  • Before the new Golden Age of audio drama podcasts there were decades of old radio shows that blazed the way. The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society explores these shows, from the 1930s all the way to the 1980s. They include supernatural shows like Lights Out, Quiet Please and Vanishing Point, to crime drama like Dragnet, The Shadow and Jonny Dollar and some of the classic anthology series like Escape and Suspence.

    You get these plus an entertaining discussion after.

  • A delightful combination of story and discussion. The classic pieces are presented in their entirety with brief intros and can be enjoyed independently, if you will. Skipping the chat, however, would be a mistake, as the gents have an enthusiasm about their conversation without delving too far into the nerdery for a filthy casual like myself.

  • Something for everyone

    The radio shows are spooky, nostalgic and funny, sometimes all at the same time. And the hosts are funny and charming. Try one and you’ll probably be hooked.
