RAS #465 – Western Tales

On Ron’s Amazing Stories it is Western Week and all our stories have that old west feel Including the Five Minute Mystery. Listener Gary Richards asked me to revisit a story from years ago called Stampede Mesa and then we head to Fort Laramie to hear Captain Quince’s encounter with Yellow Horse at an officer’s ball.

Featured Story – The Stagecoach

Our featured story comes from the classic OTR series Fort Laramie. Captain Quince is faced with a troubling problem. Yellow Horse is being held in the stock house for murder and his followers want to break him out. At the same time, the women of Fort Laramie are holding an Officer’s Ball that Quince is ordered to attend. Our tale is called The Stagecoach and it first aired on April 14, 1956.

RAS #464 – With Folded Hands

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we have an eclectic collection of stories. We will begin with a tale that has its origins in Arizona, but was told to me in person in a park right here in Vancouver, Washington. Then we have a brand new Johnny Is This True that returns to its roots in the strange and unusual. To end the show we have a classic science fiction tale titled With Folded Hands. I think you are going to enjoy it.

Featured Story – With Folded Hands

Our featured story this week comes from the OTR series Dimension X. Underhill, a seller of Mechanicals is startled to find a new competitor’s store on his way home. His robots are unthinking and are designed to perform menial tasks. These sleek black robots who appear more advanced than anything Underhill has encountered before are simply amazing. They describe themselves as Humanoids. But is there something sinister about them? Listen and find out.

The Podcast This Week – 11/5/20

Our featured story this week is a science fiction classic titled With Folded Hands by Jack Williamson. It first appeared in the July 1947 issue of Astounding Science Fiction. Williamson’s influence for this story was the aftermath of World War II and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. His concern was that our technological creations, that we had developed with the best intentions, just might have disastrous consequences. The story was adapted to the radio by John Donkle and it first aired on the OTR series Dimension X on April 15, 1950.

Also, we have a special listener story from Silas and Katheren Greenley who now live in Vancouver, Washington. They will share their incredible UFO encounter that occurred near the Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.

RAS #463 – The Hallowed-Wheel Show

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this week we end the Month Of Spooky 2020 with a special Ghost Stories With Sylvia. Sylvia Shults is back and I think you are going to enjoy the result. If you are a fan of the Pitch Perfect movies then you will know what a Riff-Off is. Basically groups of singers spin a wheel to determine a topic and then they sing it. Sylvia and I will do much the same thing but using stories of the paranormal.

Program Note: Sylvia Shults is a Librarian, Author, and Ghost Hunter. She has spent a lifetime in the pursuit of the weird and strange. Her non-fiction works include Ghost of the Illinois River, Fractured Spirits, 44 Years in Darkness, Hunting Demons, The Spirits of Christmas, and her latest release Fractured Souls. All of her books are available on Amazon and you can find out more at her WordPress Home Page.
