The King of Bones and Ashes – Magic is seeping out of the world, leaving the witches who’ve relied on it for countless centuries increasingly hopeless. While some see an inevitable end of their era, others vainly try to retain the power they covet. Young Alice Marin is using magic’s waning days to delve into the mystery of numerous disappearances in the occult circles of New Orleans. Yet, discovering the cause of the vanishings could be the only way to escape her future and that of all witches.

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this week we debut a brand new show called, Hawk Larabee. Also, the segment ‘Johnny, Is This True?’ returns, and we have a listener story from Big Jimmy Calhoun. Add to this a Five Minute Minute Mystery, a podcast news update and you have a show.

Our OTR Story – Mountain Central Railroad

This week I promised a western story and we have something completely new to Ron’s Amazing Stories. I came upon a gem of a show from the 40s called “Hawk Larabee”. At first, I thought it was a juvenile western, but the more I listened more I was convinced that it was actually aimed at adults. This western adventure is set in 1840s Texas. The series tells stories of the men and women in the colorful drama of the American West. Our tale is called Mountain Central Railroad and it first aired on July 18, 1947.

Program Note: On this podcast, I announced that the show is on the radio at 9pm Pacific Time. This was incorrect. Ron’s Amazing Stories is on every Sunday night at 8pm Pacific Time. Oops…can you say retraction?

On the twentieth episode of The Horror Express, Jason and Ron are back with UFOs and Other Stories. They will tell a few tales about them and Jason talks about the Peruvian Aliens. Special guest David Larsen, from HE #19, joins us to talk about his side of the haunted Pinocchio doll story.  Also, the conductor thinks outside the boxcar and brings us another scary OTR tale and of course we end the show with your comments and questions.  So, find your seat, turn in your ticket and enjoy this special episode.

The OTR Story – Fire In The Sky

Our story comes from a series that ran on the Mutual Broadcasting System. The Mysterious Traveler was written and directed by Robert Arthur and David Kogan. It ran from 1943 to 1952. This is the show that inspired the Horror Express. The tale we have picked is called, Fire in the Sky. It tells the story of a comet that passes a bit too close to earth.  Fire in the sky first aired August 28, 1951.

This time on Ron’s Amazing Stories we have a replay from April of 2014. We will look at World War II through news radio broadcasts. We will focus on what it was like here at home. We will use broadcasts from Bing Crosby, Jack Benny and many others who talk about everything from buying war bonds to how you can prevent the sinking of an American ship. It was a tough time for America, but they came together to stop some horrid crimes against mankind. It is my hope that what I have for you gives you a picture of what that era was like.

Our OTR Story – They Call it the Pacific

Our tale comes from the OTR series Words at War. This was is radio program that ran during the war years. Basically, it is a series of stories as told by the men and women who watched it all happen. It was produced in cooperation with the Council on Books in Wartime. Their promise was to present real tales of the battles, underground warfare, what was happening on the home front and of course the action on the seas. I have picked the episode, “They Call it the Pacific” which first aired on July 10, 1943.

The Horror Express Update

Jason and I recorded The Horror Express #20 and it will air as scheduled on March 8th. The topic will be UFO Stories and Jason tells us about the aliens of Nazca. The conductor has chosen an OTR tale called Fire In the Sky and of course we will read listeners comments and questions.
