At my grandfathers farm where I grew up working and going to school all he had was a radio and by the way I own it. 1923 I think is the date on it and runs off a car battery lol. He would put on bbc or cbc radio at night for shows like these and would sit there with hot chocolate and be in awe of what we could hear and see. Best time ever.
"Whoa": I'm Seventy-Five, I Listened To Mystery Theatre When I Was In My Twenties. My Father Listened To CBS At Home, In The Car; We Watched CBS, NBC, ABC, KTLA, When Television Started; Great Memories!!!
3am, a chilly 16°, 11/29/23. Can't sleep, way too much on my mind. Time to shut it all off, bundle up,, got a cup of hot cocoa, tune into a good old fashion radio play,...like telling a kid a bedtime story. Thank you for these.
As a child, in the late 60's, 70's, we spent a lot of time at our cabin, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. TV channels were very limited. Dad used these CBS Radio broadcasts to entertain us kids. I'm glad to hear them again. They were meant to be like old 30's, 40's radio. And succeeded! I play it when going to sleep, and sleep so well! It's usually still playing when my alarm goes off! Thank you!
Used to love finding these on the dial while driving late at night through a low population area in the 70s, or at home on the transistor radio I had next to the bed in the 60s/70s....we had the boys bedroom and girls bedroom.....2 girls in one room and 4 boys in the other. Huge room!! In the late 60s early 70s,m would listen to the news with barry farber,,usually about Vietnam which I was too young for thank God, followed by Jean Shepherd. Knew about The Chicken Who Ate Staten Island long before I ever saw or heard of A Christmas Story. My dad used to talk about the watching the radio when he was young....The Shadow was one of his favorites. Gonna lay down and listen to this in bed, close my eyes. and take a trip back in time and enjoy the shows!! Thank you for posting this!!!
I love love love listening to these old time radio shows when I go to bed or during long drives. I don’t know how you don’t have more subscribers. Keep the videos coming 😊❤
I listened to the CBS Mystery Theater every week back in the 70's. I would put my battery operated GE Transistor radio under my pillow on the night that it would come on. I love these. Thanks!
I had a pocket 12 transistor radio. The brand escapes me but I listened to St.Louis Cardinal baseball and WLS top 40 out of Chicago back in the 60's with that transistor radio. I grew up on a farm near Kennett Missouri were Cheryl Crow is from. That was 200 miles South of St.Louis. Oh, and I am 66 years old.
I have that exact same Cathedral radio pictured above in my living room. Philco IIRC. Listened to RMT as a kid and recorded a lot of them. Great times 🙂
We were much better off when there was less technology and we had to use our brains and imagination more.And go outside for psychical activity.Youngsters these days don't know what they're missing.
I checked to see if there was going to be a premier and didn't see one listed. Then later there ended up being one. So I missed it. I didn't check again until it was going off. Sorry I missed it, but I'm catching up now. Thanks Spellbinder.
(0:00:14) “Picture on a Wall” (0:46:08) “The Last Escape” (1:31:05) “Mind Over Matthew” (2:15:32) “See Naples and Die” (3:01:12) “A Cage for Augie Karo”
At timestamp 1:10:46 Passing the key from the wife to the magician was how Harry Houdini did most of his escape tricks, so I find it difficult to accept that, in this story, the police would not already know this.
I grew up when CBSRMT was still on the air. I'm surprised that producer Hy Brown allowed stories supposedly taking place in the present sound so dated. I have never hear a touch tone phone used in any of these stories. The Rotary dial system was already obsolete when these shows were aired . Since all phones were made in plastic instead of metal by the 1970s, you don't hear the 'plastic touching plastic' as opposed to a metallic sound effect being used when the receiver is lifted lifted or being replaced. The only times I heard men referred to as 'mugs', other than 'mugshot', was in the old Gangster movies from the 1930's. Women were never referred to as 'dolls' or 'dames' in everyday conversation in the 1970's.. even among criminals.. Before anyone has a chance to call me 'too picky' OR 'complaining' ect, I'm a Broadcast historian and have around 50,000 shows in my own collection. If I hear an error repeatedly, they just jump out at me right away.
Hello spellbinder. Wanted to say sorry for tonight and how i behaved and also apologized to the listener Shorti for behaving like that. Great show. Good work
So the boyfriend who helped plan the murder just walks away? That's an odd thing as these plays are usually moralistic. It ruined the story for me, with both guilty parties escaping justice 😣
Thanks for the heads up. The ads just got turned on yesterday. I changed the settings to remove the mid-video ads and make the start and end ads skippable. 🙂🦇
@@spellbinders_of_suspense in this case- the ads don't bother me. I don't stare at the static image, it is simply the background to my work day. Good audio btw.

I used to listen to this back in my Highschool Days. Came in at 10:00 P.M. Sent me to my dreams.

I listened to CBS Radio Mystery when I was a small child in the 1970's. Where did all the time go?
Back in 1978 my then girlfriend son turn me on to this radio show. Now in 2023 I'm a radio show addict. So many shows so little time.

I can remember going to Mississippi and listening to gospel radio at my Uncle Mac and Auntie Mary house . They had a radio like this one .

Great. I have visual problems and listen to A lot of these.
When I was a kid my friend's parents next door always played radio shows. Lipton tea time hour and Only the Shadow knows...Great memories !❤
This is so refreshing. The voice acting is on point. Thank you for sharing what seems to be a lost medium.
Hot cocoa, nappy time. Sounds good. Thanks for the storys❤
My mother and I used to listen to The Mystery Theater back in the mid 70's hosted by E.G Marshall Rip 😔🙏🏼
Me too. Good memories.
Same here... Still love them
Yup, me too
Thanks !

Hello fellow listeners! I’m tuned in on 03/22/2023 from Richmond, VIRGINIA❤
I like Richmond. I stayed there one night many years ago at The Jefferson Hotel. Love the history there! 🇨🇦
@@simpleshoes the Jefferson is really nice! If you get a chance, please come back. The city has changed so much.
@@msladyva1027 ❤️ hoping to get back one of these days!
Hiyyyo, MsLady!!!
Warmest regards to you and all from your far northerly neighbor in Massachusetts.

@@Triumph2024. great morning to you my friend!☺️I hope you guys are dry and staying cool up there. It’s been so hot and rainy lately…🥵⛈️

Ty for posting.
Thank you
Happy holidays to all.
Back to a Simpler Life. Who says "You Can't Go Home?" (in my mind, anyway). 8/2/23.❤
secretly staying awake until 11 as a kid for rmt coming out of nyc station.
Good stuff Spellbinder, thanks!
Trivia: Henry Slesar also used to write for Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine.
Love these. Thanks
Thanks
Brilliant, thank you.
Thanks spellbinder, once again. 🤠💓💗💓🤠...
We were much better off when there was less technology and we had to use our brains and imagination more.And go outside for psychical activity.Youngsters these days don't know what they're missing.
So true . Imagination is needed.❤
Sounds like your stuck in the past bud.
@@toy5965 Yeah using ones brain and psychical fitness suck.I guess you'd know.
Technology brings us these stories once again!😊
@@JoElleBoh Nothing wrong with technology it's just too many become slaves to it.
Love Leon Jenny. Did you know he was in Our Gang Comedy, "Bear Shooters?" (1930). Had that distinct voice. Death Blizzard was 1 of my favorites. ❤RIP.
Leon Janney.
Nice radio program
Yes tonight was a good set thank you
We used to "watch" the radio, the green eye, grow larger and smaller with volume changes, in the late 40's and early 50's.
props
What make and model radio was that?
Just once I want that wood radio to catch fire. 🔥
They should have done a story about a radio studio that burned decades ago and now the ghosts of bitching sponsors haunt the ruins.
🤣
I checked to see if there was going to be a premier and didn't see one listed. Then later there ended up being one. So I missed it. I didn't check again until it was going off. Sorry I missed it, but I'm catching up now. Thanks Spellbinder.

As usual, another great show...eyes shut, ears open, cuppa and bed. Mathew is slightly pathetic so luckily he's surrounded by so many witches.....

Mind Over Matter episode was a little on the rated R side🙄
We didn't invade Truk Island.
Hello spellbinder. Wanted to say sorry for tonight and how i behaved and also apologized to the listener Shorti for behaving like that. Great show. Good work
Love you Theresa! 🙂🌷✨🦇
Picture On The Wall was getting interesting but those crickets were so annoying I gave up.

Feel the same way IRL when people get away with having done awful acts. Happens a lot but doesn't mean it's right
The excessive commercial interruptions destroyed any possible enjoyment.

I do enjoy the retro ads in the broadcasts. Thank you for uploading. I’ve been enjoying the original classics of your early episodes too.
Some people like the nostalgia
Yup U got it right @dansweet6793 bedtime , nap time & anytime
