RAS #447 – Into The Unknown

Welcome to the unknown that is Ron’s Amazing Stories. The unknown comes from our stories. We have a strange missing person case, lost time in a Cessna aircraft, and a creepy tale from the Mojave Desert. Also, we have a brand new Johnny Is It True and a classic science fiction story that was made into a Twilight Zone episode. Please enjoy!

Featured Story – Time Enough At Last

Our featured story was written when the world was a very different place. It takes a look from the point of view of a bank teller who’s life pre-apocalypse isn’t all that great. The Story is called Time Enough At Last and was first published in IF magazine January of 1953. It was written by Lyn Venable.

A Question From Mike!

I received this email from MikeSnap1287:

Hey Ron, I have been listening to the show for a while now and have a question for you. Your stories – do people really send them in to you? I notice a pattern to them …a formula if you will. There is a voice that sounds familiar in every story you read. Do you make them up? – Mike

Well Mike, the simple answer to your question is …of course there is a pattern to them. I do read them after all. Oh, and yes people really do send their stories to me. I get them in various states and often edit them to make them easier to read. Funny, the biggest issue I come across is the “Run-On-Sentence”. You see I have to be able to breathe ..so I break those puppies up. For the record. To date I have had well over 200 stories sent in to me since 2011.

Thank you for your question Mike.

-Ron

RAS #446 – Message From The Past

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we will have a special Ghost Stories with Sylvia. Sylvia shares a story called Message From The Past that should leave you stunned and amazed. Also, we answer a question from Dorothy Griffin of Columbus, Ohio. Dorthy wants to know if either Sylvia or I watch ghost hunting shows and what we think about them. This became a “spirited” conversation (Pun intended!) As an added bonus I will tell the amazing tale of Elmer McCurdy! This is a truly odd, Not So Important Times In History. So settle in, relax, and enjoy the podcast.

RAS #445 – Into The Woods

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this week we bring the creepy, the strange, and the funny. We have something from audible by Douglas Adams. The listeners sent in some strange tales about their encounters in the woods. Then our featured story is a creepy tale from the classic old time radio series Quiet Please.

Featured Story – Tanglefoot

Our featured story for this time was just recently added to the list of episodes. I had never heard it before and am excited to share it with you. This story ..is …well it’s creepy. It is called Tanglefoot and it should have you squirming in your seats. It comes from the radio drama series Quiet Please which was known to have some of the creepiest horror tales out there. Even by today’s standards. It first aired on Mutual Broadcasting System in June of 1949.
