RAS #412 – Nightfall

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that you and your families are having a wonderful break. This is going to be a different show from normal. I needed to take some time off for a special project that I have to thank my brother Jim and his wife for. Perhaps I will tell that story to you guys one day. Not to worry we do have stories for you this week and I hope that you enjoy them!

Featured Story – Nightfall

For this special thanksgiving podcast, I wanted to play a story that is timeless. The tale takes place on a planet where conditions are very different from those here on earth. In this one, we are forced to imagine what life would be like with no night. Our story is called Nightfall and first aired on Dimension X on November 29, 1951.

RAS #409 – Solomon’s Orbit

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we travel back to 1962 during the height of the space race. The phrase one man’s junk is another’s treasure plays a huge role in our story. We have a tale of fiction from Abigail that I think is quite clever and pokes fun at our gadgets. Add in a leftover Halloween story, a short one about a static shadow and a brand new helping of, Johnny Is It True? So sit back relax and enjoy the show.

Featured Story – Solomon’s Orbit

Our featured story comes from Analog Science Fiction Magazine – November 1962. It was the height of the space race where Russia and the United States were locked in a battle for outer space dominance. However, Old Man Solomon had other notions. I quote the tagline for our story:

There will, sooner or later, be problems with “space junk,” and the right to dump in space.

The tale is called Solomon’s Orbit and was written by William Carroll.

RAS #408 – Poltergeist

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we end of the Month Of Spooky 2019. On this show, we are jammed packed with great stories. We have an original fiction tale from Heather who asks the question, “What if no one notices me?” Dave plays a game of Ding Dong Ditching, and the guy from Iowa sent in a creepy tale for Halloween. Then we head to the realm of Lights Out! for one of the golden age of radio’s scariest ever. It is titled Poltergeist. We also complete the month-long series of special five-minute mysteries. This last one has a special actor and friend who plays the part of Sherlock Holmes.

Featured Story – Poltergeist

Do you believe in Poltergeists? Our story just might change your mind. It comes from the OTR series Lights Out! and just might be the freakiest tale we have had yet during our Month Of Spooky. Arch Obler had a way of telling stories that make you want to run and hide. Not that it will do any good. This is one of the top 30 scariest stories ever of the golden age of radio. It is titled Poltergeist and first aired on December 16th, 1936.
