I LOVE THIS PODCAST! I was looking for exactly this type of Old Radio mystery/horror and haven’t been disappointed. I’ve gone all the way back and began at the beginning and it’s just progressively gotten better.
This podcast is a gem! Eric, Tim, and Joshua’s live shows are a blast if you enjoy old time radio!
This is the my favourite and best podcast ever!!!!
Love the MORLS boys and the show. Great old time radio episodes and discussion from the hosts. Well worth joining their Patreon, too.
Before the new Golden Age of audio drama podcasts there were decades of old radio shows that blazed the way. The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society explores these shows, from the 1930s all the way to the 1980s. They include supernatural shows like Lights Out, Quiet Please and Vanishing Point, to crime drama like Dragnet, The Shadow and Jonny Dollar and some of the classic anthology series like Escape and Suspence.
You get these plus an entertaining discussion after.
