RAS #353 – The Brook’s Robbery

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we get a nerdy question from Ora, which I have fun answering. Delia from Wisconsin tells us about a protective ghost, and we take a walk in a haunted park. Also, we read the next two chapters of Anything You Can Do by Randall Garrett, and then we end it all with Tom warning us about the dangers of bologna and mayonnaise sandwiches.

Featured Story – Chapters 17 & 18 of Anything You Can Do…

This is a classic science fiction story written by Randall Garrett and published in 1963. An alien crash lands on Earth, and for ten years terrorizes the planet. Earth’s only hope is Bart Stanton, a medically-engineered superman, designed for the sole purpose of confronting the Nipe.

In this episode, Bart deals with the death of his friend and mentor. Detective Martin who we have learned is Bart’s twin brother returns to story. Will we, at last, have some answers as to why they were separated from each other. Tune in and find out.

Program Note: If You missed any of the previous chapters you can find them here.

The News – November 2018

Spooky 2018

A Freaky Graph I should start out with just how successful the Month Of Spooky was for 2018. Based on the numbers and the comments that I received this was our most successful event to date. They were up over last years event from about 8700 per episode to about 9400. That is an 8% increase over last year! These are the internet numbers and don’t reflect those who listen on the radio. Also, we received a total of 13 stories from you guys for the month. This is an all-time record for a single month in the history of the podcast. Thank you so much for listening and supporting the show.

The Radio Show

Many of you have been asking for clarification on the changing of the podcast and what it means to the radio show. I have talked this over with Jason, who produces the radio show, and things are not going to change. We will continue to have the same content on both platforms. However, there is a caveat: The radio show is limited to 55 minutes. If a podcast runs over that limit I will have to edit the radio side to fit the time requirement. (Example: This past month the Old Time Horror episode with Jim Harold had a total running time of 1:06. I was forced to edit that down. Not to worry though I used a little editing trick and sped up parts of the program. You may have noticed that in some places the action was a bit faster. Mostly on the OTR program. Pretty tricky huh!)

Looking forward to Christmas

I am again asking for your stories. This time Jason and I are planning a Christmas spirits program and want your spooky Christmas stories. So, please if you have such a thing please get in contact with me at this link. Thank you!
