability "Lucky Night" – When bad luck becomes very good… or does it?

Originally written by Curt Siodmak and brought to life on the legendary radio program Suspense, this story explores what happens when science pushes beyond its moral limits. Starring Orson Welles as Dr. Patrick Cory, this 1944 broadcast was originally presented over two nights. For this episode, Ron has carefully edited the two parts into a single, seamless story—removing original commercials and smoothing the narrative for a more immersive listening experience. At its core, Donovan's Brain is more than just a horror story. It's a haunting exploration of identity, control, and the consequences of tampering with forces we may not fully understand. And as technology continues to evolve in our modern world, its themes feel more relevant than ever. So dim the lights, settle in, and prepare yourself… because some minds refuse to stay silent—even after death. In This Episode The origins of Donovan's Brain in pulp fiction and radio drama A look at Suspense and its unforgettable adaptation Orson Welles' powerful performance as Dr. Patrick Cory A fully restored and edited version of the original two-part broadcast The moral dilemma behind keeping a human brain alive A mid-story discussion on science, ethics, and the nature of consciousness Post-story reflections on "what if" the brain had belonged to someone else Final thoughts connecting the story to modern technology and AI Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at audibletrial.com/ronsamazingstories.

We're bringing you a classic old-time radio detective double feature, featuring two gripping cases. From a client who never gets the chance to explain himself… to a witness who seems to vanish into thin air… these stories remind us that sometimes the most dangerous place to be… is close to the truth. So settle in, dim the lights, and keep your story straight—because tonight, someone is working very hard at silencing the truth. In This Episode A classic detective double feature featuring two legendary radio investigators Richard Diamond, Private Detective – "The Evan's Farmer Case" (8/23/1950) - A wealthy client calls for help… but doesn't survive long enough to explain why Diamond must solve a case with nothing but questions—and a body on the pavement Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar – "Witness, Witness, Who's Got The Witness" (10/22/1949) - A missing witness turns into a deadly chain of events. Johnny Dollar finds himself in the crosshairs as the truth gets closer Ron talks about the connecting theme of silenced voices and missing witnesses Commentary and narration that tie both stories into one chilling idea: What happens when the truth has no one left to tell it? Two detectives. Two cases. One unsettling pattern— the truth is out there… but someone is making sure it stays buried.

Originally released in 1950 and starring James Stewart, Broken Arrow tells a story inspired by the real-life friendship between Apache leader Cochise and U.S. Army scout Tom Jeffords. While the film takes its share of dramatic liberties, it was one of the first major Westerns to present Native Americans in a more thoughtful and sympathetic way. Our Story comes from the golden age of radio, as Screen Directors Playhouse brings the action to life—featuring James Stewart, Jeff Chandler, and Debra Paget reprising their roles from the original film.

Would you fix a mistake? Change the course of history? Save someone? Or would one small action send shockwaves into the present? This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we explore two unforgettable science fiction tales that tackle one of the genre's most fascinating questions: Can the past truly be changed? First, we journey back to the age of dinosaurs in "A Sound of Thunder," based on the classic story by Ray Bradburyand originally broadcast on SF '68. A wealthy hunter travels millions of years into the past for the ultimate trophy — but one misstep may alter the future in ways no one expects. Then, from the legendary radio series X Minus One, we present "Time and Time Again." A soldier on the brink of death finds himself thrown backward in time — and attempts to change history. But is the past something we can rewrite… or is it already written? In This Episode: The science (and speculation) behind time travel The danger of paradoxes and the famous "butterfly effect" "A Sound of Thunder" – time tourism with catastrophic consequences "Time and Time Again" – can one man alter history? The idea that the past may be fixed — and why that might be comforting Thank you for listening to Ron's Amazing Stories.

The 1950s were fascinated with the Red Planet. From invasion fears to philosophical first contact, Martians were everywhere. Tonight, we present two outstanding radio dramas that explore humanity's encounter with Mars in very different ways. One throws a parade. The other hires a detective. Both ask timeless questions about who we are when faced with the unknown. In This Episode "The Parade" – Dimension X (8/25/1950) Based on a story by Ray Bradbury, an advertising agency is hired to organize a grand parade for visitors from Mars. It's thoughtful, eerie, and builds toward a quiet twist that lingers long after the final line. "The Embassy" – X Minus One (7/28/1955) A private detective is tasked with locating the Martian embassy on Earth. A noir-tinged science fiction tale that trades ray guns for moral dilemmas and asks deeper questions about identity and belonging. These two classics showcase the brilliance of golden age radio storytelling. No flashy effects. No over-the-top spectacle. Just strong writing, sharp performances, and ideas that still resonate decades later. The 1950s may be remembered as the era of Martian invasion, but beneath the flying saucers were stories about fear, curiosity, and what it truly means to be human. So sit back, dim the lights, and listen closely. You never know who might be knocking.

The 1950s were fascinated with the Red Planet. From invasion fears to philosophical first contact, Martians were everywhere. Tonight, we present two outstanding radio dramas that explore humanity's encounter with Mars in very different ways. One throws a parade. The other hires a detective. Both ask timeless questions about who we are when faced with the unknown.

Originally released as a motion picture in 1938 by United Artists, Trade Winds was directed by Tay Garnett and based on his own story. The film starred Fredric March and Joan Bennett and delivered a stylish murder mystery that spanned oceans and continents. Tonight's presentation comes from Lux Radio Theatre, which adapted the story for radio and first broadcast it on March 4, 1940. This version stars Errol Flynn as Sam Wye, a charming, globe-hopping detective on the trail of a fugitive heiress—played once again by Joan Bennett. The cast also features Mary Astor and Ralph Bellamy, making this a true Hollywood showcase brought straight to the airwaves. We'll also wrap things up with a listener Q&A, where Ron shares why old time radio remains such a powerful—and personal—connection to history. Sit back, relax, and let the trade winds carry you away.

At the center stands Marshal Matt Dillon, facing threats born of desperation, ambition, and the belief that violence creates legends. One story traps Matt in a snowbound cabin with killers who have already crossed the line. The other brings danger directly into Dodge City, carried by a man eager to make a name for himself at the wrong end of a gun. Two stories. Two kinds of danger. One lawman.

Known for its tales of danger, obsession, and the darker corners of human (and animal) behavior, Escape rarely pulled its punches. In this double feature, we explore what happens when the natural world breaks its unspoken contract with mankind. Our first story, "A Shipment of Mute Fate," stars Jack Webb in a harrowing tale of obsession and deadly cargo. A hunt for the world's most dangerous snake—the legendary bushmaster—leads to a sea voyage where danger coils silently in the shadows. Our second story, "The Birds," is based on the chilling work of Daphne du Maurier. Set in post–World War II England, it tells the story of a quiet community suddenly and violently besieged by flocks of birds acting with terrifying purpose. The tale later inspired Alfred Hitchcock's classic film, but its radio version remains just as unsettling. Two stories. Two species. One warning. Nature is patient… until it isn't.

First published in 1950, Bradbury's interconnected stories of Mars weren't really about rockets or planets. They were about us — our memories, our habits, and the things we carry with us wherever we go. Tonight's program features two outstanding radio adaptations from NBC's classic series Dimension X, bringing Bradbury's Mars to life through sound and imagination alone. In This Episode A personal reflection on discovering The Martian Chronicles in a high school English class A brief history of Ray Bradbury and the creation of The Martian Chronicles "Mars Is Heaven!" — a haunting early expedition where Mars feels a little too familiar "—And the Moon Be Still as Bright" — the fourth mission to Mars, and the cost of changing a new world A reflective commentary on Bradbury's warnings, radio storytelling, and why these stories still matter today Bradbury once said he wasn't trying to predict the future — he was trying to prevent it. Decades later, his stories still ask the same quiet question: when we reach somewhere new, do we listen first… or do we remake it in our own image?

The Story comes from Lux Radio Theatre: the radio adaptation of the MGM film Flight Command. Released in 1940, the film starred Robert Taylor, Ruth Hussey, and Walter Pidgeon, with all three reprising their roles for radio. It was the first Hollywood film to openly glorify the American military after the outbreak of World War II in Europe—arriving a full year before the United States entered the conflict. The story follows Navy Ensign Alan Drake, a rookie pilot assigned to an elite fighter squadron known as the "Hellcats." Struggling with early mistakes and a damaging misunderstanding, Drake must ultimately prove his skill, courage, and character during a dangerous test of new blind-landing equipment. In the opening segment, Ron explores Flight Command's place in history and its quiet role in preparing audiences for the realities ahead. Before the story begins, we look at the real-life inspiration behind the film's squadron: Fighting Squadron 8 (VF-8), one of the Navy's early elite aviation units. In the closing segment, Ron discusses the real-world invention that made the film's dramatic finale possible—the early instrument landing systems that allowed pilots to land safely in zero-visibility conditions, forever changing aviation. A story of duty, discipline, and courage in uncertain times—this is Flight Command.

In the opening segment, Ron explores Flight Command's place in history and its quiet role in preparing audiences for the realities ahead. Before the story begins, we look at the real-life inspiration behind the film's squadron: Fighting Squadron 8 (VF-8), one of the Navy's early elite aviation units. In the closing segment, Ron discusses the real-world invention that made the film's dramatic finale possible—the early instrument landing systems that allowed pilots to land safely in zero-visibility conditions, forever changing aviation. A story of duty, discipline, and courage in uncertain times—this is Flight Command.

We're featuring two classic old-time radio programs that built their reputations on unseen narrators and atmospheric storytelling: The Shadow and The Whistler. Each one whispers from the darkness, but with personalities that couldn't be more different. Our first story is "Death House Rescue" from The Shadow, originally aired on September 26, 1937. In this tale, a man is wrongly sentenced to die for killing a policeman during a bank robbery. The Shadow steps in, using his uncanny ability to slip into the minds of others to uncover the truth. After the first story, we take a short break to talk about the two famous narrators—how they guided generations of listeners while staying completely unseen. Then we turn to "Not If I Kill You First" from The Whistler, broadcast February 12, 1944. It's a dark tale of greed, betrayal, and the promise of $30,000—though the loser pays with more than just money. We close the show by tying these two shadowy voices together and share a bonus segment with some fun trivia from the golden age of radio. If you love atmospheric drama, classic crime stories, or simply enjoy wandering the dimly lit hallways of radio's past, this is your episode.

Both reprise their roles, bringing the swashbuckling tale to life all over again. We take a moment to explore the real history behind the story—its roots in the Monmouth Rebellion, the fictional-yet-inspired character of Dr. Peter Blood, and the bold musical choices of composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold, whose groundbreaking score helped usher in the era of full symphonic soundtracks. And at the end of the show, we answer a listener email from John Pierce of Oklahoma City, who wants to know why Alan Ladd ranks so highly on my personal list of Hollywood greats.

We kick things off with the very first adventure Dan Holiday ever tackled, The First Letter. Then we follow it up with one of the most listened-to stories of the entire run, The Professor and The Puzzle. Between the two tales, we take a humorous look at the advice columnists of the 1950s—those brave souls who solved life's everyday mysteries one letter at a time. This episode also marks a milestone: we close out the last known radio acting done by Alan Ladd. Known is the key word—because the world of old-time radio is full of surprises. I may continue with more Box 13 stories in the future, and if you know of any Ladd broadcasts I haven't covered, let me know! In This Episode Box 13 – "The First Letter" The pilot episode that sets Dan Holiday's unique career of adventure in motion.

Our theme this time is time and perception, and we've got two unforgettable stories that explore both. Our first tale is Time On My Hands, a husband and wife set out to do the impossible — go back in time to stop Adolf Hitler. Can history be rewritten, or is time itself the one enemy no man can defeat? Then, we'll step into A World of Darkness (January 20, 1944). Told through the eyes — or rather, the ears — of a blind man, this gripping mystery reveals how sound can paint pictures far more vivid than sight ever could. Between these stories, we'll pause for a brief look at the history of Suspense, the show that kept listeners on edge for over two decades and closed the curtain on radio's golden era. Featured Stories: Suspense – "Time On My Hands" (9/25/1960) Suspense – "A World Of Darkness" (1/20/1944) Also in this episode: A short history of Suspense The real science behind how the blind "see" without sight Ron's thoughts on the impossibility of changing time A special Thanksgiving episode teaser — send in your ideas!

It's about a smooth gangster drafted into the Army who finds himself on an unexpected road to redemption. The radio version aired in 1951 and ran a full hour, giving it time to capture the wit, grit, and heart of the original film.

It's a double dose of fright from one of old-time radio's finest — Inner Sanctum Mysteries. We'll hear two unforgettable tales: Dead Man's Vengeance (October 7, 1944) – A chilling story where the host himself, Raymond, becomes the target of a supernatural hit list. The Corridor of Doom (October 23, 1945) – Starring the great Boris Karloff, this haunting tale follows a man lost in a hospital corridor that may lead straight into madness. Between the stories, Ron dives deep into Inner Sanctum's eerie history — its creaking doors, its pun-loving host, and its strange ability to make us both laugh and shiver. He also reflects on why we like to be scared and what keeps these old tales alive more than 80 years later. So, pull up a chair, dim the lights, and join us for one last visit to the shadows.

It's a double dose of fright from one of old-time radio's finest — Inner Sanctum Mysteries. We'll hear two unforgettable tales: Dead Man's Vengeance (October 7, 1944) – A chilling story where the host himself, Raymond, becomes the target of a supernatural hit list. The Corridor of Doom (October 23, 1945) – Starring the great Boris Karloff, this haunting tale follows a man lost in a hospital corridor that may lead straight into madness. Between the stories, Ron dives deep into Inner Sanctum's eerie history — its creaking doors, its pun-loving host, and its strange ability to make us both laugh and shiver. He also reflects on why we like to be scared and what keeps these old tales alive more than 80 years later. So, pull up a chair, dim the lights, and join us for one last visit to the shadows. What You Will Hear The chilling world of Inner Sanctum Mysteries A discussion on why fear entertains us Insights into Boris Karloff's legendary career Classic audio from two of radio's creepiest stories A fond farewell to the Month of Spooky Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at audibletrial.com/ronsamazingstories.

Our first tale stars Bob Hope in the Screen Directors Playhouse adaptation of The Ghost Breakers (April 3rd, 1949). It's a spooky romp filled with witty one-liners, mistaken identities, and a manor full of "boo"s and belly laughs. Then, we trade laughter for goosebumps with Suspense's Ghost Hunt (June 23rd, 1949). A radio host spends the night in a haunted mansion where the echoes might be more than just sound effects. It's one of the creepiest stories ever broadcast. Between our two stories, I'll be talking about why we love to scare ourselves, how humor helps us face our fears, and a few real-life haunted homes that continue to keep the lights on—and the whispers going. So, grab your flashlight and your funny bone—because this week we're exploring Comedy and Creeps: A Haunted Double Feature.

Originally aired on February 22, 1955, this broadcast stars Alan Ladd, who reprises his iconic role from the 1953 film of the same name. We'll take a look at the movie that redefined the western genre, talk about the incredible run of Lux Radio Theater, and explore why the 1950s were the golden age of cowboy storytelling. Along the way, we'll cover the film's massive box office success, its impact on the "adult western," and even how Hollywood managed to make Alan Ladd look larger-than-life—despite being five-foot-six. And as a bonus, stick around after the main goodbye for a little extra cowboy wisdom and humor. Because when it comes to Shane, you never want to leave the campfire too early. What You'll Hear This Week: The story behind the 1953 classic film Shane How Lux Radio Theater brought Hollywood to the airwaves Why westerns ruled the 1950s The surprising box office success of Shane And, of course, the full radio adaptation starring Alan Ladd So, tighten your saddle, pour yourself a black coffee (no lattes for Shane), and join me for a ride through one of the greatest westerns ever told.

Originally aired on February 22, 1955, this broadcast stars Alan Ladd, who reprises his iconic role from the 1953 film of the same name. We'll take a look at the movie that redefined the western genre, talk about the incredible run of Lux Radio Theater, and explore why the 1950s were the golden age of cowboy storytelling. Along the way, we'll cover the film's massive box office success, its impact on the "adult western," and even how Hollywood managed to make Alan Ladd look larger-than-life—despite being five-foot-six. And as a bonus, stick around after the main goodbye for a little extra cowboy wisdom and humor. Because when it comes to Shane, you never want to leave the campfire too early. What You'll Hear This Week: The story behind the 1953 classic film Shane How Lux Radio Theater brought Hollywood to the airwaves Why westerns ruled the 1950s The surprising box office success of Shane And, of course, the full radio adaptation starring Alan Ladd So, tighten your saddle, pour yourself a black coffee (no lattes for Shane), and join me for a ride through one of the greatest westerns ever told.

Our first tale comes from the series Escape and is titled Conquerer's Isle. Three Navy flyers, lost in the South China Sea, discover a secret underground civilization that sees them as little more than pets. It's a strange mix of survival, science fiction, and a chilling vision of humanity's "next stage." Then, we turn from fantasy to history with Cavalcade of America's Railroad Builders, which first aired on April 15th, 1936. It honors the men who laid steel tracks across mountains, plains, and rivers—building a pathway that connected a nation. Two very different stories—one imagined, one real—but both remind us of the courage, toil, and spirit of labor. So, fire up the grill, grab a cool drink, and settle in for this Labor Day adventure.

Originally released as a film in 1943 and starring Joseph Cotten and Teresa Wright, the story gets a radio makeover in the Screen Director's Playhouse adaptation from November 1950. This time, none other than Cary Grant steps into the role of Uncle Charlie, bringing his trademark charm with an unsettling twist. What makes Shadow of a Doubt stand out in Hitchcock's catalog is its unique suspense style. We, the audience, know from the beginning that Uncle Charlie has a dark secret. The real tension comes from watching his niece slowly uncover the horrifying truth about the man she once adored. It's a masterclass in slow-burn suspense, set against the deceptively cozy backdrop of small-town America. On the podcast today, you'll hear: Background on Alfred Hitchcock's 1943 masterpiece. Cary Grant's turn as Uncle Charlie in the 1950 radio adaptation. A full presentation of the Screen Director's Playhouse episode of Shadow of a Doubt. So, grab your headphones, settle into your favorite chair, and prepare for a suspenseful ride into Hitchcock territory. As always, stay tuned after the play for my thoughts and a few laughs to lighten the mood.

Our featured story comes from the Lux Radio Theater and is titled Island In The Sky. It stars Dick Powell as pilot John Dooley, who must lead his crew to survival after their plane is forced down in Labrador's icy barrens. Before it was a radio play, Island In The Sky was a 1953 film starring none other than John Wayne. And here's the real kicker—it's based on a true story from the pen (and cockpit) of Ernest K. Gann, who lived through similar events as a WWII pilot. This isn't just high drama—it's history in action. So, grab your headphones and maybe a warm blanket—because this tale is going to chill you to the bone. What you'll hear in this episode: A short background on the film, the radio play, and the true events that inspired it. Dick Powell stepping into the cockpit as John Dooley. A full broadcast of the Lux Radio Theater production Island In The Sky. Ron's commentary on survival, teamwork, and a few laughs along the way. Listening time: About 1 hour.

What begins as idle tuning on a battered Zenith Trans-Oceanic turns into something much stranger: two complete old-time radio programs surfacing on a signal that shouldn't exist. First, from the hypnotic and unsettling world of Quiet, Please, we hear "Whence Came You?" (1948) — a slow-burn tale of an archaeologist in Egypt who discovers far more than ancient ruins. Then, without warning, the dial delivers us into the grim territory of Lights Out with "Knock at the Door" (1942), a short, shocking story that might have you keeping the lights on tonight. But the night has one more surprise: a fleeting, unexplained transmission — a whisper, a burst of Morse code, and a voice warning, "…don't let him open the door—" before vanishing into silence. Was it an atmospheric fluke? A hidden rebroadcast? Or did we stumble into a station that exists somewhere beyond the usual airwaves? Tune in, lean close, and decide for yourself.

Can you believe it? Seven hundred episodes of time travel through tales, truth, and the occasional trench-coated raccoon. More on that in a bit. Today's journey starts deep in the heart of Secrets of Scotland Yard, the legendary radio drama that pulled back the curtain on some of Britain's most chilling cases. We'll share two classic episodes, each steeped in mystery, crime, and a touch of old-world British grit: Featured Stories: "The Man with the Violin: The Charles Peace Case" Meet Charles Peace—by day, a violinist and gentleman. By night, a rooftop-scaling, disguise-wearing, cold-blooded killer. His tale winds through 19th-century rooftops and courtrooms, ending, as many true crimes do, with a noose and a gasp. Bonus Ron Fact: Charles Peace inspired a 1949 British crime film, and every bit of his story—from obsession to execution—is documented history. "Just A Matchstick And A Duster" A peculiar little tale about two ordinary items and a rather extraordinary crime. Though no concrete history backs this one up, the mystery remains... and sometimes, that's the fun of it. Special Segment: Don's Astounding Stories Hits 700 In celebration of our 700th episode, we share the completely true and not-at-all embellished tale of Don's Astounding Stories, a podcast that defied logic, common sense, and multiple cease-and-desist letters to reach its own 700-episode milestone. From answering machines to AI co-hosts and spam busts, this satirical tribute reminds us all: you don't need polish to have persistence. You just need Don... and possibly a backup host made of kitchen appliances.

We head into the murky world of eavesdropping, unspoken truths, and the heavy price of hearing too much. With two chilling tales from the golden age of radio, we explore how curiosity doesn't just kill the cat—it occasionally takes a few bystanders with it. Stories Featured: The Whistler – "The Witness" - Original Air Date: July 8, 1951 - A brilliant young architect sees his career implode—only to be offered a lifeline from a coworker with a price. When ambition mixes with manipulation, the cost of success may be far higher than anyone imagined. Suspense – "Sorry, Wrong Number" - Original Air Date: May 25, 1943 - Written by Lucille Fletcher. Starring Agnes Moorehead in her most legendary radio performance. An invalid woman, confined to her bed, overhears a phone call that pulls her into a deadly web. Frantic, powerless, and unheard—her night spirals into sheer terror. Host's Note: From architects of fate to victims of coincidence, both tales remind us that sometimes, hearing too much—or seeing too clearly—can be the beginning of the end. Evil doesn't knock. It whispers. And if you're unlucky enough to be listening... well, you've already invited it in.

When ambition mixes with manipulation, the cost of success may be far higher than anyone imagined. Suspense – "Sorry, Wrong Number" - Original Air Date: May 25, 1943 - Written by Lucille Fletcher. Starring Agnes Moorehead in her most legendary radio performance. An invalid woman, confined to her bed, overhears a phone call that pulls her into a deadly web. Frantic, powerless, and unheard—her night spirals into sheer terror. Host's Note: From architects of fate to victims of coincidence, both tales remind us that sometimes, hearing too much—or seeing too clearly—can be the beginning of the end. Evil doesn't knock. It whispers. And if you're unlucky enough to be listening... well, you've already invited it in.

Imagine standing at the mythical "Lake of Wisdom," only to find that even shallow waters can reflect the sky.

Take on Ron's challenge: Can you figure out the twisted thread tying them together? Story 1: Like Man, Somebody Dig Me Series: Suspense Aired: May 25, 1958 Synopsis: A tale straight from the Beatnik era—cool cats, existential dread, and a man determined to exhaust everyone he meets. It's a wild ride through history's most dramatically unimpressed generation. Story 2: The Outer Limit Series: X Minus One Aired: November 11, 1955 Synopsis: Fasten your seatbelts for a leap into the "future"—1965, that is—where experimental rocket tests set the stage for humanity's triumphs and cautionary tales. Spoiler: Things don't go exactly as planned. Did you spot the connection between these two tales? Was it delusion, inspiration, or something more? Share your thoughts—we'd love to hear from you.

This period was marked by the extraordinary talents of character actors who brought stories to life through the power of their voices. Last week, we explored the remarkable career of William Conrad and his significant contributions. This time we shift our focus to another versatile icon of that era—Dick Powell. Known for his dynamic range, Powell seamlessly transitioned from being a charming crooner in musical films to embodying the quintessential hard-boiled detective in radio dramas. His career spanned from the 1930s to the 1950s, leaving an indelible mark not just as an actor, but also as a singer, musician, producer, director, and even a studio head. In this episode we will talk about that career and play two stories from his radio series "Richard Diamond, Private Detective" and "Rogue's Gallery." Join us as we celebrate Dick Powell's legacy, listen to some of his iconic performances, and appreciate the lasting impact he had on radio storytelling.

But today, we're shifting gears to showcase a different side of this versatile actor. While many remember Stewart for his iconic roles in Westerns, his talents stretched far beyond, gracing dramas, spy thrillers, suspense films, and even a unique role involving conversations with an imaginary six-foot rabbit in "Harvey"—a comedy with surprisingly profound themes. Comedy from the golden age of radio isn't something we've often explored on this podcast. Truth be told, humor from that era can feel a bit dated. However, today's feature, "The Jackpot," defies that trend. This 1950 comedy film, directed by Walter Lang and starring Jimmy Stewart alongside Barbara Hale, was inspired by a real-life event where James P. Caffrey of Rhode Island won $24,000 worth of merchandise on the CBS radio quiz show, "Sing It Again." Imagine the chaos of winning a ton of raw beef without owning a freezer! While the film has faded from the limelight, preserved only in the 20th Century Fox Cinema Archives since 2012, we're bringing its radio adaptation to your ears today. Originally broadcast on NBC's Screen Directors Playhouse, Stewart reprises his role with Margaret Truman making her radio debut as his wife, Amy. Get ready for a delightful comedic gem, "The Jackpot," aired originally on April 26, 1951.

Ron will explore the origins of science fiction and its development through the vibrant era of pulp magazines. Many credit the genre to the imaginative minds of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, but it was truly the pulp magazines of the 1930s to the 1950s that brought science fiction into the spotlight, inspiring countless readers with their thrilling tales. In our first story today, "Operation Distress" by Lester del Rey, we explore the dangers of space travel and the ever-present fear of unknown diseases. As we stand on the brink of journeys to Mars, this story brings an eerie relevance to our current times. Lester del Rey, also known as Leonard Knapp, was a prolific writer of the pulp era and contributed significantly to the development of science fiction as we know it today. And in our second tale, "First Contact" from the SciFi series Dimension X, we venture into the depths of space where humans meet an alien civilization for the first time. This story is a captivating exploration of diplomacy and the mysteries of the universe, reminding us of the infinite possibilities that lie beyond.

Originally broadcast on CBS Radio, the show was known for its high-quality production and was often described as "radio's outstanding theater of thrills." Initially orchestrated by the esteemed director William Spier, it featured a wide array of stories, usually focusing on characters in perilous or mysterious situations, often ending with a surprising or sinister twist. One of the most famous episodes, Sorry, Wrong Number, starred Agnes Moorehead and became so popular it was made into a film. Over its two-decade run, Suspense became a staple on radio, influencing future generations of storytelling both in radio and television.

Wells' 1898 novel, War of The Worlds. As a kid, I was both terrified and excited by the thought of life on Mars. We've had War Of The Worlds on the show before, but it was only 30 minutes long and failed to capture the story. So, we have the Lux Radio Theater version, which does a great job telling this fantastic tale. The sound effects alone rival those in the movie, and the acting is even a tad bit better! It was created by Lux Radio Theater and stars Dana Andrews in the role of Professor Clayton Forrester. I think that you are going to enjoy it! The Martians have ruined their planet and have decided to take ours for themselves, removing all humans in the process. I won't give away the ending, but I will say that things don't go as they planned. Featured Story - War Of The Worlds War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by H.G. Wells, first published in 1898. It tells the story of an alien invasion from Mars, where Martians with advanced technology and disregard for human life invade Earth. The narrative is notable for its realistic portrayal of panic and societal breakdown in the face of a superior force. What you will hear is Lux Radio Theater's adaptation of the story. It first aired in August of 1955. Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at audibletrial.com/ronsamazingstories.

Our featured story is Lux Radio Theater's radio adaptation of the 1951 Western film Rawhide, starring Tyrone Power and Susan Hayward. The radio adaptation features Jeffrey Hunter and Donna Reed in the lead roles, with the supporting cast played by the actors from the Gunsmoke radio series. Our story tells the tale of Tom Owens, the clean-cut and sophisticated gentleman son of J. C. Owens of the Overland Mail Company. His father wants his son to learn the business from the ground up, so he sends him west to a remote relay station, Rawhide Pass, to take lessons from stationmaster Sam Todd. Needless to say Tom learns a lot more than he bargained for when he meets a strong-willed woman named Vinnie Holt, and an outlaw Rafe Zimmerman, who had escaped from Huntsville the day before his scheduled hanging for murder.

Then we have two listener stories that defy any kind of explanation. Marc Reese from San Antonio recalls his adventure at Phantom Lake Canal, and Mattie Pittman from Glenns Ferry tells of her encounter with Parma's Angel. Our featured story is titled The Devil Doctor and comes from The Witch's Tale radio series. Also, we have a Johnny Is It True segment all about The DarkSide Of The Moon. We end the show with Ron reading a dark tale suggested by Justin Suttles. Since last week was a bust we are going to complete the Month Of Spooky 2024 this week. As many of you noted and commented on, there was no podcast last week. I had a health issue that landed me in the hospital for a few days. I am still not at my best, but there is a plan to get things back on track. Now, you should press that play button and enjoy the show! Featured Story - The Devil Doctor Our featured story comes from a little known OTR series The Witch's Tale. It was a horror-fantasy radio series which aired from 1931 to 1938 on WOR, The Voice of New York. The tale is titled The Devil Doctor and it is listed as one of the 31 most scary OTR stories ever made. I have to say, I quite agree, and this one is the stuff of nightmares. What happens when you buy an old house and start renovating it? It first aired on January 8, 1934 Other Stories Include - The Other Day, I thought - From Bad Dreams to Bad Hair Days: The Origins of Monsters, The Creature at Phantom Lake Canal, Parma's Angel, Johnny is it True - Dark Side of the Moon, and The Smiling Owl. The Smiling Owl - We have a story called The Smiling Owl. It was recommended to me by Justin Suttles and comes from the website Creepypasta.com. They collect stories much like we do and are focused on the paranormal.

Sylvia Shults and Ron are going to dive into the realm of the supernatural with a spine-tingling first-person ghost story. Join them as they venture into the haunted Wolfen Woods in Spooksville, Arizona, in search of the hidden grave. Also, on the show we have three listener submitted stories. Future Gadgets, a fictional story sent in by Abigail Ackinsen, Tricked on Halloween, a true experience from Bonnie Hernandez, and Cold Shadow from MacSweet302. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. About Sylvia Shults: Sylvia is a Librarian, Author, and Ghost Hunter. She has spent a lifetime in the pursuit of the weird and strange. Her non-fiction works include Ghost of the Illinois River, Fractured Spirits, Fractured Souls, 44 Years in Darkness, The Spirits of Christmas, Days Of The Dead, and her latest release Grave Deeds and Dead Plots. All of her books are available on Amazon and you can find out more on her blog page. Sylvia's Links: Facebook, Twitter, Blog Site, Amazon Author's Page On the Podcast - At the end of the GSWS discussion Sylvia and Ron created a prompt for Google's Gemini. The results are below. Here is the prompt that they came up with: Write a third person ghost story on the east coast in a Victorian style mansion. Ron and Sylvia enter the home to find a table set for afternoon tea waiting for them. Spooky sounds echo through the house. The house is haunted by a clown. The Clown Of Blackwood Manor The rusty wrought iron gates groaned open as Ron and Sylvia steered their car up the overgrown driveway. Looming before them, shrouded in the oppressive humidity of the East Coast summer, stood Blackwood Manor. Its Victorian grandeur had faded, replaced by peeling paint, boarded windows, and an air of ominous neglect. "Charming," Sylvia muttered, her voice heavy with sarcasm. Ron, ever the optimist, simply chuckled and grabbed their bags. The heavy oak door, surprisingly, swung open with a gentle push. Dust motes danced in the shafts of sunlight that pierced the gloom of the entrance hall. A thick layer of dust coated the ornate furniture and the once vibrant Persian rug. An unsettling silence hung in the air, broken only by the distant scuttling of unseen creatures. As they ventured further into the house, a chill settled over them despite the stifling heat. They found themselves in a grand dining room, where a scene awaited them that was both bizarre and unsettling. A long, mahogany table was set for afternoon tea. Fine china cups and saucers sat beside silver teaspoons, and a three-tiered stand held an assortment of pastries that, despite the thick layer of dust, looked eerily fresh. "This is...creepy," Sylvia whispered, her voice barely above a breath. Suddenly, a high-pitched giggle echoed through the room, followed by the distinct squeaking of a rubber shoe on the hardwood floor. Ron and Sylvia exchanged startled glances. "Did you hear that?" Ron asked, his voice betraying a hint of nervousness. Before Sylvia could answer, a teacup lifted from the table, seemingly of its own volition, and shattered against the wall. A cold gust of wind swept through the room, sending the remaining cups and saucers clattering. Terror gripped them. They weren't alone. As they backed away from the table, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was a clown, grotesque and unsettling. Its painted smile was stretched into a nightmarish grin, its eyes two black pits in its chalk-white face. It moved with an unnatural jerkiness, its oversized shoes squeaking with every step. Ron and Sylvia, paralyzed with fear, could only watch as the spectral clown glided towards them. It raised its hand, revealing a long, silver knife glinting in the dim light. A scream tore from Sylvia's throat as she turned and fled, Ron close behind. They scrambled through the house, the clown's maniacal laughter echoing behind them. They raced down hallways, stumbling over unseen obstacles, the clown's squeaking shoes always close behind. Finally, they burst out of the front door and into the blinding sunlight. They didn't stop running until they reached their car, the rusty gates clanging shut behind them like a prison door slamming shut. As they sped away from Blackwood Manor, they could still hear the faint echo of the clown's laughter, a chilling reminder of the horror they had encountered within its walls. They knew they would never return, and the image of the ghostly clown would forever haunt their nightmares.

We'll explore their history, origins, and the stories that have been told about them for centuries. First up, we have a segment called The Other Day I Thought. Ron will share his musings on the truth about monsters. Next, we'll be reviewing the audiobook American Monsters by Linda Godfrey. This book presents some of the strangest creatures known to reside in the United States. Godfrey has done extensive research on these creatures and has compiled a collection of stories and reports that will leave you both fascinated and horrified. Following the book review, we'll have a short story by Gregg, who shares a work of fiction he wrote titled The Monster of Gifford National Forest. This story is a gripping tale of a creature that terrorizes his family in the Pacific Northwest. Our featured story for this episode comes from the OTR series Dark Fantasy and is titled The Sea Phantom. This story is not what you're expecting. It's a chilling tale of a ghost that haunts the depths of the ocean. Next up, we have Johnny Is True: Can You Tell Folklore from Fakery?. Your challenge is to decide which facts are based on real folklore and which ones are completely made up. Finally, we'll end the show with an oddity. I asked Google's Gemini to create a monster tale based on my inputs. The results were...well, you'll just have to listen to find out. Featured Story - The Sea Phantom Our featured story loosely follows the theme of monsters. Dark Fantasy was a short radio series with tales of weird adventures and the supernatural. Although a short series, the stories are amazing with some being way ahead of their time. Our story today visits monsters in the form of ghosts protecting a treasure that is 100s of years old. It is titled The Sea Phantom and it first aired on January 6, 1942.

In the Audible segment we take a quick look at the history of advertising which leads to a very special ad in a very fictional audiobook written by Terry Brooks. The work is titled Magic Kingdom For Sale and I think you are going to like this one. It is one of my favorite novels from the golden age of fantasy. Then we head to our featured story. This one asks the question, how far will you go to end a curse put on you? The story is titled Casting the Runes and comes from the OTR series Escape. We end the show with a brand new edition of Johnny Is It True. I am going to tell you three real stories from history and one…. not so much. Your job is to guess which one I faked.

Have you ever wondered what time travel could be like? Do you have visions of visiting the past to see events play out in real time? But, what if you had to go to the past and attempt to change a mistake to save the future? That is the dilemma that Mac Albin is faced with in the story Of All Possible Worlds written by William Tenn. This is a thought provoking story that should have you thinking, "What If?"

In this episode, we have an extended segment of These Are Your Stories, where listeners share their own eerie and unexplained experiences. First up, Belinda takes us on a tour of one of Hollywood's most famous hotels, known for its haunted history and eerie atmosphere. She recounts tales of strange noises, and ghostly encounters that have cemented the hotel's reputation as a paranormal hotspot. Next, an anonymous listener shares her chilling encounter with black eyed kids—mysterious children with large, black eyes that have been reported in various parts of the world. She describes her terrifying experience with these eerie entities, leaving listeners on the edge of their seats. Finally, Jessica takes us on a wild ride with her incredible tale that unfolded during a drama class. Following that segment, we have a classic double feature in store. The first story, A Thing That Glistened, written by Frank R. Stockton in 1891, transports us to the early age of deep sea diving. Despite its age, the story has a timeless quality and remains captivating with its imaginative storytelling. To conclude the show, we end with a humorous and tongue-in-cheek story called Navy Day by Harry Harrison (One of Ron's favorite authors). This lighthearted tale from 1954 offers a satirical take on the future of technology and the military, leaving listeners with a chuckle and a thought-provoking message. Featured Story - A Thing That Glistened Our featured story comes from a book called Eleven Possible Cases published by Cassell and Company in 1891. This is an anthology composed of eleven short stories from eleven different authors. Our story is titled A Thing That Glistened and it was written by Frank R. Stockton. It was suggested to me by Jamar Linkous from New York. He first read this story as a kid and it stuck with him. Jamar decided to track it down and found it on LibriVox.org. It is a unique story and one that doesn't really sound like something that was written in 1891. Stories Include - The Machine Factory Murder, Hollywood Roosevelt, BEK & Halloween, Under The Desk, A Thing That Glistened, and Navy Day Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at audibletrial.com/ronsamazingstories.
