Unlike this podcast, most sources for the CBS Radio Mystery Theater are hit or miss on audio quality. These episodes have clearly been carefully, lovingly improved. Thank you for the efforts in making these historical documents accessible!
I just absolutely loved the newest rendition of this show. I sometimes had a difficult time in listening to the original version. Very hard to hear the story when the background sounds were present. Although I do enjoy hearing the old commercials and news feeds. Thank you so much for sharing your hard work with us.
