RAS #672 - Suspense Double Feature


Listen Later

This time on Ron's Amazing Stories we delve into two stories from the OTR series Suspense. The first story, titled Slow Burn, stars Dick Powell as a boxer navigating the dangerous world of the sport. The second story, The Death of Alexander Jordan, explores the chilling tale of a man consumed by the fear of being buried alive. Suspense aired from 1942 to 1962, captivating audiences with its thrilling stories and unexpected twists. Originally broadcast on CBS Radio, the show was known for its high-quality production and was often described as "radio's outstanding theater of thrills." Initially orchestrated by the esteemed director William Spier, it featured a wide array of stories, usually focusing on characters in perilous or mysterious situations, often ending with a surprising or sinister twist. One of the most famous episodes, Sorry, Wrong Number, starred Agnes Moorehead and became so popular it was made into a film. Over its two-decade run, Suspense became a staple on radio, influencing future generations of storytelling both in radio and television.
