RAS #606 – The Man Who Stole A Planet

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time we review the halloween audiobook, A Night In The Lonesome October. Then we will hear three new listener stories on These Are Your Stories. Our featured story is about a man and his bid to steal a whole planet! And we will end the show with the story about World War II super spy Juan Garcia. So if that sounds amazing press that play button.

Featured Story – The Man Who Stole A Planet

Our featured story for this week comes from the series Quiet Please. This is one of the more strange stories I have heard from the show. A man collects bodies in his freezer, but he is not a serial killer, or an evil man. Or is he? It is titled The Man Who Stole A Planet and it first aired on July 26, 1948.

Program Note: Our story today was in pretty sad shape. I have wanted it on the show in the past, but lacked the skill to restore it. However, I took another go at it and this is what I came up with. While far from perfect it can be followed. I highly recommend that you listen to it with headphones.

Other Stories Include – Three Scarlet Letters, A Night in the Lonesome October, The shaking, My Mother Sees Dead People, The Night Of The Bagman, The Man Who Stole A Planet, and Not So Important Times In History – Juan Garcia.

RAS #603 – Joe Phy

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we break from the normal format just a bit. I was going through the archives and found a short I did a while back. I read through it and decided that it was pretty good and that it needed to make a return. It is from A Moment In Time Series I did in January of 2019. It takes you through four stories from a four month period during the year 1944. Also, on the show today we will play a classic western from the old time radio series GunSmoke.

Featured Story – Joe Phy

Our featured story comes from the OTR series Gunsmoke. The story we will play today comes from the third season of the series. Dillion goes to find a gunman in a town in which the sheriff is not what he seems. It is titled Joe Phy and first aired on August 9, 1954.

Other Stories Include – Carnival Caper, Review – Dead Ringer, A Moment In Time – 1944, and Joe Phy

RAS #602 – Jaywalker

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we get back to the good stuff with all new content. We are going to review a brand new audiobook from the Star Trek Series: Strange New Worlds. Next up we have two listener stories from you, for you. Both follow the theme of unexplainable voices. Our featured story comes from the OTR series X-Minus One. It is a tale titled Jaywalker but it should have been titled, Things Not To Do With A Spaceship.

I want to again thank everyone that sent me notes of encouragement and prayers for my mom. The surgery went well and she is rehab to start the recovery. I have told her about your support and it has meant a lot to her that you care. My sincere thanks to all of you. – Ron

Featured Story – Jaywalker

Our featured story is simply called, Jaywalker. We all know that a jaywalker is someone who walks across a street at a place where it is not allowed or without taking care to avoid the traffic. How does this relate to our story today? It takes jaywalking to a whole new level. What if space travel had a problem with jaywalkers? And what form would that take? The story first appeared in Galaxy Science Fiction, the December issue, 1950. The tag for this one was, CAUTION HAVE YOU PASSED YOUR PHYSICAL EXAMINATION? Avoiding It May Cost Your Life! What we will hear is from the OTR series X-Minus One and it uses the same title. It first aired on NBC on April 17, 1956.

Other Stories Include – Chicago To Denver, The High Country, The Ordeal At K’s House, But My Aunt’s Not Home, and Jaywalker
