CBS Radio Mystery Theater

CBS Radio Mystery Theater (a.k.a. Radio Mystery Theater and Mystery Theater, sometimes abbreviated as CBSRMT) was a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was carried by the NPR satellite feed.The format was similar to that of classic old time radio shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler, in that the episodes were introduced by a host (E. G. Marshall) who provided pithy wisdom and commentary throughout. Unlike the hosts of those earlier programs, Marshall is fully mortal, merely someone whose heightened insight and erudition plunge the listener into the world of the macabre (in a manner similar to that of "The Man in Black" on yet another old time radio program, Suspense).As with Himan Brown's prior Inner Sanctum Mysteries, each episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater opened and closed with the ominous sound of a creaking crypt door, accompanied by Marshall's disturbing utterance, "Come in!… Welcome. I'm E. G. Marshall." This was followed by one of Marshall's other catchphrases, usually either "The sound of suspense" or "The fear you can hear." At the conclusion, the door would swing shut, preceded by Marshall's classic sign off, "Until next time, pleasant… dreams?" Marshall hosted the program from January 1974 until February 1982, when actress Tammy Grimes took over for the series' last season, maintaining the format.CBSRMT was broadcast each weeknight, at first with a new program each night. Later in the run three or four episodes were new originals each week, and the remainder repeats. There were 1,399 original episodes. The total number of broadcasts, including reruns, was 2,969. Each episode was allotted a full hour of airtime, but after commercials and news, episodes typically ran for about 45 minutes.Listen to our radio station Old Time radio <a href="https://link.radioking.com/otradio" rel="nofollow">https://link.radioking.com/otradio</a>Listen to other Shows at My Classic Radio <a href="https://www.myclassicradio.net/" rel="nofollow">https://www.myclassicradio.net/</a>Patreon <a href="https://www.patreon.com/entertainment_radio" rel="nofollow">Entertainment Radio | Broadcasting Classic Radio Shows | Patreon</a>Remember that times have changed, and some shows might not reflect the standards of today’s politically correct society.

Jerry The Convincer

Carter Ellsworth, a seemingly law-abiding marketing professional, becomes entangled in a drug smuggling operation through the persuasive efforts of his friend Stu and a mysterious figure named Jerry. Initially hesitant, Carter is convinced to participate in a maritime drug pickup, driven by a desire for excitement and financial gain. During the operation, a police officer named Bernard J. Talon interrupts their smuggling attempt, resulting in a confrontation that ends with the officer being killed. Consumed by guilt, Carter sends the officer's widow an anonymous gift of $25,000 from his smuggling earnings. However, his involvement does not end there, as Jerry continues to pressure him into further illegal activities. Carter struggles with his conscience, alternating between wanting to confess and feeling trapped by his complicity in the officer's death. Lieutenant Paris, investigating the murder, gradually pieces together the evidence against Carter, including the unique circumstances of the crime and Carter's suspicious behavior. Eventually, the lieutenant confronts Carter, offering him a chance to cooperate and escape further criminal involvement. The episode explores themes of moral compromise, the seductive nature of criminal excitement, and how ordinary people can be drawn into illegal activities through manipulation and gradual moral erosion.

Out Of The Mist

Harry Spears, a young man from the Bronx, discovers a passion for wildflowers and the countryside through his motorcycle adventures. While studying botany, he meets a mysterious young woman named Anne Campbell near an old railroad track. Intrigued by her delicate beauty and connection to a small white house in Miller's Ridge, Harry falls deeply in love with her and becomes obsessed with finding her. After the death of his mentor Calvin Bell, Harry purchases the 'Lace House' in Miller's Ridge, hoping to reconnect with Anne. During a wedding rehearsal with Mrs. Peters, a ghostly apparition of a young Calvin Bell appears and leads Anne away. Mrs. Peters reveals a newspaper clipping that tells a tragic story: Ann Campbell died in a train derailment on September 15, 1912, while returning to marry Calvin Bell. The episode explores themes of love, loss, and the supernatural, suggesting that Anne and Calvin are reunited in the afterlife. Harry, realizing the supernatural nature of his experience, puts the house up for sale and returns to the Bronx to teach botany. The story implies that the Lace House is haunted by the loving spirits of Ann and Calvin, who were separated by tragedy but ultimately found each other again.
