My wife and I are so appreciative to hear the restored episodes in this podcast. The clarity is stunning! We like to listen to the episodes on long road trips or in the evening as we are turning in for bed. Like so many, I grew up listening to these episodes - for me, on a small transistor radio in my room. My wife had never heard of CBSRMT before but now listens virtually everyday. I love the timeless quality these episodes have. I even got a reply from Morgan Fairchild once on Twitter as I ask... more

Thank you for these restorations of all episodes!! Can finally hear “The Graveyard” and “the Corpse wrote Shorthand” and other episodes that were impossible to hear before!! So clear now- wow!!
Apple Podcasts5MelanieMalkaUnited States4 months ago - Excellent audio!
Thanks for offering these restored versions of CBSRMT episodes. I worked on a similar project, speed-correcting tapes, carefully adding noise reduction if needed, tweaking the EQ, seamlessly restoring any missing bits of theme music before and after the commercial breaks, etc. I ended up with about 350 programs that sound really good, but you’ve restored dozens of others I don’t have in my own archive. Looking forward to working my way through all of your shows. Thank you!
Apple Podcasts4Clark KauffmanUnited States5 months ago - Great work restoring this series!
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 Thank you for the efforts in making these historical documents accessible!
