We end the show with a Johnny Is It True segment created by listener Kevin Bishop. A true collection of Rippleys Believe It Or not. So, press that play button and let’s get started.

Featured Story – The Man From Tomorrow

Our featured story comes from the OTR series Escape. An ex-pilot answers an ad for volunteers to take part in sensory deprivation experiments to create the enhanced human. Things go well, but not all is as it seems. Common sense gets buffed as well. The tale is titled The Man From Tomorrow and it first aired on August 23, 1953.

RAS #581 – How-2

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we have one about how to build your own robot and the consequences of doing so. It is titled How-2 and is quite fun. Also, on the show we have an international version of These Are Your Stories. Listener’s from the UK, Canada, and the Philippines tell us about some strange encounters with the paranormal. So if you want to hear all about it, press that play button.

Featured Story – How-2

Our featured story is a robot tale with a twist. What if robots were not only sentient, but could also reproduce at will? Would the world have to look at them differently? The idea of this came to the mind of author Clifford D. Simak long before our AI robots questions of today. The story is titled How-2 and first appeared in the pages of Galaxy Magazine in November of 1954 and then again on X-minus one when they adapted Clifford’s story to radio. A man orders a robotic dog kit in the mail, and instead receives an android—one ready to serve in every capacity and equally ready to reproduce himself a thousand-fold. All his problems vanish – until the government sticks their bean-counting nose into it. It is titled How-2 and first aired on March 3, 1956.

Other Stories Include – The Rocky Marino Case, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, The Nightclub Poltergeist, The Barefoot Ghost, The Handprints, and How-2.

Press that play button and find out.

Also, this week we will be doing a video version of the show complete with a slide presentation. You will be able to watch this on the Ron’s Amazing Stories YouTube channel. It is my hope to do more of these types of presentations in the future.

Featured Story – The Lizzie Borden Story

Lizzie Borden was born July 19, 1860 in Fall River, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Andrew Borden and was suspected of murdering her stepmother and father in August of 1892. Her arrest and trial became a national sensation in the United States.

RAS #579 – Dr Ruxton Axe Killer

On Ron’s Amazing Stories today we have three new ones from the listeners that go from Chupacabra to the West Lawn Pavilion. Then we hear a true story from the archives of Scotland Yard about murder and rage. We end the show with a brand new Not So Important Times In History which tells a story about the Detroit Police Department having a mishap that you won’t believe. So press that play button and enjoy!

Next’s Week’s Podcast – Lizzie Borden

Next week’s podcast is going to be a special extended show featuring our very own Sylvia Shults. Sylvia is going to be presenting the true crime story The Lizzie Borden Story. You won’t want to miss it. Also, if you listen to the show on our Youtube Channel you will be able to follow along with both photos and slides. This is a first for the podcast and I can’t wait for you to see and hear it.

Featured Story – Dr Ruxton Ax Murderer

To warm us up for next week’s special podcast about Lizzy Borden I thought I would head to the series The Secrets Of Scotland Yard and play the true crime episode titled Dr Ruxton, Axe Killer. A well loved doctor is arrested for chopping up his wife and 20-year-old servant into 200 pieces of carnage. It first aired in the United States sometime in 1957. I will warn you that there are some very scary bits early in the story.

Other Stories Include – Methodical To A Fault, We Are Legion – We Are Bob, The Goats Of Chupacabra, The Ghost Girl, West Lawn Pavilion, Dr Ruxton – Ax Murderer, and Not So Important Times In History – Detroit Cops

Program Note: If you want to see the police video from the Not So Important Times In History segment you can find it on YouTube at this Link
