This time on Ron’s Amazing Stories, we take a minute to appreciate TuneIn Radio. They have played a part in history of the show since 2013. I have named this podcast, The Titan of Kansas. It comes from a listener’s story sent in to the show, and it is good one. Also, on this podcast debut a new OTR series called World Adventurers Club.

Our OTR Stories – The World Adventures Club

We have a brand new series to debut on Ron’s Amazing Stories. It is called the World Adventurer’s Club. The setting for the series is a well-to-do gentleman’s club of the type that flourished in the 1890’s. We will actually play two episodes of the show. The first is is episode #7, and is called The land of death. Our second story is episode #13, and is called The Elephant’s Graveyard. I hope you enjoy them both.

Please Note:  You may experience some problems with the main website this week (www.ronsamazingstories.com). I am in the process of leaving my current wordpress provider.  This will not affect the podcast distribution in any way.

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this week we have a Kaleidoscope of tales to present. Tom Williams who is a listener from Berlin, Germany presents two tales from his past. Also, our OTR story just might be one of the best ever on the program. Then we have a thrill story about mail delivery on the moon and of course we will top it off with another Five Minute Mystery.Our OTR Tale – Kaleidoscope

When I first heard our story for today I was transfixed. Held in the moment… thinking what would I do? You can’t help but do that as you listen to this story. It comes from the series Suspense and tells a story about six surviving crew members of a destroyed space ship. The story is an adaption of the famous short-story written by Ray Bradbury. It is called Kaleidoscope and first hit the radio waves on July 12, 1955.

Ron’s Amazing Stories we have an incredible ghost story today from Shamir in Nevada. I have named it, The Ghost of Berlin, NV. It is sure to curl your toes!  Also, we head out west with Matt Dillon for a story about a man who invents a device that converts dimes to dollars! So, buckle up and hang on this is going to be a good one.

Berlin, Nevada is a real place with a real history. The town was established in 1897 as part of the Union Mining District after the opening of the Berlin Mine the previous year. The town never prospered to the same extent as other boom towns, declined following the Panic of 1907, and was largely abandoned by 1911. The site was acquired by the state of Nevada as part of Berlin–Ichthyosaur State Park in 1970.

Our OTR Story – The Fabulous Silver Extender

This week’s OTR tale is dedicated to my brother. It comes from the best western of the golden age of radio, Gunsmoke. It takes us into the world of the flimflam artist and two unsuspecting cowboys. The tale is called the The Fabulous Silver Extender and it first aired June 05,1960.

Welcome to the 15th episode of the Horror Express. In this program Jason and I talk about the truth surrounding Haunted Dolls. Also, we have what I believe to be the scariest story to date. It is a creepy old time radio story that finds three young women facing a poltergeist. If that was not enough we have lots of questions and comments from you guys! So please join us for this train ride into the unknown.

Topic – Haunted Dolls

A haunted doll is a handmade or manufactured doll or stuffed animal that is reported to be cursed or possessed in some way. The earliest report of a haunted doll goes back to Ancient Egypt. The enemies of Ramses III attempted to use wax images of his likeness to bring about his death. The dolls used in this ritual were said to be living and would curse anyone who bore their resemblance.

New Website for the Horror Express

I am changing somethings around in the Ron’s Amazing Stories universe. The Horror Express Podcast is doing so well that I have decided to break it out as its own show. To begin this transition I have created a new website. The Horror Express website is http://horrorexpresspodcast.wordpress.com.  This is the temporary domain name, but will always get you there even after we have a permanent one.  Check it out, but remember it is still a work in progress.

On this Ron’s Amazing Stories, we have the Kevin MacLeod Interview! He is a composer, producer, and has been the primary music provider to the show since 2011. He has a talent for creating musical scores that fits every situation. Be it Classic Rock or Bavarian Classical, Kevin has a title that fits the mood. The quality shines through on all of his works and you feel every emotion that he sets out to convey.

The Stories – we have two great stories for you to enjoy this week. The first comes in the form of a Five Minute mystery. For the second we have, The Troubadour, which is  written by Robert A. W. Lowndes. This a strange but spirited science fiction story that is worth listening to. It is short, but has a message for us all.

A New Website for the RAS – I have created a new website for you to have a look at. It is completed, but I am not sure it will be the new home of Ron’s Amazing Stories. You can check it out here and tell me what you think. I would appreciate any feedback.
