News – August 22, 2023

The news this week is that my mother has been released from the hospital and has returned home. As you may already know, three weeks ago she fell and broke her hip. She is 97 years old. Her recovery is nothing short of a miracle! She still has a long road for a full recovery, and I am hopeful for the first time. Because of this I will be playing a full-hour episode of an episode of The Screen Directors Playhouse on the podcast this week. Thank you all for your prayers and support.

– Ron

RAS #603 – Joe Phy

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we break from the normal format just a bit. I was going through the archives and found a short I did a while back. I read through it and decided that it was pretty good and that it needed to make a return. It is from A Moment In Time Series I did in January of 2019. It takes you through four stories from a four month period during the year 1944. Also, on the show today we will play a classic western from the old time radio series GunSmoke.

Featured Story – Joe Phy

Our featured story comes from the OTR series Gunsmoke. The story we will play today comes from the third season of the series. Dillion goes to find a gunman in a town in which the sheriff is not what he seems. It is titled Joe Phy and first aired on August 9, 1954.

Other Stories Include – Carnival Caper, Review – Dead Ringer, A Moment In Time – 1944, and Joe Phy

The Man With Yellow Eyes

On the blog this time we have a very strange story from New Mexico. The fact that we have a strange story from there is not the odd part. Over the years of the show I can honestly say that we have more tales from The Land Of Enchantment than from anywhere. No, what makes this story strange is that I have never heard one like it before. It comes from Mike and that is all I know about him.

Hey Ron, my name is Mike and I am originally from Texas, but live in New Mexico ATM. In NM one thing you can do is drive. The endless desert is nothing short of amazing and I find peace just going out there to lose myself. It is relaxing. That is until it isn’t.

One night I was driving home from a day wine tasting. Many folk don’t know that New Mexico has some really fine vineyards and it can be a wonderful day trip. I was sober, clean and safe. However, my car may have had one too many and broke down.

I pulled over to the side of the road and realized that my phone was missing. This was going to be a long wait. I put out flares, donned an orange vest and thought about breaking out some of the cheese and crackers I bought. Out of nowhere a man came up to the car and started walking around it. He seemed particularly interested in the flares.

I got out of the car and started to tell him my problems. He totally ignored me and kept looking at those darn flares. I started in again and again he ignored me. Finally I shouted hey you deaf. It was then he looked up at me and I saw he had no face. Where his eyes were two yellow dots.

I took a step back and tripped on something. When I got up the man or whatever it was, was gone. About an hour later a patrol car rolled up and I got help. I decided not to tell the policeman my story. What do you think I saw? – Mike

Honestly Mike, I have no idea. Do know this. If it had happened to me I doubt I would have handled it as well as you sound like you did. I did find an obscure reference to a serial killer with yellow eyes in the Albuquerque area.

This Week’s Podcast:

On the show this week we review the audiobook Dead Ringer – A Western Trio by Louis L’Amour. Keeping the western theme, our featured story comes from the series Gunsmoke. Matt and Chester head to a small town to find a sheriff that is not what he seems. You can listen to this podcast on Thursday at Ron’s Amazing Stories, download it from Apple Podcasts, stream it on Stitcher Radio or on the mobile version of Spotify. Do you prefer the radio? We are heard every Thursday at 10:00 pm and Sunday Night at 11:00 PM (EST) on AMFM247.COM. Check your local listing or find the station closest to you at this link

RAS #602 – Jaywalker

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we get back to the good stuff with all new content. We are going to review a brand new audiobook from the Star Trek Series: Strange New Worlds. Next up we have two listener stories from you, for you. Both follow the theme of unexplainable voices. Our featured story comes from the OTR series X-Minus One. It is a tale titled Jaywalker but it should have been titled, Things Not To Do With A Spaceship.

I want to again thank everyone that sent me notes of encouragement and prayers for my mom. The surgery went well and she is rehab to start the recovery. I have told her about your support and it has meant a lot to her that you care. My sincere thanks to all of you. – Ron

Featured Story – Jaywalker

Our featured story is simply called, Jaywalker. We all know that a jaywalker is someone who walks across a street at a place where it is not allowed or without taking care to avoid the traffic. How does this relate to our story today? It takes jaywalking to a whole new level. What if space travel had a problem with jaywalkers? And what form would that take? The story first appeared in Galaxy Science Fiction, the December issue, 1950. The tag for this one was, CAUTION HAVE YOU PASSED YOUR PHYSICAL EXAMINATION? Avoiding It May Cost Your Life! What we will hear is from the OTR series X-Minus One and it uses the same title. It first aired on NBC on April 17, 1956.

Other Stories Include – Chicago To Denver, The High Country, The Ordeal At K’s House, But My Aunt’s Not Home, and Jaywalker
