CBS Mystery Theater ~ The Man in the Black Cap 1010

[@riverbilly64]

9 July 2024 - Listening from my front porch in beautiful Kentucky, on a peaceful summer morning. Coffee, geraniums, ghostly tale. Great start to the day!

[@MooseCall]

That sounds lovely.

Listening from a cold, damp, rainy and very overcast Widnes Cheshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 on Sunday October 6th @ 18:24 Hours GMT+1 👍

Its hard too believe I listened to these stories as a kid and they are still fun to hear.

[@dontaylor7315]

Thanks for uploading. I haven't read much Edith Wharton and this was a treat.

[@craigkleber9316]

Thank you so much for posting. I have such good memories of these. And although now retired from a career in advertising hearing these old radio ads is just wonderful.

[@rebeccaturner898]

Loves these radio mystery I used to listen to them all the time as a kid

[@carolrios9216]

The original story, Afterward, is really worth reading or listening to. This radio play is a very loose adaptation. Read the story first!

[@kayecaban5324]

My sister and I used to listen to this on Sunday nights. We would get on my parents bed (away from the younger siblings) and cut the lights out. Brings back so many wonderful memories.

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

THANKS so much for posting Mystery Theater episodes. My late dad loved listening to each episode, he said it reminded him of being a kid who grew up in the 1930s & 1940s and listening radio shows.

[@ChillySunshine]

You're very welcome.

[@gregjones9201]

And I remember being on camping trips with my folks, the radio tuned to CBS. I actually thought these were old shows at the time. Maybe I should have been terrified, but they were great to fall asleep to.

[@cynthiamartinez7089]

This one was very suspenful. I really sat and never left my seat. Great story☺👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@regu6582]

I love these. I remember listening to radio shows through the late sixties into mid eighties or thereabouts on a portable radio under my pillow. Then along came the internet.

[@Dr.Thirteen]

we used to listen to this show Sundays later in the day (around 6 or so) I remember the tell tale heart with Fred Gwynne

[@timvoigt4383]

This story has a very similar plot to a story called AFTERWARD which also is another cbsrmt play. In each story the husband of each couple own a mining business & take early retirement after selling to a buyer. Both businesses go south after selling to the buyers. Both the buyers become despondant to the point where they both commit suicide. In each story, a mysterious visitor approaches their house & each visitor seemingly vanish in2 thin air just b4 they couples go to greet them. The same mysterious visitor returns while the wife is out tending to their gardens or lawns & they request to see the husband & they tell the visitor where to find the husband after which each husbands ends up missing. Check each play out & compare. Very interesting.

[@staceyharper7827]

A good story from beginning to end.

[@lisaconnolly8387]

[@paulscountry456]

[@kevinwhite577]

[@edwinbitsoe3051]

I ♥ the shows ending.... Until Next Time..... Pleasant...... Dreams?!?!?!?!?

[@laurenstygar7996]

It is a very good story about a lonely act. Marriage strikes again.

[@artemis4478]

Thank you for the the post.. I can't but love the art . Reminds me of Mr White. Breaking Bad. I'm in a cross roads my self. Thank you. Distractions help

[@jeank.7527]

This is based on “afterward” by Edith Wharton

[@violetfemme411]

2pm in Colorado isn't noon in Maine... it's the opposite... weird mistake 🤔

[@craigkleber9316]

Violet Femme yep 4pm Maine is 2pm in Colorado.

[@artemis4478]

To share is to care. Thanks.

[@stephanielynn608]

Strange thing...there are about 10 yellow dots indicating ads, yet none of them are playing? Does KZbin put them in videos to try to dissuade people away from certain videos and channels? If not, then channel owner isn't getting their ad revenue. Which one is it I wonder?

[@benjaminallen105]

There are no KZbin ads on this channel.

[@crystalheart9]

Very fun thank you for this.

[@ChillySunshine]

You Are Very Welcome.

Binge listening during😱 pandemic😷 Sep 2020. Oakland CA

[@jeremybear573]

Bravo!

[@riverbilly64]

On another episode, someone posted “RIP ChillySunshine.” Does anyone know Chilly in real life? Has he or she passed away?

[@BarbaraStalter]

December 2024, Pennsylvania a very chilly yet sunny morning. Seasons Greetings!

New drinking game. Take a shot after everytime she says John

[@blaqkdymondinc]

John's name 11 times in 5 sentences

[@frankblack7801]

I tried it, but I always get my mucking words fuddled when I drink . . . Hup 🥃

Good, easy, calm free childhood days growing up in Chicago. Now my hometown is dubbed "Chiraq" who ever would have guessed. (Sad) Glad that I moved away.

CBSRMT Edith Wharton Story ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Wharton

[@thecandlefilms-l5g]

Where I can get this image.

[@pastormatthew4362]

This was a drama on CBS Radio airing for the first time in 1979? Methought radio drama was long gone by the mid-60s, killed by television.

[@NucleoTheNucleo]

Pastor Matthew This was the last one left or one of them . It was still a niche market filled by this ya dig

[@susancates0213]

AM radio

[@TheRealOman]

Nope, born in 73 and remember these as a young kid

[@shaneblankenship8193]

6:55 its a law now that if the realtor is asked about the house having a sad past, they have to tell the lookers if anything grizzly happened there or not, funny how the mind manifest things in to being, like having a small splinter in your thumb, you know its there, but as long as you dont bother it, it wont bother you.........

[@hudsony777]

If you like well-produced audio dramas, I recommend Claude Chabot's Theater of the Fantastic, here on YT.

[@michaelminervini1908]

OR telling the buyers that HE owns the house. Disclosure.

[@stephanielynn608]

Disclosure wasn't legally required when this was produced.

[@violetfemme411]

Isn't this a different adaptation of "Afterward", the original also done on CBSMT?

[@ChillySunshine]

Sure is, you must have great memory Violet! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterward kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGbZaqGcaJZrrKM

[@AV1611-t8l]

There's nothing new under the Sun. If you notice a lot of these episodes and old TV movies from the 50s the same titles are used today add themes in movies.

[@0therun1t21]

How did he keep his hat on in the bottom of the pond?

[@SheWhoRemembers]

Happens on day I heard it. NOV 1st. Hm.

[@MichaelMcKenna-pl9pw]

Could have been done in 27 minutes with 3 left over for sponsor

[@markbailey6051]

Midlife crisis?

[@michaelminervini1908]

Gonna go Google "Working Stiffs" to see if the show lasted. Never heard of it. commercial sounds funny.

[@gerryroedel4591]

Why do they cast actresses that sound like children?

[@audiogasmicxo]

sure cant forget the main character's name, since she REPEATS it 8578757 times 🤦🏻‍♀️ very annoying dialog
