1 hr 1 min - Subway (1947)
The subway always affected Paula Stevens and she had to stand back from the edge of the platform far away from the shining tracks and the train roaring in out of the black because what she really wanted to do was throw herself under the train. The light on the shining track hypnotised her like the eyes on a snake. And that evening full of cold the last person she wanted to be pushed next to on the train was Ruth Carney from her Academy acting days.

32 min - The Thirteenth Sound (1947)
The script was subsequently produced on Suspense on April 26, 1951. An excellent tale of murder and suspense that keeps you on the edge of your chair for the duration. The plot is quite simple and pretty much standard radio show thriller format, but the acting and sub-plot keep you interested as the story unfolds. The story starts off with a wife murdering her husband. This is not a spur of the moment domestic killing, but a thoroughly well plotted, premeditated, cold-blooded killing. The wife things she has been very clever and believes she has got away with it, but her husband's death comes back to haunt her in a very peculiar way.

About Night Shift Radio Presents: SUSPENSE!
From the publisher's feed
This is a rebroadcast of the original Suspense! Radio Show. Suspense is a radio drama series broadcast on CBS Radio from 1940 through 1962. One of the premier drama programs of the Golden Age of Radio, was subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills" and focused on suspense thriller-type scripts, usually featuring leading Hollywood actors of the era. Approximately 945 episodes were broadcast during its long run, and more than 900 still exist.
Suspense went through several major phases, characterized by different hosts, sponsors, and director/producers. Formula plot devices were followed for all but a handful of episodes: the protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a threatening or bizarre situation; solutions were "withheld until the last possible second"; and evildoers were usually punished in the end.
In its early years, the program made only occasional forays into science fiction and fantasy. Notable exceptions include adaptations of Curt Siodmak's Donovan's Brain and H. P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror", but by the late 1950s, such material was regularly featured. - via Wikipedia
