Can't believe I found this channel. Use to listen to these before going to sleep when I was a young child.

When I was a teen and loved scary movies my dad couldn't understand why but I cut my teeth on these shows on my dad's AM radio and he enjoyed them as well as I did.

[@susancates0213]

who could sleep afterwards!?👿 or not have nightmares sometimes which I did. Ah the sweet memories of childhood 😁

I fell asleep to these for a whole year before the only radio station in Kodiak stopp stopped playing playing it. It was the only thing the station played that was worth listening to. It played early 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. So I tried to have all my homework done and to bed by eight o'clock. To think it had been only a few years before mom let me decide when bedtime was. But I love to fall asleep listening to these. E. G. Marshall's voice was just perfect for it. I think it was the following year the religious family that owned it sold it to a more music / commercial station. At least it changed the very limited song choices they had. They kept Paul Harvey but dropped cbs mystery for some music appreciation hour of jazz. I am pretty sure there were more folk music fans over jazz. Of all of the homes that I was hired to house sit over the years, only one had jazz. Most had a mix of folk and R&B, folk and country, or rock on some version.

I'm so glad I found these! Loved them as a kid!

Remember these from when I was a child. Remember getting so scared sometimes I would be to freaked out to run to the house. As a child I use to sleep and live in a 28l foot cabin cruiser. That was about 3 city blocks parked away from the house. So happy to find such found memories.

Mr R Dryden..so good.! Great story Thank you.

[@jaimecontreras6752]

An ironic warning not to make deals with the devil. This was quite entertaining.

[@epf888]

what a great story thanks for your channel. enjoying a change from garbage tv

[@gdblackthorn4137]

I agree; I can't even watch it any longer and no longer have cable. Even most of Netflix today is garbage!

[@budahbaba7856]

This really has the feel of an Edgar Allen Poe story.

Hi from England ❤❤❤❤

[@johnjack902]

Oohhhh yeah

[@miapdx503]

Wow. This is going to sound crazy, but I was struck by a poem in Playboy magazine's 25th anniversary issue, by Shel Silverstein. I can't recall the name of it, but it was about a dice game with the devil. I thought Silverstein genius...now I wonder if he didn't just rip this off, or at least was inspired by it.🤔

[@johnjack902]

Eg where ya at

[@inkyguy]

Which actors are playing which parts? For instance, which character(s) is Robert Dryden playing and which is Gordon Gould playing? The wife is being played by Carol Teitel, who is an excellent voice actress. I've listened to her carefully in many roles and have become very impressed with her talent.

[@funniebunnie4u]

I'm late getting here... Lolzz🤭 But.... There is a terrific site, that I use, and its specifically for the cbs radio shows. Actors, writers, plot synopsis, etc.... Easy to use. No sign up hassles.... It's CBSMRT

[@funniebunnie4u]

Then dot

[@funniebunnie4u]

Then com 🙂😉💜

[@gdblackthorn4137]

Why would anyone allow someone to continue to use the same dice game after game? The idea that someone could negotiate with other peoples soul for their own greed goes beyond the pale.

[@inkyguy]

GD Blackthorn, and yet we see the behavior every day. It's clear from even a casual observation of Trump's world and White House that there are no lack of people willing to sell their souls for access to wealth and power for their own sake.

[@jerryjohnson8485]

Some i think don't even ever had a soul, or conscience, definitely no shame!
