So, I go through periods every so often where I listen to a lot of old time radio. Mostly, this has been focused on horror radio, as horror is My Thing, and mostly ends up with me telling everyone I know to go and listen to Quiet, Please*. But today, I had the urge to go find some episodes of The Shadow and has ended with me diving down the rabbit hole of radio suspense.

And now, along with The Shadow, I kinda want to listen to The Saint and Green Hornet and I was a Communist for the FBI. (That last I want to listen to pretty much only for the title - things don't get titles like that anymore, it's pretty awesome.)

I am so happy to be living in a time when the internet wants to provide me with so many lovely things. Most of which are free. So exciting!





*No, seriously, you should go do it. Quiet, Please is awesome. Here is a link to The Thing on the Fourble Board. You're welcome.

I've been listening to Valentin and the Widow, which is 1920s adventure radio serial - it's pretty good. I might have to try Quiet, Please!

Valentin and the Widow looks amazing - thanks very much for pointing it out to me.

Quiet, Please is wonderful. They make do with generally very minimal casts and the same person playing the narrator/protagonist in every episode, but the stories are so weird and the show honestly does live up to its name - it's a nicely quiet horror, that doesn't rely on screaming or jumps. I like a lot of old time radio horror, but Quiet, Please is my absolutely favorite. I hope you enjoy it.

Remind me - are you a Welcome to Night Vale fan?

[darchildre]

Yes, though I'm about 6-8 months behind at this point.

Ah, ok.
