I am working on the logistics and will be doing some test runs of which will be posted as blogs right here. What I am looking for right now are folks who like to be part of the testing process.

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.

It is western week on Ron’s Amazing Stories. All of the tales on the show have a western theme to them including the Five Minute Mystery. Louis L’Amour is the focus of the Audible segment and we revisit a story from years ago called Stampede Mesa. Then we head to Fort Laramie to hear Captain Quince’s encounter with Yellow Horse and an officer’s ball at the fort. There is also an announcement that I think is going to be a game changer.

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.
