No Amazing Podcast This week

Hello,

This week, there won’t be an episode of Ron’s Amazing Stories. I’ll be back next week with a new show and a special old-time radio double feature that you won’t want to miss. For those of you who listen on the radio, we’ll have a special replay of Episode 400. We launched this episode in October 2019, and it had a few surprises.

I’ll see you next week!

Ron

On The Podcast This Week – 11/14/24

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this week we have one from the OTR series X-Minus One. It ran on NBC from 1955 to 1958. It truly was the greatest science fiction radio show of all time. If you think that’s Ron’s opinion, you would be right. The producers pulled ideas for the stories from the pages of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine. Our story first appeared in May of 1955 and was written by Frederik Pohl. A tiny space rock crashes into the Terra II, causing a lot of damage and hurting the ship’s navigation system. Now, the crew is floating around in the middle of nowhere, possibly millions of light-years away from anything familiar. They need to do whatever it takes to stay alive. The story is titled The Map Makers and it first aired on X-Minus One on September 26, 1956.

You can listen to this on Thursday at Ron’s Amazing Stories, download it from Apple Podcasts, stream it on Stitcher Radio or on the mobile version of Spotify. Do you prefer the radio? We are heard every Thursday at 10:00 pm and Sunday Night at 11:00 PM (EST) on AMFM247.COM. Check your local listings or find the station closest to you at this link.

No Podcast This Week – 10/31/24

Hello,

A lot of people have been contacting me asking if I was okay, and why there was no podcast. I have had a health issue that made putting the show out impossible. I am on the road to recovery and hope to get back to work next week. Thank you for all the notes of concern and questions. I believe this is the first time I have missed to post at least a replay.

Best Regards,

Ron

Month Of Spooky 2024 – Week 4

On the podcast this week we have a story from the creative mind of Arch Obler. He was the director and producer of the OTR series Light’s Out. The story is called Valse Triste. I can’t confirm this but it appears to have been inspired by Sibelius’ “Valse triste” (Sad Waltz). Originally composed for a 1903 production of the play Kuolema (Death) by Arvid Järnefelt, the waltz captures the sense of haunting memories recollected in old age.

Our story is a horror tale where two women are faced with a madman who has to make a choice, which of them will live. It is horror at its best and has the Obler twist that you won’t see coming. I really don’t know when this version aired, but the original aired on March 3, 1938.

Also on the show this week we have more of your stories, my thoughts on the article A Journey Through the Brain’s Reaction to Fear by Marcy Arnold, A review of the audiobook Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, and a special Johnny Is It True on Phobias.
