These stories are priceless on nights when my old eyes are too tired for reading. Brings back fond memories of listening to the radio with my three sisters in the evening back on the farm.

[@DraGnFly007]

I listened with my sisters as well while we laid in bed. I remember a story with a train in the background. Scared me! Great memories.

[@sarahhowell8147]

My late husband and I when we were just dating would smoke a bunch of weed, drive to the cemetery and listen to Radio Mystery Theater. Bittersweet memories

[@guysmiley515]

[@kelvintorrence5994]

That's crazy I hope you 2 had lots of fun

[@LATINHANDS65]

I'm there now. Turned a bad trip into a well needed distraction that told a story. My brain is on fire!

[@lambadamarkasi]

This is so cool. Usually these old radio theatres have bad sound quality. This was one great, and the so was the story...

[@kala_gulab2697]

Oh man... I am truly addicted to these 🎭....

[@Nockalates]

Me too. I need help.

[@eddiemunster2196]

Now there's something I'm going to tell you is it God's honest truth my father was born in 1920. But just imagine if you went into an old building and in that time, You but really I was only 7 years old,. That was 1970 And your father had a brain tumor from boxing, but you bring back cancer brain doctor from 2019 with all the cures that we have now they could have saved your father. But really my father. Had a brain tumor. I was 7 years old when I was that age he died... Then nothing made a lot of sense to me and I don't know how my mom handled all of that. Now there was a story you may have watched , there was an episode on the Twilight Zone that was exactly how I explained. Where we have a individual a man 20 years old and he goes back in time and he sees his own father around the same age as he is... But the man back in the 1920s has no idea that he's talking to his own son. That baby is now beginning to grow in his wife's belly, and the man that went back in time -. He is that infant glowing right now. Now the gentleman, that the young man went back in time in and he's talking to his father, and his father has no idea yet that he's going to be a father. The wife has not even told the husband that she's pregnant . And the time traveler is that baby. Now, just imagine any time we would be able to do that ? I know it sounds crazy, and I know I sound that I am 100% over the top crazy, maybe so a little bit but just imagine ? How would I love to go back and see my father when he actually did spar with Rocky Marciano. And yes my real father did spar with Rocky Marciano in Madison Square Garden in the 1940s ,,, that really happened !! That is no old TV show that is memories of my family.....Before we were a family ! Before my dad met my mom. When my father was in his prime, ( even before that.) ( That's. When ) My dad kicked ass Imagine going back sitting in the seat in Madison Square Garden in 1940 -1945 -1947- 1949 that's my favorite era the 1940s WELL IF YOU WENT THIS FAR AND READ ALL OF MY THOUGHTS : And memories of my dad: ___________________________ I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW I APPRECIATE IT ! WHICH I DO MASSIVELY !!!!! --------------------------------------------- And how many other people think of their Mom's,Dad,'s Uncle's, Aunt's Brother's Sisters To be there to see how well they were,. ( THEN ? )I I BET YOU THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS GOOFY JUST THINK ABOUT IT ? AND,,,,, THANK YOU FOR READING everything. that I wrote,,,..that I put down!!! Thank you and have a great day....

[@amandaelizabeth7943]

I love listening to these & I'm young, born in '87. :)

[@esterherschkovich5002]

Very good☺a time slip tale!

[@craigkleber9316]

I am rediscovering these - great memories. Than you. In a few of these Tony Roberts does a great job, I never knew. I associated him with Woody Allen movies :-)

[@simonmcgrath4112]

Is it true that without the old time radio classics like, Inner Sanctum, Suspense and others that I can't recall we wudnt have this show is that right? These are so good I'm like a drug addict to ALL these shows and their ilk there just so good!!!!

[@dontaylor7315]

It's true. Himon Brown created Inner Sanctum, which was intro'd by the creaking door. Then he created CBSRMT, creaking door and all, as a fond look back at OTR's golden era.

[@melidee1479]

Poor lady, always waiting.

[@johneyon5257]

quaint formulaic love-across-time story - the freshness can be found in the details - and the acting - altho the (charming) southern accent of the girl is tiny bit baffling since it really wasn't match by the other locals the line to the poem "thank whatever gods may be" sent me to searching the web - i thought it might be from the same poet who wrote that phrase in "Invictus" - but they were different poets - the one who wrote the poem in the radio program was Swinburne - "Invictus" was by Henley

Love you EG

[@ernieh4049]

What a great channel, I'm so glad I found it. I listen to these stories at bedtime and also at work, I work nights and its perfect to help pass the time. Thank you

[@maridambrosio523]

Luv listening to these stories from Peoria az. Enjoy, everyone; especially you, Doc.:)

[@eddiemunster2196]

As he said what is the past ? The past is it memory of someone, or the memory I'm a ghost that is lonely. That's if you blame it on yours. Do you believe that I may believe in ghosts ? But the real question is do you believe in ghosts .? Well back to the story let's see if she comes back ?

[@cherylcarroll]

I didn't thumbs down the video bc this is NOT a criticism of the channel, but of this narrative story presented by CBS at the time. Is this story about time travel or reincarnation? How did Eric and Julia fall in love in just one day's time? What happened to Eric after his final meeting with Julia, especially since his ending is not presented anywhere near what's presented in his poem? If we're in 1921, why on earth would Julia let an unknown man be alone with her in the house? And finally - why do only Julia and the operator have Southern accents??? Jerry has grown up in the same town as his father Oscar... great channel, but this story does not rise to the other stories available 😐

[@SimonMcGrath-o8jk]

Sam Dann is a great story teller and Bryna Raeburn is a master of voices, i swear I'd be lost with not having these friends to listen too!! That sounds sad doesn't it??

[@jacobshrews207]

I am joyous that there's still a example of true appreciation for the original America that hasn't been spoiled by racial over-consciousness. Both this story and the movie birth of a Nation, but especially the story have far more to offer to anyone who has the eyes to see and the ears to hear.

[@donnaroberts9119]

I simply love this and all the radio shows. I just throw the tv remote over my shoulder for good luck

[@carolrios9216]

Wow. He cites Birth of A Nation as his favorite movie.

[@elizabethbrown3447]

Brilliant,,love from England.

[@nicolettetowns6154]

Love, love these tales!

[@terriquintana2827]

I remember camping outside with my cousins and listening to these on the radio,we would get to scared.im love that they are on KZbin

[@michellel564]

Lol" he just trying to find himself" Me: here's ya a mirror. Now get a job.

[@frankmcgovern5445]

This guy's favorite movie is "Birth of a Nation"? Dude. Try not to be THAT racist.

[@ladyred5150]

Frank McGovern Stupid ass.

[@keykrazy]

@@ladyred5150 I have to admit i had a similar reaction as Mr. McGovern above, Golden Girl. OK, i get that the film has a... complicated history. It is another one of those that people claim as "the birth of modern cinema" and all; it was made by a Ku Klux Klansman trying to tell an honest historical narrative as he understood it. But for any guy to mention *that* film as his favorite when first meeting a girl..? Seriously ?!? It's clear the OP was just trying to make a silly comment. What is your justification for lashing out at him as a "stupid ass"? And what would you personally consider as racist if not that film?

[@creoletable4673]

I was thinking the same thing. So the 20s were awesome because certain citizens were socially and lawfully forced to live a subpar existence to make other citizens feel superior? What in the world? Still a good story, just a lil' racist

[@tanya5322]

Frank McGovern I’m not familiar with the movie, but you do realize this radio play was broadcast in about 1974 if I remember the description correctly.

[@frankmcgovern5445]

@@tanya5322 - For sure. The Civil Rights movement was in full swing. People had known for a while that the KKK were bad people and that racism was wrong. It's not like it was 1924 or something. It's a weird favorite movie for someone to have in 1974.

Can't get enough.... Of these stories
