Asmr with the classics

In 1952, Orson Welles narrated 52 radio programs for a series on the Mutual Network called "The Black Museum" featuring true stories from the Old Scotland Yard. The program was named after the world-renowned investigative body's former home, a weather stained red brick building sitting in the shadows of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament on the River Thames. It is the oldest museum in the world put together purely for recording crime and contains an infamous collection of memorabilia of grisly crimes of the past. In a unique tribute to the legendary star who died in 1993, "The Black Museum" now returns as a brand new television series featuring Orson Welles' original commentary over filmed dramatizations of the infamous murder mysteries of the Old Scotland Yard. Each episode will feature a leading contemporary star playing a key role in the dramatization.

The Black Museum was a 1951 radio crime drama program produced by Harry Alan Towers for the BBC and based on real-life cases from the files of Scotland Yard's Black Museum. Ira Marion was the scriptwriter, and music for the series was composed and conducted by Sidney Torch.

Orson Welles was both host and narrator for stories of horror and mystery based on Scotland Yard's collection of murder weapons and various ordinary objects once associated with historical true crime cases. The show's opening began:

This is Orson Welles, speaking from London.

Sound of Big Ben chimes

The Black Museum... a repository of death. Here in the grim stone structure on the Thames which houses Scotland Yard is a warehouse of homicide, where everyday objects... a woman's shoe, a tiny white box, a quilted robe... all are touched by murder.

The 15-minute continuing series Perry Mason aired weekdays October 18, 1943 – December 30, 1955, on CBS Radio. Geared more towards action than courtroom drama, it mixed mystery and soap opera, with attorney Perry Mason sometimes even exchanging gunfire with criminals.[3]

Erle Stanley Gardner's literary success with the Perry Mason novels convinced Warner Bros. to try its hand, unsuccessfully, with some motion pictures. However, the Perry Mason radio show stayed on the air for 12 years.

As The Edge of Night, it ran for another 30 years on television, but Gardner disliked the proposed daytime television version due to a lack of his own creative control.[4] He ultimately withheld his endorsement of the daytime TV show, forcing the name change.

Perry Mason

Perry Mason is the defense attorney created by Earle Stanley Gardner in his fictional crime novels. It was adapted for radio, with Gardner writing some of the first episodes, and was serialized as daily 15 minute episodes. Although Mason is a Lawyer he is as much out of the courtroom as in it often playing more the part of a detective.

BE WARNED though that some episodes of Perry Mason are no longer in existence and even after many episodes many of the stories are incomplete.

For example, in the 39 episodes 2215 - 2254 of Perry Mason the strategy of prosecutor Frederick Apt was to prove not only that Mae Grant killed Marcel Blanc but also to prove that Mae was passionately in love with the murdered man and that out of her infatuation grew the motive for murder. Of course we all know that Perry Mason will uncover the truth and prove that Mae Grant was innocent, yes of course we all know that, but we are left dangling with a cliffhanger because the concluding episodes like many other great otr shows are lost
