RAS #531 – The Golden Snake

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we are full of snakes. We have a ghost snake, a golden snake, and even our Johnny Is It True is all about snakes. We instinctively fear them, but we are not afraid of fast cars, which are a real danger. This suggests our emotions were shaped by our evolutionary environment, not the one we grew up in. So, it should come as no surprise that we have many stories about them. Please enjoy just a few!

Here are some snake facts for you: 

  • Snakes are carnivores.
  • Snakes don’t have eyelids.
  • Snakes can’t bite food so they have to swallow it whole.
  • Snakes have flexible jaws which allow them to eat prey bigger than their head!
  • Snakes are found on every continent of the world except Antarctica.
  • Snakes have internal ears but not external ones.
  • Snakes used in snake charming performances respond to movement, not sound.
  • There are around 3000 different species of snake.
The Golden Snake

Featured Story – The Golden Snake

Our featured story is about greed, want, and adventure. What we have is an exciting story of supernatural Mayan priests and a lost temple of gold in the Yucatan. A pilot finds the offer of a job in Mexico too financially attractive to turn down, but when he arrives it turns out that the rewards are far higher than he could ever have imagined and, as if things couldn’t get any better, he will be working alongside a beautiful young woman. Unfortunately, there is a downside. Everyone who has been involved with the expedition in the past seems to be dead. The story is titled The Golden Snake and it aired on the OTR series Escape on April 14, 1950.

Other Stories Include – Murder By Plane Crash, The Caves of Steel, Why Did It Have To Be Snakes, The Golden Snake, and Johnny Is It True – Snakes.

RAS #530 – The Happy Prince

On Ron’s Amazing Stories it is all about the kids, sort of. Our featured story comes from the pen of Oscar Wilde who was not known for writing children’s stories. We have the classic short story The Happy Prince and I think it’s pretty good. Also, we have a story from Rodney about Green Eyes, and we present another Our Amazing Stories about the Oxford English Dictionary. If you think that sounds a bit boring I assure you it’s not. A real Scrabble player’s dream, but I tell you you’re going to love it.

Featured Story – The Happy Prince

Our featured story is a classic from the novel The Happy Prince And Other Tales by Oscar Wilde. The first printing of this book was in May 1888. In a town full of suffering poor people, a swallow who was left behind after his flock flew off to Egypt for the winter meets the statue of the late Happy Prince. Our story is The Happy Prince and is a classic reading done by the great David Sweeney-Bear. 

Other Stories Include – The Sapphire Theft, Fractured Spirits, Two Big Green Eyes, The Happy Prince, and Our Amazing Stories: The Oxford English Dictionary.

RAS #529 – Pollack And The Porroh Man

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we really don’t have any kind of theme this time. We will review a fantasy novel on Audible, and on These Are Your Stories we have orbs and then head to Mumbai, India. Our featured story is a pretty good one from the OTR series Escape. It is a bit on the creepy side but tells the story of Pollack and his encounters with the Porroh Man. So why not press that play button and enjoy the ride. 

Featured Story – Pollock And The Porroh Man

Our featured story was originally written by H.G. Wells. It appeared in his short story collection The Plattner Story And Others published in April of 1896. It takes place in a swampy village on the lagoon river near the Turner Peninsula in Southern Sierra Leone. This is when Pollock had his first encounter with the Porroh Man. It would not be his last. The story is titled Pollock and the Porroh Man and what we will hear is an adaptation of the story from the classic OTR series Escape. It first aired on October 29, 1947.

Other Stories Include – Man In The Back Seat, Black Sand Baron, The Water Orb, Scary Figure At Night, Navy Ghost Man, and Pollock And The Porroh Man

RAS #528 – The Cave Of Night

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time we feature a science fiction biased show. We have a detective story from a distant space colony and a UAP adventure from Texas that I found riveting! Then we head back out into space with a story about a lost astronaut. We end the show with a brand new Johnny Is It True that is all about Area 51. So please press that play button and enjoy the show.

Featured Story – The Cave Of Night
Our featured story comes from the OTR series X-Minus one and is not like anything they ever did. It is a science fiction story but is also a tale of suspense and intrigue told from the point of view of a modern-day reporter. It comes with a twist I guarantee you won’t see coming. This is a lost episode that is both unique, riveting and is titled The Cave Of Night. It first aired on February 10, 1956.

Other Stories Include – Blood On My Hands, Lost Planet Homicide, Never Drive Alone On Interstate 40, The Cave Of Night, and Johnny Is True – Area 51.
