    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.
    Originally Broadcast 2/3/1944

    I really like these old commercials, and how these recordings sounded. There’s something deeply comforting about old time radio.

    This took me back to the 60's when all we had was radio in India. I was but a child then. Even so, the radio was on all the time and we listened to stories, our imaginations filling in the faces and places. I became a film maker, writer and teacher, all thanks to a great start early in life. I enjoyed this play, subscribed and looking forward to more!

    Just thought I'd point out to those who are complaining about the commercials and the music that you need to realize this wasn't free to the person who shared it. You have to pay to get the old recordings.

    Before going to work my co-worker and I would go to our back room with our coffee and play a SUSPENSE radio show. He like me would put on an old radio show before going to sleep, but his wife told him to do that in the other room. (He wouldn't wear earphones) I am old enough that I remembered; YOURS TRULY JOHNNY DOLLAR, SUSPENSE, LUX RADIO THEATER, THE LONE RANGER, THE GREAT GILDERSLEEVE, JACK BENNY, THE WHISTLER etc. Many shows lasted till 1962. The ones I remember were in the late 40's and through out the 50's. When I was 6 or 7 and at home sick I'd hear my Mom's Soap Opera's; THE ROMANCE OF HELEN TRENT, OUR GAL SUNDAY etc. ''THOSE WERE THE DAY'S MY FRIEND WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD NEVER END''

      Most in the US recall Agnes Moorehead as the mother on the TV show Bewitched... She had a great radio career as well. We have a playlist of her shows on our channel. You might check out "Sorry Wrong Number"... Orson Welles called this show with Agnes the greatest single radio play ever... She worked with Orson Welles on a number of Mercury Theatre shows as well as playing "the lovely Margo Lane" with Orson on "The Shadow" radio shows

      Ida Lupino was not an actress I knew much about until a few years ago. She is actually English, but came to America with her actress mother in the 1930's. Both had established careers as actresses in England before going to America.

    Remember “Red Rider?” I listened to that when I was about 3 or 4 when we lived in Arizona. There were so many great radio shows back then ~ “The Green Hornet,” “Inner Sanctum,” and “The Lone Ranger.”

  • @mistral4303

    The role Ida Lupino plays here I think is similar to the one she plays in the 1941 film Ladies in Retirement where she played a sinister companion/housekeeper to a retired actress.
