Robert Dryden is my favourite voice actor!! These stories are fantastic and thanx Mystery Theatre for cutting the adverts out. It's nice sometimes to have adverts but i like listening to the episodes uninterrupted!! Happy Xmas to everyone one and all from the land of the Scousers, Liverpool, England.

I remember listening to the stories with my family as a child doing a Time when there was still family... this one is the best... long before internet and cable TV and all the distractions we had this and family to listen...pay attention, pay very close attention🌈

That was supposed to say during a Time but maybe that Freudian error in dictation explains what we really are doing here...

[@emilythompson2776]

@@bettyansani7512 I’m 73 will be 74 in 6 months and just love these. As a child I used to lay in the floor and listen to all night time radio shows as we had no tv, not many did then. I discovered these about a month ago and I hardly watch tv anymore. TV is just a cesspool of sex and stupid comedies. Some of the comedies require no brain to enjoy and canned laughter. These are wonderful.

Theae episodes bring back such great memories. I remember NPR picked them up years later and I listened to them a SECOND time. Now on KZbin and I can listen to them yet again in any order ans at any time. They just get better with age. Love the atmosphere of the art work, too. So much thought and effort went into theae uploads. Thanks for the uploads. 👍👍👍

[@bluwinterdoe6731]

I really enjoy listening to Mystery Theater but I have to admit, that creaking screeching door hits on my last precious nerve;) I’m asking for anyone’s help in locating a particular story. Yesterday and pretty sure this site I had just started listening to a story about a elderly lady that had bought a turkey at a gentleman’s shop, then later on brought it back to the shop. After explaining nothing at all was wrong with it, it was a most perfect and best turkey. The lady’s heart wasn’t just broken it was shattered. Her son had called her to say that he, his wife and the children would be coming to spend the Holiday with her. Thanksgiving or Christmas I didn’t catch which one. It was intimated that it had been many years since the loving Mother had seen her son. She told the shop owner most excited how she had been busy preparing all her son’s favorite dishes, then her demeanor changed to terrible sadness as she spoke. She had just heard from her son to say they weren’t coming. It was here that I got up from the chair my phone in hand and the screen got touched somewhere and I couldn’t get that story back. I don’t know the name of it or anything. I am in hopes it’s one of yours, or one of your readers might recognize it and tell me where to find it. Thanking you in advance.

[@funniebunnie4u]

That makes twice I've played this episode, forgotten about it and months later played it again. I'm listening for the third time now and, like the other two times, I'm thinking what a good story this is. I guess the premise isn't made up, that it exists in Jewish folklore, but that's just my guess. I hope it's real folklore because it's a beautiful idea. Sam Dann creates such sympathetic characters for this one, I even feel affectionate toward Harry's cranky wife. After all, she loves him and all that fussing and scolding is just the manifestation of her love.

[@claressarichardson1374]

The timeless elite success story of destruction and the glorified obsession and worship of the power it stages. A broken record it cannot stop repeating. It’s pitch more “enhanced”, but forever clutches, so tightly its claws puncture its own hand and drips blood on the earth, to be worked by its dancing slaves. A broken record. Stuck.
