Back in the late 70s I use to lay in my room at my parents house and listen to this program every Friday night I loved it. Now my folks are gone and the house is now mine and I’m back in the same room listening again. I’m 63 years old and I truly love the nostalgia of it all.
So glad you can enjoy these stories, it really is comforting
You don’t realise how fast time has flown by
I did the same thing and now at 64 I get to listen to them again.
I'm 54 only competition was the Dodgers and Ram games when were hunting central Nevada 70-90 s radio was still only contact to outside world when were in the mountains good entertainment for young and older alike nice 👍 throwback in time Mama and Papa been gone made for good memories always...
I'm 65 and have the same story. Where did our lives go?
I listened on WHAM 1180 am out of Rochester, New York! The show came on at 10 PM - I had to turn the volume down, so as not to disturb my parents or older sister. I didn't have a transistor radio (with an earphone), so I listened on an old Zenith table radio.
To this day, I love radio drama! My father was a child of the Depression, and back then the radio was people's primary source of news and entertainment. Kudos to the people who have digitized these radio shows and preserved them for future generations to enjoy!
The past can be a very comfortable place to be, we know it is safe. I’m 72 and feel like most of the others who have written here. I’m the oldest of eight, and had to get a part-time job when I was 14, worked after school for 30 hrs/wk. I feel like I grew up in a golden age. Wish I could go back just for a few hours………it was wonderful.
My father was the oldest of eight and grew up through the depression.
Like you, he was working at a very young age to help support the family.
God bless you my friend. Have a great day and a wonderful life.
@@patrickoneill8707 Thank you so much, and very kind of you ! Though I’ve had my share of hard things in life, that is part of life. I have so many wonderful memories growing up in a large family, and it is those that help shore up any of those that fell a little short. There were times I had wished I wasn’t the oldest, but it didn’t take me long to see it was a better position!! However, there was a lot that fell on the shoulders of the “oldest” child, and I’m sure your father felt that too. However, I feel I was better prepared to make it through tougher times because I had already learned many coping skills and had become a more self-sufficient person. You and I were shown by example and guided by the love of our elders. Like most others back then, we experienced “rights of passage” that helped us understand our path to maturity, ensuring a better and richer outcome for all, and taught us how to deal with our responsibilities in life. With these skills, we were better prepared to cope with the harsher realities of life. I feel very badly for the many generations since your father’s, yours and mine that seem unable to grasp certain social and practical skills in life, and lack the ability of knowing how to live a well fulfilled and enjoyable daily life. But I really believe that a lot of that is because we no longer have “rights of passage” - they really are a missing link in the lives of everyone today. I could go on, but I won’t trouble you with that ! Thank you so much for your reply - a little thing perhaps, but you really made my day 🙏🫠
P.S. Robert Heinlein believed heavily in these rights passage - and seems to have expressed his characters knowing about them and talking about them. ☺
@@patrickoneill8707 Thank you, and the same to you ! Unfortunately, the world and how we live in it has changed so much in what seems such a short time. We don’t have “rights of passage” anymore. Earlier generations grew up with that: your father’s generation, mine, and sounds like you may have experienced it from your father, as well. It is something that gave us an understanding of how to act towards others, learning what our responsibilities in life were and how to handle them. Those of us who did have it learned through specific social engagement with others, such as boy and Girl Scouts, after school clubs, that sort of thing. Parents took an interest in their children, and wanted them to learn how to interact with others, but its importance was greater. Doing so through group activities taught us how to deal with life socially. Young boys and girls felt included, and slowly learned how to deal with everyday things in life, growing our ability to handle situations. We learned how to cope, how to put things into perspective. That doesn’t happen enough anymore. Anyway, that’s my take ! I have noticed that I am hearing more and more from people out of the blue, having read my responses somewhere, and contacting me very much like you, talking about similar things - because of my age group, I think, and that is lovely! It’s nice to know older people still can be interesting ! I am now 74, and as an example, this is how I choose to use my time. I garden hard, 4-5 hrs every day. I grow most of our vegetables, and herbs, for the two of us. I’ve planted potatoes which should give us about 100#, carrots, onions, lettuces, tomatoes I will can, herbs I will dry for the winter, garlic leeks, etc. That is all container gardening. My husband built me a “dirt box” that holds 500# of soil. Every year I use that much soil and at the end of season I remove it all from the containers and return it to the box. We have about a third of an acre our house sits on. My hyped and has back problems, so I do all the garden and yard work. I laid 40 bags of mulch so far this year, and because we have so much clay in the soil I plant in containers. But we have been here 25 years, and I have planted trees, lilac bushes, hydrangeas, etc. To do so meant digging up the clay. In one three hour weekend day I dug up 486 pounds of clay. I know because it had to be taken to a special place and they weigh it to charge you. I’m only telling you these things because I feel that if I hadn’t grown up in the period I did, I wouldn’t be enjoying my life so much now. I cook all our food from scratch, make soups for the freezer, still make our bread and desserts, and I still read my paper books. I only spend a short time on the internet, and I don’t Facebook or anything else on it. Nothing is perfect though. I’ve had cancer three times : breast, kidney and skin cancer. But I’m still here - I have a zest for life - for me there aren’t enough hours in the day! My husband is building us a library for our over 450 books, using one of our bedrooms. I have been married for 42 years to my soulmate, and am hoping I get to spend more with him. It isn’t easy, all the work, but it gives me so much enjoyment and it really pleases my husband. In my early years I worked in a hospital as a nurse. I still try to help others. That’s because of “rights of passage” - that’s how important they are! Sorry to write so much, but thank you for replying, and hope you have a wonderful rest of your life ! I just know your father is proud of you, wherever he is !! 🙏❤🫠☺
@@patrickoneill8707 ( Sorry for adding this, I just thought it might provide more clarification). Though by the age of eight, I was put more in charge of helping my two sisters and one brother by that time, with four more to come, I did realize I went from a child to a secondary mother. Nevertheless, I was happy to accept that responsibility from my parents, because the “rights of passage” I went through helped me understand my role in the social context of life skills and their importance in society. It indicated to me that my place in the family was secured, and they were proud of me. I was only too happy to help out, and I felt more at ease in the role I was cast into. Thank you again for your comment !🙏🫠 I wish you the peace we often find as we grow older, and lose our parents - especially if we lived a very lovey relationship with our parents, and I did ! Enjoy the rest of your life in a way most reflective of who you are and what you enjoy. You may surprise yourself !🙏🫠
Love these radio shows driving to and from work. No f bombs, just imagination and good writing.
Cursing or not, the effort to be unique alongside the incredible voice acting and awesome practical sound effects, it's all so good!
I hate profanity in audiobooks and dramas like this kind. It is so completely unnecessary to good literature. I won’t listen to anything that contains filthy language no matter how good.
@@mpinky777 I agree that often times it's unnecessary and I don't like it. However if someone wants realistic writing, then it's probably necessary since most people curse daily, whether it's our of anger or passion, it's common.
But... In the narration and not the characters talking, then yeah it's completely unnecessary and ruins good writing.
@@mpinky777 censorship leads to ignorance, leads to hate, leads to war and finally death.
You drove a covered wagon, no doubt. lol That's ridiculous. And stupid.
I've gotten so tired of trying to find something on TV that's worth watching... I'm thrilled to find these stories... awesome..
Michael Johnson I know what you mean! I usually just stick with UA-cam.
So true. I am captivated and I am only one minute in
TV "programming " is over, turned them off years ago.
Michael Johnson I used to listen to them when they were on the radio.
@@beckygarcia4416 I wish I had known about them in the 70s and 80s or even the sixties when I was a child! I think I could have learned quite a bit from them not to mention being entertained.
When I was in elementary school in the 70s my Dad would tune this in on the am radio it was always scary to hear the opening of the creaking door. These cool old radio programs bring back so many memories. Thank You for bringing them back
This program debuted on my 10th birthday. Like you, my dad tuned in on our transistor radio and I listened with him in my brother.
Great memories to be sure. And you are right about that creaking door!
It's amazing to hear E.G. speculate on how the 2000's would possibly be back then, when we are listening to this program while we are actually living in the 21st century.
Even they couldn't imagine the horrors that we deal with nowadays.
My Dad used to tape these
(remember cassettes?)
and send them to me while I was in the service. Great memories.
I still listen to cassets from Don Nesbitt
T/Y for serving our country when you were young.
I remember cassettes - They were the dispensers for the shiny festive streamers that used to decorate roadsides all across the land.
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service, sir.
When I was in high school in the 70s, my friends and I would drive around at night in the rain and listen to these shows and sometimes we would go into the very old cemetery and our imaginations would go wild! Thank you!
My friends and I would love those rainy nights and set in the room with a Coleman lantern(battery) and listen to spooky stories as the rain made the background! lots of fun!
Sounds like fun
Those times are not forgotten but sadly missed my freind.
We did that too !! Driving around at night in the snow snorting coke and listening to am radio
I did the same, man. Your post brought back some good ass memories!😃
Today 11-28 -2020 listening to these is much better for my husband and I to listen to,we love them . Better that TV
Yes 💙🧡💜🌺🦀🦞♦️🍂⛸🀄🌷🥀🦋💗
I don’t watch TV anymore...I’d much rather use my imagination! I LOVE going to sleep listening to books like this...it makes for GREAT dreams!
I haven't used cable, satellite or antenna TV for 8 years.
I do the same, listen as I go to sleep!😃
Quantum Bob
It costs too damned much! And the cost goes up all the time. I’ve got DVD’s of my favorite movies and I can find more things that I like on UA-cam!
Merry 🎄 Christmas!!
@@pam1574 .............. Hence the Ending Quote.............. Until Next Time.............. Pleasant............... Dreams?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Edwin Bitsoe
😊 Exactly!! Sweet dreams...
and Merry Christmas to u!!
🎄🦌
I remember the "Energy Crisis" of the 70s. People believed in the Energy Crisis as strongly as people believe in Global Warming today.
I remember being a little girl, probably age 10, in 1976, or 77 in Philadelphia, pa, and my dad putting these on the radio in my room at night when I would go to bed. I'll forever be attached to these wonderful memories. There is nothing on TV these days that compares to these great stories.
When I was in the United States Marine Corps I would listen to CBS Radio Mystery Theater on the way home for the weekend.... from Camp LeJeune North Carolina to Charleston, West Virginia, back Sep75 to Oct77
These debuted on my 10th birthday January 6th 1974.
So I am roughly the same age as you. And you are right, what amazing memories.
@@patrickoneill8707 I made my post on this three years ago and at the time, my dad was sick and getting worse rapidly. One of last great tributes to him was putting these stories on at night wirh my tablet and bluetooth so he could sleep listening to them. Sadly, my dad passed this past December 26, 2023. His 85 th birthday is this Monday, August 5, 2024. Im tearing up typing this. I will forever be grateful for him. (Yes we are probably the same age - Im a 1966r but will be 35 again in December).🤫
The best part of these audio programs you can enjoy with your eyes closed. In fact it is more vivid with your eyes closed.
I'm 60 when I was 12 I stayed at the camp listened to these with my farther he is gone now, I'll go soon enough but love these memories!!!
What a wonderful time when a family would listen to radio stories back when the world made sense.
I still love The Waltons and Mayberry RFD all those good old shows. Also found in Chicago Pacific Garden mission. They play Unshackled true life stories. I think you would enjoy it
also Chuck Missler transhumanism and Dr. Gene Kim what's going on in the world
he quoted from the King James Bible. Dr. Gene Kim talks about Genesis and Giants on the Earth and what's in the center of the Earth. Only this is all true.
producers of this got a message across and every single program. There's always a part of the truth that they tell. Somebody knew something about what was actually going on with the world. It might have been the first conspiracy theory people. You know certain things you can't just say. Like the Beatles had a message through their music. The producer of this episode has been dead but a lot of what he is saying is going on. Why is that?
There's a video out called the deeps. Very interesting kind of scary
'Back when the world made sense.' You mean back when the world was in a nuclear standoff?
These gems help me fall asleep today just like they did in the late 70s and early 80s.
Anyone who misses these great stories is missing history at its best.
Back 1976/77 when I would drive from southern Michigan to the upper penninsula about every other weekend for almost a year an a half I would listen to this. It sure ate up the miles. Too bad CBS still doesn't do this.
CBS may very well re-introduce this program. Of course today it would be strictly to extol the benefits of transexualism for children.
I’m wow
Eleven as of yesterday! And I have been subscribed to ChillySunshine for years! I love EVERYTHING about the 70s and watch nothing but MeTV. The music was wonderful, the people were happy, and life was just great! Sometimes I just get ecstatic listening to E.G Marshal’s stories. Thank you for blessing us, ChillySunshine!
I was 13 when this first aired. My parents loved going for rides in the car. We used to listen to shows like this on the radio. I sure miss those rides.
I was 10 to 18 in the 8 years this series aired on radio. It was great from 1974 to 1982 and is still great now. Thanks so much!
That is sad.
Grew up listening to these. What a blast from the past!Thank you for posting them. Fond memories of my childhood and my parents, whom I miss dearly.
I remember being a kid in the 70s Hiding a little Radio under my pillow listing to Mystery. Im so happy i can listen to them now thank u so much for sharing with all of us.
Man, I miss the 20th century so much.
Great channel. Thank you.
We never could have imagined the weirdness that would be the 21st!
Used to sneak my transistor radio in bed as kid an listened to these every week night. Intro and closing used to freak me the flip out. Ah good times
Morgan Walker
Ikr??? 😆
I love the old radio commercials they play during intermission. Brings back memories.
Me too!! For many years!!
Yea,..I took my little round red and white "satellite" crystal radio to bed and listen to these stories.
Me too! Exactly the same!
Takes me back to a time when both tv and radio were both good. I cut my cable about 3 years ago and honestly don't miss it.
The music used for this program was stock music that was often used in television shows from the CBS network . I remember the first time I heard some of it on Perry Mason. I listened to this show 4 - 5 nights a week if I remember correctly..... a big part of my childhood..... great memories 😌
Back in high school in the 70s I made an AM radio from a radio shack kit. Had it on a stand next to my bed and would lay in bed listening to this show before I went to sleep. It was on from 10 to 11. My father began collecting old radio shows in the 70s and he recorded every one of these. Now I listen to this and all the old radio shows from the 40s and 50s whenever I am driving or working in my shop. I have turned into my father which is not a bad thing. Lots of great memories.
Cold, dark nights...time to pull the bedclothes over you with ghost stories and fantasy! Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT AND a radio fantasy comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/Hex2ltykNTM/v-deo.html--Claud. If you don’t want to click the link just search “Claude Chabot presents” on UA-cam.
That is an awesome memory. I love that you said you turned into your dad and that's not a bad thing
My dad got us in a science mail order club and we received a different project every month. One time it was a radio project. I had to make a radio just like you did.
These debuted on my 10th birthday January 6th 1974 and I listened to them all the way through the run when they finished on December 31, 982
I grew up listening to these shows. Now I appreciate the production value.
Holy crap... I've been trying to find this forever! My brother and I used to listen to this back in the 70s but I could not remember the name of the program. Once I heard that theme I recognized it immediately!!!
so Glad 4 you this is a Treasure
Wow used to listen to these every Sunday evening on local CBS radio station.
I would listen to CBS Radio Mystery Theater on the way home from Camp LeJeune NC to Charleston, WEST Virginia; for the weekend, way back in Sep75 to Oct77. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant
I’m 60 yrs now. Used to listen to this using a pillow speaker because it aired after hours!! 👁
Carlos Magana I haven’t thought about pillow speakers in years.
Ahh yes, 1960, it was a very good year. Happy belated birthday Carlos.
@@danthomas6587 you are very kind. Now 61 yrs young. These were so eerie and awesome. Took me to another place. You?
@@madmextupapa those radio broadcasts were incredibly descriptive. Radio had a hay day long before TV but sadly "video killed the radio star" as the song goes. They helped me pass long night hours creating images for my advertising classes in art school. Things were created by hand back then. Not so much today. Personally I think craftsmanship was better back in the day. Today its all about instant gratification. I'm glad I was born in 1960. Kids today have too many choices . Its mind boggling. Love from Arizona.
I used to listen to this on the radio when I was 12-15 im 52 now and still enjoy the stories! Thank you!!
Just came across this.
Love it. I’d stay up way past my bedtime to listen to these at my grandmas house. Like so many others, I too had a little pocket radio. Just a simple 5transistor am Realistic. But that’s all I needed. In St.Louis, it was KMOX, 1120.
Listened for years.
Thanks for posting this.
📻👍🙂‼️
Thank you for posting these. When I was a little girl my grandmother and I used to listen to these when I stayed with her. She would put a little transistor am radio under her pillow and we would go to sleep listening to these stories. Thank you for a wonderful piece of comfort from my childhood!
+Ruth Erbach You're Most Welcome!
I did the same thing in Boarding school. My Dad (Who is now 83 (2018) used to buy Cassetes Tapes with shoes on them at one time he had hundreds of them, I found Digital copies of them all over the workld and now have about 7000 hours of shows. at one time there was a server at nasa that hosted all of the CBSRMT Shows. and everyoine started to get all the shows/ it is sad that there are no 100% good copy's opf all the old shows. (I have all the shows on 10 DVD's (Mp4) that i bought many years ago.
I do this now!! Same idea different technology,
R.I.P. Ruth Erbach :(
Sounds like a wonderful memory, Ruth.
Back in the early 80's when my husband and I were on vacation in utah we would bed down in the van and listen to Mystery Theater. Fun times, fun times. No really they were.
When I was 9 or 10, (1974), I was up late because my dad took me to a St. Louis Blues hockey game and in his car, he kept the radio tuned to KMOX, and this came on (around 11 pm) and I asked him what it was and he said, "Oh, they've started doing this. They're trying to show people what radio was like before television. It's kind of silly." But I was fascinated! After bedtime, I'd turn it on in my room on low volume and I listened faithfully for about 3 or 4 years. I remember often hearing the familiar voice of Fred Gwynne of TV's The Munsters. Mercedes McCainbridge was a very frequent guest voice. A few future stars, like Mandy Patinkin did them. This was the only scripted, acted Radio show in America after the 1950s and hardly anyone listened to it.
Great memory. I was 10 years old when they debuted and I listened for the entire run for 8 years with my father and brother.
No there was a radio series in the 1960s that's pretty enjoyable.. I forget the name at this particular moment
Autoplay on. Charger in phone. Last joint smouldering in the ashtray, dog snuggled up behind my knees and the rain outside pattering down. perfect. Goodnight.
Don't get no better
@Veni Vidi Vici nasty
Sounds like a great night
Oh my God! Well, my wonderful dog is in the chair next to me. He's too big for my lap
Sounds great' enjoy...
I'm 10 years old listening to the radio with my Dad again! Thank you!
This is when you had to use your mind for thinking about things and not your fingers 👍
I love hearing these great radio shows when I'm on the road. I drive a big truck n drive long hours. Hearing these shows makes time go by better
When I was stationed at Camp LeJeune North Carolina I would listen to these great radio shows on the way home for the weekend to Charleston, West Virginia.That was back in Sep75 to Oct77. I usually picked up WCHS radio station around Bluefield, West Virginia when I would get on the West Virginia Turnpike.
I used to listen to these in the 70's when I was in high school. Reminds me of my parent's old house. Great memories. Thank you.
What's with the down votes...if you didn't grow up listening to these as a kid just move on. Remember going to bed listening on my little radio in my bookcase headboard as a kid...good times
Why don't we have these types of programs any more? this sparks the imagination.
Vincent Von Black ... I know! in the quest to make things better we left behind some real treasures!🙁
Himan Brown tryed to bring them back in 1999 and really did not have any luck. look him up on the web he was a very intresting man and the shows that he did.
Listening to radio requires imagination and an ability to connect to a story line. Video/TV does not.
That is why TV won out and radio has devolved into what it is.
David E Thompson try bbc radio, they have them
BBC Radio Four broadcasts radio plays every day and these can be listened to online. A lot of them are not much good in my opinion, and heavily influenced by PC culture, but there are still occasional gems to be found.
This used to air at 11:00 p.m. in my city. I listened on a clock radio every weeknight. The music and E.G. Marshall's voice bring back such good memories.
I don't know of any US radio that does this type of thing anymore. I remember I used to lay in bed and fall asleep listening to the CBS radio mystery theater. There were some really fantastic stories. I don't know why they don't do these types of shows anymore....probably the cost. But......
Get the BBC app for your phone and then tune into BBC 4 extra. It features 24/7 of radio dramas.....history, SciFi, mystery, thrillers, horror, audio books, etc. The broadcasts are from 1950's upto present day
I remember when I had just come home for my first leave from the Corp I was trying to find something on TV and started listening 🎧 to something like this. Thank You So Very Much For Bringing This Back
whoever you are, ChillySunshine, thank you for uploading these little gems, greetings from Bruges!
I'm so glad that I found this. I used to listen as a kid in the 70's before sleeping. I loved these! Brings back some great memories.
I used to get in trouble in the 70's for sneaking a radio to bed and listening to this show under the covers. Cool to listen to E.G. Marshall and these chilling radio plays once again!
I did the same exact thing 😅!
I LOVE ALL of these Stories. I grew up listening to radio.. and the scarry "Squeeking Door" later, I found the ones you are playing.. Now, later on in my life, I find them again.. Always so peaceful to listen to .
Old radio programs are excellent.
I also used to listen to these in bed at night when a kid in the 70s. Glad I thought to look this up. Thank you.
I bought a 1934 Packard-Bell radio when I was a kid in 1974 from our lovely old neighbor lady for 3 bucks and used to listen to this radio show at night and pretend I was a kid in the 30's!
Heyy thanks! God bless you Martha Broyles!
But these were not broadcast in the 1930s .
I was stationed in Frankfurt Germany in the middle 70's and we didn't have tv but we had radio shows and I listened to them while cleaning my room and getting my uniforms ready for the week. It was great.
Just the right thing during a Quarantine- 2020.
Keep sharing to FB. We need to spread something fun during these times.
@@Mina-ok5qm This reminded me of a long gone era. I mentioned listening to this on our families council stereo as I followed your suggestion to post on facebook. It was bigger than a loveseat and that was a big chunk of real estate in a home back then. Today? The same amount of stereo would fit on a coaster and some sandwich sized speakers.
They also have old-time radio shows of all sorts. I'm Gunsmoke to Unshackled
@@Damaged262 My parents had a stereo like that too - a huge elegant claw-footed piece of wooden furniture about 6 ft long. Weighed about as much as a Volkswagen.
What happened?
Boy this brings back good memories listening to this every night before going to sleep.
I remember listening to these driving home from my part time job while in college. That ‘creaking door’ gets me every time!
I'm so happy I've found these. Houston 740am played these at 9pm. My father used to make me turn the lights off at 9 but I'd always sneak my radio under my cover hoping not to get caught. Those were great times and the golden years of America. I'm glad I grew up back then instead of now.
I did the same thing!
@@johnbrown1960 :) I think we were happier as kids in those days. Technology is wonderful and useful but it comes with some cost. Kids today are so stressed out keeping up with the Joneses.
Many a lonely night I listened to each one of these stories while on guard duty. For at least one hour every night I was not bored to death. Never missed the broadcast. Was devastated when my radio station stopped broadcasting them.
My mom and I road tripped from CT to the NJ shore most weekends. Loved listening to this show on each trip. Mom died 17 years ago, missing her :-)
What a throwback to my teens. My sister and I would lay in our beds listening to our radios in our rooms and would talk about the episodes the next day, especially the creepy ones.
Sometimes they'd use already established television programs for these episodes. I swear I heard a Twilight Zone episode being done here. It was the one where the old bed ridden lady kept getting strange phone calls at night, hearing "moaning and help me" only to find out in the end that it presumably the fault of a downed telephone line that had coincidentally been at the outskirts of town, coming from the cemetery where her deceased husband was buried..... Excellent program, left a lasting memory in my mind. E.G. Marshall was excellent.
I now listen to these after all these years...ahh the 70's freakin rocked! Now I listen to these when I go to bed..lol pretty kool...
These stories put me to sleep every night!
Same here..everything you said.
and the funny thing is my dads got me inot his in the laste 70's before CBSRMT there was X minus one and Dimensiuon X alot of old shows were produced and direct by the same person that did CBSRMT. does anyone know that name?

Funny how E.G. mentions life in the 21st century in his opening. Saying how some will see it and "the rest of us" can only speculate about how different it will be. It's hard now to imagine life without all our toys and gadgets, and how much HAS changed since these shows aired.
E G Marshall died in 1998...almost made it to the 21st Century...
taclas1 and he lived through quite a century. i was only around for the second half. there’s a lot to be missed, but much to enjoy now. it’s weird to live with a mind in two such different places. does that always happen to older people? mmm? :) ☃️
And musing interestingly, I've lived in the 20th and living in 21st...so I've seen two centuries. And I've lived in two millennia???!!!
Listen to the song the year 2525 on UA-cam. Yikes!
Nothing to enjoy now? There are literally millions of things to go out and enjoy in the world.
Back in the 1970's, I used to listen to Mysrery Theater on a.m. radio...I miss those days...
I.m from the UK..enjoying listening to these now
.2017!
A friend of my parents used to loan us old timey radio mysteries when we'd go camping. We'd lay down at night in our camper trailer under the stars with a canopy of beautiful trees , the sound of the lake lapping the shoreline... It's such a great memory that I can relive again through these radio shows, thank you!
"We drove ourselves from the garden when it was always possible to return, up until now. Now it looks as though we may have planted seeds in the dead soil of a lost world. A world that may have to go on, if it goes on, without us." Incredibly prophetic words.
Dear Lord - you picked up the central part & it is truly so sad - there are still some of us who care 🌹
Not really.
Incredibly wrong
Captivating radio in the early 1970s. It was so much fun to listen to. Who needed tv when you had these most vivid stories by word. An art never better: radio !
Even as a young girl in the sixties I could not fathom living in the year 2000 but especially not 2020!
Right?? It’s weird!😁
Just imagine! NO ONE would have predicted the S--t hitting the fan in the way it has. This is just the tip of the ice berg!
EG Marshall and these shows were awesome. A way life gone by still in the 70s making thrills and chills. Loved the ones with Fred Gwynne.
This would come on at precisely 8:06 pm, and God help anyone who interfered with the radio or being all set in place when E.G. Marshall came on. Not one peep! If we were in the car when it happened to come on, everyone had to shut up and not talk over it (fortunately most everyone agreed), then once we got home, I’d wait for a commercial break to run into the house to catch the rest of it. Couldn’t miss a single second of it. RMT was a serious deal. Thanks for the upload:)
Listening to these plays in the 70's was a guilty pleasure a 10yr old staying up past midnight could ask for. Thanks for bringing back those memories
Oh wow! I loved these shows when I was growing up. Had forgotten about them until I stumbled upon this!
Cold, dark nights...time to pull the bedclothes over you with ghost stories and fantasy! Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT AND a radio fantasy comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/Hex2ltykNTM/v-deo.html--Claud. If you don’t want to click the link just search “Claude Chabot presents” on UA-cam.
There was a time when I was down and nearly out. CBS RMT broadcasts were my only source of entertainment. I always loved dramatic radio before, during, and after those trying times. Still my favorite form of entertainment.
"We'll have to guess what the world will be like in the 2000's" it's like being a time traveler listening to these great radio plays
Use to love this program on the radio in the early 80's. Great stories. And E.G. Marshall, best host you could want.
This is better than any movie.
This night is December 31, 2020. This is wonderful! Thank you!
I remember listening to the CBS Radio Mystery Theater every night as a teenager, WRKO in Boston played it 6 nights per week, 10:00-11:00 pm.
This is so awesome, its like going back in time ,i love these stories at night while going to sleep
What's absolutely brilliant is all of "us" who listen to these terrific shows all have the 21st century trappings and here we all are listening to stories written 40+yrs ago, doesn't that say something about the longevity of these wonderful tales and sadly how little (sometimes) the stories of our time lack the thrill and impact of these historic and exciting stories!!! Of course there are great writers now but nothing like these thought provoking stories that never (in our opinion) grow old!! As a footnote I also listen to X minus 1, Suspense, The Whistler, Box 13, Johnny Dollar, Vincent Price-Fear and I may have missed a classic here oops Dragnet!!!! These shows if listened to by most kids of today they would dismiss them out of hand for X-box and the likes but it's not their fault as my 14 yr old daughter is sadly one of the said kids!!
Yes, indeed.
How about.....THE SHADOW! and the Scarlet Pimpernel, and of course, Inner Sanctum, Ripley's Believe It or Not! Suspense, Escape, The Mysterious Traveler. But the number one all-time radio drama favorite (of mine) because by big brother set me up big time....Mercury Theater - War of the Worlds! 3o years after that broadcast, it still scared the crap out of me.
You just have to get on with the proper classic movies...like The Horn Blows at Midnight ;-)
@@davidk4940 hi thanx for ur reply sorry I'm 3 months late but I only listened to the original broadcast of wotw with Orson Welles and ur right it's such a fantastic story but how Orson presented it as tho it were really happening is truly historic and just think how people reacted to it shit they must have thought it was the end of the world!!!

“Hysteria among radio listeners throughout the nation and actual panicky evacuations from sections of the New York metropolitan area resulted from a too-realistic radio broadcast last night describing a fictitious and devastating visitation of strange men from Mars,” the Associated Press reported. “Excited and weeping persons across all of the country swamped newspaper and police switchboards with the question: ‘It is true?’”

Such great memories of people, places, and times gone by listening to this! Thank you for sharing!
I love old time radio theatre / shows .
They are captivating without moving pictures . Must have been great to come home , flip the radio on and listen to your fav shows 👍
Used to listen to these laying across the backseat in Mom and Dad's car on the way back home from visiting relatives. We went often and it was a long drive, so I've heard lots of these... but so long ago that they all are new again. Thanks ChillySunshine and.... pleasant....dreams?
I remember a Am station would play these in our city in the 70's . Last of the times .
They playthese still on 105.9 in chicago. One night i got high in my car n this got my attention lol
I use to listen on the radio as a kid growing up in Houston. My uncles introduced my brother and I to the show. We would listen to the show during the summer months at our grandparents house. At home, we would have the radio on in our bedrooms; my room, my brother's room and my parent's room. The sound of the creaking door would resonate through in a dark settled home. It set the mood. Great memories.
Rest in peace Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa.
There was also a short-lived radio series of Twilight Zone Radio Dramas ( c.2002) which was hosted by Stacy Keach, Jr.
His & James father, Stacy, Sr. was one of the director's on Tales of the Texas Rangers.
@@terrymccoy8950 I have heard "Tales Of The Texas Rangers," starring Joel McCray om YESTERDAY USA on my computer, also "The Six Shooter," starring Jimmy Steward, The Alice Faye & Phil Harris show & many others.
10pm on 1180 WHAM in Rochester NY! I would listen religiously.
I listened to this with my dad on KMOX St Louis in the 1970s. Thanks for posting.
Finding Radio Dramas from early Welles’ Mercury Theatre to BBC dramas of today have to be in the top 5 things that have enriched my life for the best.
I was a teenager when these were on the air. I used to listen to them every night when I went to bed (unless a Tigers game was on instead) It was extra fun because I'd listen with one of my home made radios. Those were good times!
Nice cover art. The sky is marvelous.
I've only heard of the radio culture decades ago, I didn't grow up with this. But, today's entertainment is garbage, and these trump any effort put forth nowadays... thank you. 🇺🇸😎
my granny said a lot of old or people who lived alone would listen to the radio (back in the 30s and 40s) to not feel alone.
and we never thought someday it would be us lol
Now we all have smartphones.......
I listened to this program each night after going to bed as a kid back in the 1970’s. Thanks for posting.
Oh my, I loved this when I was in high school. I would turn off the lights, get into bed and turn on the radio.
This brings me back! Love the intro! I used to listen to these stories every night! Wonder why I never had nightmares? Lol
Me and my old crippled dad would go every night to pick up my mom at 11pm from her work at a nursing home. We loved listening to these stories and Paul Harvey's,,The rest of the story,, I was so young but we loved it, and i think i was the only 8 to 9 yr old to like elevator music. I still love em all today even though I'm the grand parent now. RIP daddy.
I use to listen to the CBS radio mystery 40 years ago
These old radio broadcasts remind me that the good old days are gone. The more advanced technology gets, the worse our society and culture seems to be.
I say the same thing at least once a week it seems, usually when I am watching the news.
Anomaly worse than the hitler days? Or the medieval days and so on
Seek Truth capitalism eh!!!!
We're living in the most affluent and peaceful time in history, people are more tolerant of each other than any point in history, medicine is better than it's ever been meaning people are living longer, healthier lives if they chose. We have all the old entertainment still, it all still exists such as this radio play. But on top of that we have decades more music, movies, books etc to enjoy. If you're unhappy now then I doubt you'd be any happier in any other time period.
@@darkwoods1954 We miss times when we were young and had all life ahead of us. I agree with what you are saying, but I understand Anomaly. I think when we are younger, we are more present and we can appreciate our life more. When we get older more and more things occupy our minds and we get lost in thoughts, not seeing the colors, scents of the world and what's good in it.
Anyway, as you said - we still have this broadcast and we can meet here and appreciate it. All the best!
