Old Timey Radio shows were the podcasts of the past...so odds are if you're reading this description you are HERE FOR IT---and by "IT" we mean TWO Radio Plays written by the Queen of Radio herself, Lucille Fletcher.  These two episodes were originally featured on CBS's  "outstanding theater of thrills" radio program called Suspense in the 1940's and are pretty incredible time capsules.  Sorry Wrong Number is considered to be the best radio play script of all time and features the superb Agnes Moorehead, while The Hitchhiker story line (starring the great Orson Welles) became so popular that it was remade in several different mediums, most notably on television in The Twilight Zone.  Sara Greenfield and her guest Nick Lang chat about all this and more on this week's episode of Talk Classic To Me.
