Welcome to Stars On Suspense, presenting legends of Hollywood in "radio's outstanding theater of thrills." For twenty years, Suspense presented some of the greatest mysteries and thrillers on radio - legendary plays like "Sorry, Wrong Number," "The Hitch-Hiker," and "The House in Cypress Canyon." During its long radio run, Suspense attracted some of the biggest names in Hollywood to its microphones to play the hunter and the hunted, heroes and villains, and victims and killers. 

Each week, tune in for a new podcast episode spotlighting a star of stage, screen, or radio in old time radio mysteries that are "well calculated to keep you in Suspense!"

My month of personal favorites continues with two for the price of one - my favorite Suspense episodes adapted from the stories of Ray Bradbury, one of my favorite writers. He’s best known for his science fiction stories, but the tales here are (mostly) down to earth tales of thrills and chills. Dana Andrews is a cop hunting a killer in “The Crowd” (originally aired on CBS on September 21, 1950); a children’s game may hide a sinister secret in “Zero Hour” (originally aired on CBS on April 5, 1955); Jeanette Nolan takes the long way home in “The Whole Town’s Sleeping” (originally aired on CBS on June 14, 1955); and a crew of astronauts makes their final voyage in “Kaleidoscope” (originally aired on CBS on July 12, 1955).
