RAS Response to COVID-19

Hello Guys,

I don’t have to tell you about what is going on in the world, we all know about, read about, and hear about it all day. I am not an expert and if you want to know the truth I really don’t want to be. I believe that it is my job to do what they tell me and hunker down. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have a way to support you. That is why when you listen to the podcast you won’t hear me talking about the virus or even try to make sense of it all. I will just keep doing my job of presenting stories to take you away from today.

This week’s podcast is titled The Ghost Story. If you remember we have had Bigfoot Week, The Dogman Story, The Chupacabra Story, and The Thunderbird Story. A few weeks ago I asked for your ghost stories for an upcoming show with Alton Chung. You came through in a big way and I have extras. This week we will use a few of those and have another edition of Ghost Stories with Sylvia. It should be a real spooky time!

So, please join me this week and tell your friends if they want and escape to join us as well. My very best to you and your family. Stay safe and healthy during these trying times.

-Ron

Request For Your Help

The support that I receive for the show has been amazing. I ask for stories, you send them. I ask for feedback, you give it. Now, I am going to ask for more! Am I crazy? I don’t think so. I have two new segments that I am looking for help with.

The New Two And Half-Minute Mystery – What I am looking for here are your short Locked Room or Detective Riddles. Reader’s Digest made their fame on these in the early years of their magazine. They are short mysteries that ask the reader to solve a crime using only the clues given. If you have any of these or want to write your own. I would love to have them.

Not So Important Times In History – This is a brand new segment that makes its debut on this week’s podcast. It will take the strange, unbelievable, and funny events in history and tell them as a story. Your job is to help me find track down these tales. I will take care of the rest.

If you want to help you can send your ideas and submissions to ronsmazingstories@gmail.com. That’s it! I want to thank you for reading my requests and for listening to Ron’s Amazing Stories.
