Radio Daze: Some “Suspense” To Add Chills To Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another episode of Radio Daze! This edition, in honor of M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller “Trap,” features a couple of early classic episodes of the wonderful old radio program known as Suspense! Starting in the early forties and running into the 1960s, Suspense featured top flight actors and top flight scripts from some of the best talents in Hollywood. Suspense was more than just a show: it was an entertainment institution that covered a variety of subjects from the supernatural to the banalities of human evil. These two episodes are classics, including one featuring Orson Welles, so enjoy and listen with the lights off! So Sayeth The Kendog!
