Podcasts about Amazing Stories

On this episode of Ron's Amazing Stories, we head west—way west—to the dusty Wyoming frontier with the Lux Radio Theater production of Shane. Originally aired on February 22, 1955, this broadcast stars Alan Ladd, who reprises his iconic role from the 1953 film of the same name. We'll take a look at the movie that redefined the western genre, talk about the incredible run of Lux Radio Theater, and explore why the 1950s were the golden age of cowboy storytelling. Along the way, we'll cover the film's massive box office success, its impact on the “adult western,” and even how Hollywood managed to make Alan Ladd look larger-than-life—despite being five-foot-six. And as a bonus, stick around after the main goodbye for a little extra cowboy wisdom and humor. Because when it comes to Shane, you never want to leave the campfire too early. What You'll Hear This Week: The story behind the 1953 classic film Shane How Lux Radio Theater brought Hollywood to the airwaves Why westerns ruled the 1950s The surprising box office success of Shane And, of course, the full radio adaptation starring Alan Ladd So, tighten your saddle, pour yourself a black coffee (no lattes for Shane), and join me for a ride through one of the greatest westerns ever told.

In 2007, Tiffany Rubin, a special education teacher from Queens, New York, was sharing joint custody of her 6-year-old son, Kobe Lee, with her ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Lee. During a scheduled visit, Lee abducted Kobe and secretly took him to South Korea, his native country, without informing Tiffany. Tiffany flew to South Korea with the help of some amazing people with the American Association for Lost Children, after receiving a tip via her MySpace page from a local teacher who had seen Kobe. Tiffany successfully returned Kobe to the U.S., and her story became a powerful example of a mother's determination and love.

He mailed his first manuscripts to Amazing Stories after reading an issue he borrowed from a neighbor. Despite those humble beginnings, he went on to coin terms like “genetic engineering” and “terraforming” that are still widely used in science fiction todayAt just 20 years old, Jack Williamson submitted this story to Hugo Gernsback at Amazing Stories. This comes from the magazine: ‘The Metal Man contains an abundant matter of mystery, adventure, and for a short story, a surprising amount of true science. Unless we are very much mistaken, this story will be hailed with delight by every scientifiction fan. We hope Mr. Williamson can be induced to write a number of stories in a similar vein.'

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we're celebrating Labor Day with a special double feature. Our first tale comes from the series Escape and is titled Conquerer's Isle. Three Navy flyers, lost in the South China Sea, discover a secret underground civilization that sees them as little more than pets. It's a strange mix of survival, science fiction, and a chilling vision of humanity's “next stage.” Then, we turn from fantasy to history with Cavalcade of America's Railroad Builders, which first aired on April 15th, 1936. It honors the men who laid steel tracks across mountains, plains, and rivers—building a pathway that connected a nation. Two very different stories—one imagined, one real—but both remind us of the courage, toil, and spirit of labor. So, fire up the grill, grab a cool drink, and settle in for this Labor Day adventure.

This time on  Ron's Amazing Stories, we're diving into one of Alfred Hitchcock's most celebrated thrillers—Shadow of a Doubt. Originally released as a film in 1943 and starring Joseph Cotten and Teresa Wright, the story gets a radio makeover in the Screen Director's Playhouse adaptation from November 1950. This time, none other than Cary Grant steps into the role of Uncle Charlie, bringing his trademark charm with an unsettling twist. What makes Shadow of a Doubt stand out in Hitchcock's catalog is its unique suspense style. We, the audience, know from the beginning that Uncle Charlie has a dark secret. The real tension comes from watching his niece slowly uncover the horrifying truth about the man she once adored. It's a masterclass in slow-burn suspense, set against the deceptively cozy backdrop of small-town America. On the podcast today, you'll hear: Background on Alfred Hitchcock's 1943 masterpiece. Cary Grant's turn as Uncle Charlie in the 1950 radio adaptation. A full presentation of the Screen Director's Playhouse episode of Shadow of a Doubt. So, grab your headphones, settle into your favorite chair, and prepare for a suspenseful ride into Hitchcock territory. As always, stay tuned after the play for my thoughts and a few laughs to lighten the mood.

Send us a textAron Ralston's name became synonymous with extraordinary survival when, trapped by a boulder in Utah's Blue John Canyon for six days, he amputated his own arm with a dull multi-tool knife to escape certain death. Yet as he reveals in this profound conversation, the physical act of cutting through his arm represents just a fraction of his story's true significance."We don't get to control what happens to us, we get to choose how we respond," Aron reflects, distilling two decades of post-trauma wisdom into a philosophy that transforms boulders into blessings. The gift of his ordeal wasn't merely survival but a complete reorientation toward what truly matters—loving relationships, present-moment awareness, and the spiritual connections that transcend our physical limitations.The podcast delves into the mystical dimensions of Aron's experience, from recording goodbye messages that filled him with gratitude rather than despair to experiencing a vision of his future son that gave him the determination to free himself. These moments reveal how crisis can strip away superficial concerns and connect us to deeper truths. "You cannot simultaneously hold profound despair and profound gratitude in your heart at the same time," he observes, offering a practical approach to navigating life's inevitable challenges.Now approaching fifty with two children, Aron describes how his understanding of "victory" has evolved from achievement to connection. The father who once sought to conquer Colorado's highest peaks now finds his greatest wins in moments of connection with his children and in choosing peace over being right. His powerful mantra "I'm still here" serves as both a survival declaration and a mindfulness practice that grounds us in the fundamental gift of existence.Whether you're facing your own metaphorical boulder or simply seeking to live with greater presence and purpose, Aron's journey offers a roadmap for transforming adversity through acceptance, gratitude, and the recognition that our true legacy lies not in what we accomplish but in how we love. Listen, share, and discover how to use life's challenges as catalysts for profound transformation.Support the showhttps://bamboolab3.com/

ITP - 128 This episode of the International Teacher Podcast was basically Kent “the Cat Guy” announcing his dramatic repatriation from Saudi Arabia to Washington State, where he's now semi-retired, semi-confused, and fully rebranded as the “Cats Guy” (plural, because kittens). Between tales of neighbors who don't want to party, doctors who look like they should still be in his fourth-grade class, and the realization that U.S. health insurance costs more than a small villa overseas, Kent admits reverse culture shock is real—though e-bikes, cat cafés, and traffic fingers keep things interesting. Meanwhile, Greg laments being abandoned, JP Mint sneaks in a plug for consulting season, and everyone agrees that international teachers need merch: t-shirts with pre-printed answers like “No, I didn't live in a cave” and “Yes, we spoke English.” In short, Kent may have left expat life, but he's still unpacking—both his luggage and his identity—one cat toy at a time.Greg's Nice Biking Interview (less than a minute) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3gLnOqSEjA&list=PLs1B3Wc0wm6DR_99OS5SyzvuzENc-bBdO&index=85 -- more --The International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education.

The space ships were miracles of power and precision; the men who manned them, rich in endurance and courage. Every detail had been checked and double checked; every detail except—The Nothing Equation by Tom Godwin. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Tom Godwin was born in Maryland back in 1915, and life wasn't exactly easy for him early on—he left school after the third grade. But he had a wild imagination and a passion for stories, which eventually led him to the world of science fiction in the 1950s. He didn't write a ton, but the stories he did publish really stuck—most famously The Cold Equations, a tale that's still sparking debates today. Godwin had a way of throwing ordinary people into extraordinary, no-win situations, and that's what made his work unforgettable.Just so you know The Cold Equations is on our list of stories to narrate in the future.Ordinary people, extraordinary situations is a good way to introduce our story.

On this episode of Ron's Amazing Stories, we take to the skies—and then make an emergency landing in the frozen wilderness! Our featured story comes from the Lux Radio Theater and is titled Island In The Sky. It stars Dick Powell as pilot John Dooley, who must lead his crew to survival after their plane is forced down in Labrador's icy barrens. Before it was a radio play, Island In The Sky was a 1953 film starring none other than John Wayne. And here's the real kicker—it's based on a true story from the pen (and cockpit) of Ernest K. Gann, who lived through similar events as a WWII pilot. This isn't just high drama—it's history in action. So, grab your headphones and maybe a warm blanket—because this tale is going to chill you to the bone. What you'll hear in this episode: A short background on the film, the radio play, and the true events that inspired it. Dick Powell stepping into the cockpit as John Dooley. A full broadcast of the Lux Radio Theater production Island In The Sky. Ron's commentary on survival, teamwork, and a few laughs along the way. Listening time: About 1 hour.

On Ron's Amazing stories this time, we drift deep into the crackle and hiss of late-night shortwave radio. What begins as idle tuning on a battered Zenith Trans-Oceanic turns into something much stranger: two complete old-time radio programs surfacing on a signal that shouldn't exist. First, from the hypnotic and unsettling world of Quiet, Please, we hear “Whence Came You?” (1948) — a slow-burn tale of an archaeologist in Egypt who discovers far more than ancient ruins. Then, without warning, the dial delivers us into the grim territory of Lights Out with “Knock at the Door” (1942), a short, shocking story that might have you keeping the lights on tonight. But the night has one more surprise: a fleeting, unexplained transmission — a whisper, a burst of Morse code, and a voice warning, “…don't let him open the door—” before vanishing into silence. Was it an atmospheric fluke? A hidden rebroadcast? Or did we stumble into a station that exists somewhere beyond the usual airwaves? Tune in, lean close, and decide for yourself.

Dr. Liam Hammer, Head of School in Zambia, joins us live from an orientation dinner. Liam shares his fascinating journey from a teenage dream of teaching in remote Papua New Guinea to leadership roles across five countries. The conversation explores the essential role of onboarding in teacher retention, the reality of navigating cultural norms, and the often-overlooked salary disparities in international schools—what Liam terms “passportism.” He also dives into his academic work, including publishing research on leadership, special needs, and equity in international education. With wit and humility, Liam discusses balancing multiple hats as a school leader, the evolving nature of international schools, and the powerful draw of teaching abroad. His candid insights, stories of immigration mishaps, and deep passion for educational equity make this episode both eye-opening and inspiring for aspiring and seasoned international educators alike.The International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education. New Teachers, burned out local teachers, local School Leaders, International school Leadership, current Overseas Teachers, and everyone interested in international schools can benefit from hearing stories and advice about living and teaching overseas.Additional Gems Related to Our Show:Greg's Favorite Video From Living Overseas - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQWKBwzF-hwSignup to be our guest  https://calendly.com/itpexpat/itp-interview?month=2025-01Our Website⁠ -  https://www.itpexpat.com/Our FaceBook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/itpexpat⁠JPMint Consulting Website  - https://www.jpmintconsulting.com/Greg's Personal YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs1B3Wc0wm6DR_99OS5SyzvuzENc-bBdOBooks By Gregory Lemoine:⁠"International Teaching: The Best-kept Secret in Education"⁠ | by Gregory Lemoine M.Ed.⁠"Finding the Right Fit: Your Professional Guide for International Educator Recruiting Fairs and Amazing Stories of a Teacher Living Overseas⁠" |by Gregory Lemoine M.Ed.Partner Podcasts:Just to Know You:  https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/just-to-know-you/id1655096513Educators Going Global: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/educators-going-global/id1657501409Relative Hashes:#internationalteachersday #internationaleducation #overseaseducation #internationalschools #education #teacherburnout #teachersalarynews #teachersalary #teacherrecruitments #overseaseducatorfairs

This is episode #700 of Ron's Amazing Stories! Can you believe it? Seven hundred episodes of time travel through tales, truth, and the occasional trench-coated raccoon. More on that in a bit. Today's journey starts deep in the heart of Secrets of Scotland Yard, the legendary radio drama that pulled back the curtain on some of Britain's most chilling cases. We'll share two classic episodes, each steeped in mystery, crime, and a touch of old-world British grit: Featured Stories: “The Man with the Violin: The Charles Peace Case” Meet Charles Peace—by day, a violinist and gentleman. By night, a rooftop-scaling, disguise-wearing, cold-blooded killer. His tale winds through 19th-century rooftops and courtrooms, ending, as many true crimes do, with a noose and a gasp. Bonus Ron Fact: Charles Peace inspired a 1949 British crime film, and every bit of his story—from obsession to execution—is documented history. “Just A Matchstick And A Duster” A peculiar little tale about two ordinary items and a rather extraordinary crime. Though no concrete history backs this one up, the mystery remains... and sometimes, that's the fun of it. Special Segment: Don's Astounding Stories Hits 700 In celebration of our 700th episode, we share the completely true and not-at-all embellished tale of Don's Astounding Stories, a podcast that defied logic, common sense, and multiple cease-and-desist letters to reach its own 700-episode milestone. From answering machines to AI co-hosts and spam busts, this satirical tribute reminds us all: you don't need polish to have persistence. You just need Don... and possibly a backup host made of kitchen appliances. Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at .

On Ron's Amazing Stories this week, Ears That Betray, Eyes That See. We head into the murky world of eavesdropping, unspoken truths, and the heavy price of hearing too much. With two chilling tales from the golden age of radio, we explore how curiosity doesn't just kill the cat—it occasionally takes a few bystanders with it. Stories Featured: The Whistler – “The Witness” - Original Air Date: July 8, 1951 - A brilliant young architect sees his career implode—only to be offered a lifeline from a coworker with a price. When ambition mixes with manipulation, the cost of success may be far higher than anyone imagined. Suspense – “Sorry, Wrong Number” - Original Air Date: May 25, 1943 - Written by Lucille Fletcher. Starring Agnes Moorehead in her most legendary radio performance. An invalid woman, confined to her bed, overhears a phone call that pulls her into a deadly web. Frantic, powerless, and unheard—her night spirals into sheer terror. Host's Note: From architects of fate to victims of coincidence, both tales remind us that sometimes, hearing too much—or seeing too clearly—can be the beginning of the end. Evil doesn't knock. It whispers. And if you're unlucky enough to be listening... well, you've already invited it in.

ITP - 124 Greg (currently in the Middle East) and Jacqueline (currently in Canada) talk once again with returning guest Noah Spaulding (currently in Pakistan) to reflect on his wide-ranging journey as an international educator. From Honduras to Qatar, China to Pakistan, Noah shares thoughtful stories about life and work overseas—what it's taught him, how it's shaped his approach to education, and what it's meant for his family. The conversation touches on everything from cultural adaptation and school systems to the realities of raising kids abroad and navigating customs with a suitcase full of “essentials.” It's an honest and often humorous look at the rewards, challenges, and personal growth that come with living and teaching internationally. We'd like to publicly thank Noah for returning to the show!
