This week on Ron's Amazing Stories we visit the famous brownstone of one of radio's most brilliant—and most stubborn—detectives. Join Nero Wolfe and his trusted assistant Archie Goodwin for an evening of classic mystery, clever deduction, and murder most foul. Created by Rex Stout, Nero Wolfe became one of detective fiction's most beloved characters, appearing in dozens of novels and radio adaptations. Tonight we feature two adventures from The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe starring the unforgettable Sidney Greenstreet as the great detective and Harry Bartell as Archie Goodwin. Wolfe may prefer orchids, gourmet meals, and the comfort of his armchair, but trouble has a habit of knocking at his door. In This Episode "The Girl That Cried Wolfe" (12/15/1950) Archie and Nero receive a call from a redhead determined to create confusion and distraction. But when deception turns deadly, the question becomes—was Nero Wolfe quick enough to stop a murder? "The Impolite Corpse" (12/8/1950) Nero is called to investigate the murder of an overbearing businessman whose endless rules made him plenty of enemies. This time, Wolfe may have discovered a victim who made one rule too many. Tonight we'll explore the fascinating history of Nero Wolfe, from the novels of Rex Stout to his radio adventures, and talk about the remarkable Sidney Greenstreet, whose commanding performance helped define the character for generations of listeners. So settle back, dim the lights, and enjoy Nero Wolfe: A Night of Murder & Mystery. And remember… every story leaves something behind.

My guest for this episode is historian and filmmaker Dean Bertram. Dean's current project is The Man Who Invented Flying Saucers, a documentary about the relationship between science fiction pioneer Raymond A. Palmer and the writer Richard Shaver, whose stories about his encounters with terrifying subterranean beings called Deros captivated readers in the pages of the magazine Amazing Stories (which Palmer edited at the time) in the 1940's. The ‘Shaver Mysteries' as they came to be known would also set the stage for the emergence of the UFO phenomenon in post-war America. In the interview I begin by talking with Dean about how the idea for the documentary came about, after which we discuss Ray Palmer and Richard Shaver and the subtle way that their lives seemed to complement one another. We also talk about the Shaver Mysteries and the themes they explored along with Ray Palmer's connection to Kenneth Arnold and the enigmatic Maury Island incident.

A hundred years ago this spring, a magazine called Amazing Stories hit the newsstands and — almost by accident — gave a name and a shape to the genre we now call science fiction. Its publisher, Hugo Gernsback, was an immigrant electrical engineer, visionary and relentless self-promoter. He wanted his magazine to delight and enthrall – but also to educate. In this opening episode of The Tech Imaginarium, John and Ezri go back to 1926 to ask why this peculiar pulp magazine matters — and why its mix of techno-optimism, prophetic vision and dystopic warnings still echoes through the way we talk about technology today. In this episode: Hugo Gernsback: Luxembourg-born inventor, publisher of Amazing Stories, and author of stories under at least seven anagrams of his own name The strange scientific weather of 1926 — electrification, mustard gas, Einstein, Schrödinger and Hubble — and why it primed the public for "scientifiction" The first issue's contributors: Wells, Verne and Poe in one corner; George Allan England, G. Peyton Wertenbaker and Austin Hall in the other Robert Goddard, H.G. Wells and the through-line from pulp magazines to the Apollo Moon launches Why Gernsback's reputation was contraversial — paying writers poorly, exaggerating circulation, etc. The tropes Amazing Stories planted that we're still living with Links and resources: Website: learninghackpodcast.com Instagram: @tech.imaginarium Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JohnHelmerConsulting Music by Nick Dwyer and Flintet.

In 1983, Isaac Asimov predicted that computers would let every person learn what they wanted, in their own time, at their own speed. Forty years on, that vision is more or less the world we live in. So what else might science fiction have to tell us about the future we're already inside? Welcome to The Tech Imaginarium — a new six-part series exploring how science fiction made the modern world. Co-hosts John Helmer and Ezri Carlebach introduce the season ahead, the texts and authors they'll be reading as "skewed mirrors" of our technological present, and why now is exactly the right moment to be paying attention to SF. In this episode: Asimov's startlingly accurate 1983 prediction about computer-aided learning Why science fiction is a form of learning, not just entertainment — Stephen Baxter's "skewed mirror" A first look at the six-episode season: Amazing Stories at 100, five foundational SF authors, two episodes on Asimov, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and the awkward question of whether SF predicts the future Links and resources: Website: learninghackpodcast.com Instagram: @TechImaginarium Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JohnHelmerConsulting Music by Nick Dwyer and Flintet.

This episode of Ron's Amazing Stories presents a chilling double feature from the legendary science fiction radio series X Minus One. Tonight we explore two very different visions of imprisonment — one through unbearable loneliness and the other through the terrifying loss of privacy itself. In "Knock," adapted from the famous two-sentence story by Frederick Brown, the last surviving man on Earth faces alien conquerors and the crushing weight of solitude. Then in Theodore Sturgeon's unsettling "Mr. Costello, Hero," a charismatic manipulator transforms an entire colony into a place where being alone is considered a crime. Two stories. Two futures. One haunting question: What happens when humanity loses the freedom to simply be human? In this Episode Knock (5/22/1955) – Adapted from the Frederick Brown story. After aliens conquer Earth, the last surviving man struggles against impossible odds to avenge humanity and reclaim his world. Mr. Costello, Hero (7/3/1956) – Adapted from the Theodore Sturgeon story. A colony discovers the horrifying consequences of a society where solitude and privacy have become punishable offenses. A look back at the history and legacy of X Minus OneThoughts on loneliness, surveillance, freedom, and why these stories still resonate today Join Ron for a journey into the strange futures imagined by radio's golden age — where the stars are beautiful, the future is uncertain, and freedom is never guaranteed.

Tonight, we journey into the golden age of radio with a double feature from the legendary series Escape. Known for its gripping storytelling, rich sound design, and unforgettable performances, Escape took listeners to the far edges of imagination—and sometimes beyond. In this episode, we explore two powerful tales that ask a timeless question: what happens when ordinary people reach beyond their limits? First, from the mind of H.G. Wells, a man gains the ability to perform miracles—but quickly discovers that power without understanding can lead to chaos. Then, we head to the open sea, where a ruthless captain is willing to sacrifice everything for wealth… until something—or someone—stands in his way. Two stories. Two men. One dangerous truth: power always comes at a price. In This Episode: The Man Who Could Work Miracles (1948) An ordinary man gains extraordinary power—and learns the hard way that miracles aren't as simple as they seem. The Adversary (1954) A sea captain's greed leads him toward a deadly decision, but fate may have other plans. A look at the classic radio series Escape and its legacy in audio storytelling Themes of power, control, and the consequences of going too far Sit back, dim the lights, and let your imagination set sail.

In 1945, the end of the second world war was approaching, atom bombs were on the way, and science fiction felt more like speculative prophecies than adventure stories. In the pages of pulp magazine, claims that ancient civilizations lived beneath the surface of the earth, armed with forgotten technologies, and mutated into something monstrous and cruel. To some, it was pulp fantasy. To others, a terrifying revelation. Blurring the line between imagination and belief, the Shaver Mystery presented a surreal reality that was anything but ordinary.

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we dim the lights and tune the dial to something a little… unsettling. We present a chilling double feature from the classic old-time radio series The Hall of Fantasy—a show where the supernatural wasn't just spooky… it was often unstoppable.

So settle in, keep the lights on if you need to… and enjoy a journey into the strange and unusual. In This Episode: Introduction to what made "creepy" truly effective in the early 1950s Background on The Hall of Fantasy and its unique storytelling style "Hangman's Rope" (1/5/1953): A quiet drive turns into a chilling encounter filled with eerie coincidence Thoughts on urban legends and how stories like this may have shaped them "The Man From Second Earth" (8/10/1953): Science reaches into the unknown… and something answers The blend of science fiction and creeping dread that defined the series A fun wrap-up tying both stories into one unforgettable "creepy fest" Listener Mail: Why radio storytelling faded—and how it lives on today A look at the future of the show, including the possibility of deeper discussions and guest conversations Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at audibletrial.com/ronsamazingstories.

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we bring you a special one-hour broadcast from the legendary Suspense—and this one's a real treat. In a rare and clever crossover, Suspense takes characters from The Adventures of Sam Spade and drops them into a brand-new mystery. At the center of it all is the one and only Sam Spade, back on the case and up to his neck in trouble. When a message arrives from an old enemy thought long gone—the infamous Fat Man from The Maltese Falcon—Sam is pulled into a strange hunt for something as unlikely as it is important… a tooth. Yes, you heard that right. What follows is a winding, suspense-filled adventure packed with familiar faces, sharp dialogue, and that unmistakable old-time radio charm. Originally aired on January 10, 1948, this episode is a perfect example of why these stories have stood the test of time. In This Episode A special one-hour presentation from Suspense The return of Sam Spade in a unique crossover story A message from the "not-so-dead" Fat Man A bizarre mystery involving a very important tooth Familiar characters from The Maltese Falcon Ron's thoughts on the story, including Cairo's over-the-top performance Why slow-building stories often deliver the best payoff Sit back, relax, and let your imagination take over—just like they did back in the golden age of radio.

The Whistler: Nothing Could Possibly Go Wrong Tonight on Ron's Amazing Stories, we present a special double feature from one of radio's most delightfully cynical series—The Whistler. Known for its sharp irony and unforgettable twists, this show reminds us that fate always has the final say… and it rarely plays fair. Our first tale, "Death Has a Thirst" (1942), takes us on a troubled sea voyage where a strained marriage, a so-called friend, and the question of inherited madness collide. Can you outrun what's inside you… or does it simply wait for the right moment to surface? Then in "Lucky Night" (1945), a sudden accident turns into unexpected fortune for a pair of tightfisted boarding house owners. But as luck rolls in, so do complications—proving that sometimes the best things in life come with the highest price. Two stories. Two chances at something better. And two reminders that getting what you want… might not be the happy ending you had in mind. So sit back, relax, and remember—everything will be just fine. Probably. In This Episode A brief history of The Whistler and its unique storytelling style "Death Has a Thirst" – A troubled marriage, a shipwreck, and fate closing in Themes of heredity, escape, and inevitability "Lucky Night" – When bad luck becomes very good… or does it? The dangers of sudden fortune and hidden consequences How both stories explore desire vs. reality—with a twist of irony Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at audibletrial.com/ronsamazingstories.

Donovan's Brain: The Man Who Wouldn't Stay Dead This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we journey into one of the most chilling tales from the golden age of radio—Donovan's Brain. Originally written by Curt Siodmak and brought to life on the legendary radio program Suspense, this story explores what happens when science pushes beyond its moral limits. Starring Orson Welles as Dr. Patrick Cory, this 1944 broadcast was originally presented over two nights. For this episode, Ron has carefully edited the two parts into a single, seamless story—removing original commercials and smoothing the narrative for a more immersive listening experience. At its core, Donovan's Brain is more than just a horror story. It's a haunting exploration of identity, control, and the consequences of tampering with forces we may not fully understand. And as technology continues to evolve in our modern world, its themes feel more relevant than ever. So dim the lights, settle in, and prepare yourself… because some minds refuse to stay silent—even after death. In This Episode The origins of Donovan's Brain in pulp fiction and radio drama A look at Suspense and its unforgettable adaptation Orson Welles' powerful performance as Dr. Patrick Cory A fully restored and edited version of the original two-part broadcast The moral dilemma behind keeping a human brain alive A mid-story discussion on science, ethics, and the nature of consciousness Post-story reflections on "what if" the brain had belonged to someone else Final thoughts connecting the story to modern technology and AI Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at audibletrial.com/ronsamazingstories.

Tonight's episode is a detective's nightmare—where the problem isn't finding suspects… it's finding someone still alive who knows the truth. We're bringing you a classic old-time radio detective double feature, featuring two gripping cases. From a client who never gets the chance to explain himself… to a witness who seems to vanish into thin air… these stories remind us that sometimes the most dangerous place to be… is close to the truth. So settle in, dim the lights, and keep your story straight—because tonight, someone is working very hard at silencing the truth. In This Episode A classic detective double feature featuring two legendary radio investigators Richard Diamond, Private Detective – "The Evan's Farmer Case" (8/23/1950) - A wealthy client calls for help… but doesn't survive long enough to explain why Diamond must solve a case with nothing but questions—and a body on the pavement Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar – "Witness, Witness, Who's Got The Witness" (10/22/1949) - A missing witness turns into a deadly chain of events. Johnny Dollar finds himself in the crosshairs as the truth gets closer Ron talks about the connecting theme of silenced voices and missing witnesses Commentary and narration that tie both stories into one chilling idea: What happens when the truth has no one left to tell it? Two detectives. Two cases. One unsettling pattern— the truth is out there… but someone is making sure it stays buried.

He builds the perfect opponent, then realizes the contest won't mean anything unless it can truly cost him something. When he finally forces that moment into existence, he has to decide whether victory is still worth pulling the trigger. The Fastest Draw by Larry Eisenberg. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.This is the first story by Larry Eisenberg featured on the podcast. He was born in the Bronx in December 1919 and built a career that spanned both science and writing.Alongside his science fiction, Eisenberg worked as a biomedical engineer and became widely known for the witty limericks he posted in the comment sections of The New York Times. When he died in 2018 at the age of 99, the paper honored him with the headline, “Larry Eisenberg, 99, Dead; His Limericks Were Very Well Read.”He studied at City College of New York, where he earned bachelor's degrees in electrical engineering and mathematics, and later continued at Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, completing both a master's degree and a Ph.D. in electronics.With that kind of technical foundation, it's no surprise this story reflects the idea that writers often draw from what they know.Over the course of his career, he wrote about fifty short stories between 1962 and 1988. This was only his second published story, appearing in Amazing Stories in October 1963 on page 35, The Fastest Draw by Larry Eisenberg…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A discovery that could rewrite medicine instead threatens to erase the man who reaches for it first. Now one decision must be made—protect the truth, or bury it forever to preserve a lifetime of belief. The Sweeper of Loray by Robert Sheckley.

In this episode of Ron's Amazing Stories, we head out to the Old West with a radio adaptation of the classic film Broken Arrow. Originally released in 1950 and starring James Stewart, Broken Arrow tells a story inspired by the real-life friendship between Apache leader Cochise and U.S. Army scout Tom Jeffords. While the film takes its share of dramatic liberties, it was one of the first major Westerns to present Native Americans in a more thoughtful and sympathetic way. Our Story comes from the golden age of radio, as Screen Directors Playhouse brings the action to life—featuring James Stewart, Jeff Chandler, and Debra Paget reprising their roles from the original film. So sit back, relax, and let your imagination take over.

A magazine that first hit newsstands 100 years ago today was unlike anything readers had seen before. Its cover featured a brightly-colored painting of people ice-skating on a comet as it zoomed past Saturn. Its founding editor, Hugo Gernsback, called it “a new sort of magazine” – “a magazine of ‘scientifiction'” – a genre known today as science fiction. Amazing Stories was the first magazine dedicated solely to the genre. Its debut issue, which was dated April 1926, carried reprints of stories by Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Edgar Allen Poe, and others. The story titles included “The Man from the Atom” and “The Thing from – Beyond.” The magazine was an instant hit. Within a year, monthly circulation was at 150,000. Other publishers quickly caught on, and began publishing many more sci-fi magazines. Over the decades, they included such titles as Fantastic, Astonishing, and Astounding. They featured many of the major figures of science fiction’s “golden age.” Their inventive stories and eye-catching covers caught the attention of lots of youngsters. The magazines inspired many of them to pursue careers in astronomy, physics, engineering, and related fields. They also inspired future filmmakers, who expanded “scientifiction” far beyond the printed page. Few science-fiction magazines have survived. But their influence is still felt today – on Earth – and beyond. Script by Damond Benningfield

What would happen if you could step into the past? Would you fix a mistake? Change the course of history? Save someone? Or would one small action send shockwaves into the present? This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we explore two unforgettable science fiction tales that tackle one of the genre's most fascinating questions: Can the past truly be changed? First, we journey back to the age of dinosaurs in "A Sound of Thunder," based on the classic story by Ray Bradburyand originally broadcast on SF '68. A wealthy hunter travels millions of years into the past for the ultimate trophy — but one misstep may alter the future in ways no one expects. Then, from the legendary radio series X Minus One, we present "Time and Time Again." A soldier on the brink of death finds himself thrown backward in time — and attempts to change history. But is the past something we can rewrite… or is it already written? In This Episode: The science (and speculation) behind time travel The danger of paradoxes and the famous "butterfly effect" "A Sound of Thunder" – time tourism with catastrophic consequences "Time and Time Again" – can one man alter history? The idea that the past may be fixed — and why that might be comforting Thank you for listening to Ron's Amazing Stories.

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we head back to the golden age of radio science fiction — when Mars wasn't just a planet… it was a possibility. The 1950s were fascinated with the Red Planet. From invasion fears to philosophical first contact, Martians were everywhere. Tonight, we present two outstanding radio dramas that explore humanity's encounter with Mars in very different ways. One throws a parade. The other hires a detective. Both ask timeless questions about who we are when faced with the unknown. In This Episode "The Parade" – Dimension X (8/25/1950) Based on a story by Ray Bradbury, an advertising agency is hired to organize a grand parade for visitors from Mars. It's thoughtful, eerie, and builds toward a quiet twist that lingers long after the final line. "The Embassy" – X Minus One (7/28/1955) A private detective is tasked with locating the Martian embassy on Earth. A noir-tinged science fiction tale that trades ray guns for moral dilemmas and asks deeper questions about identity and belonging. These two classics showcase the brilliance of golden age radio storytelling. No flashy effects. No over-the-top spectacle. Just strong writing, sharp performances, and ideas that still resonate decades later. The 1950s may be remembered as the era of Martian invasion, but beneath the flying saucers were stories about fear, curiosity, and what it truly means to be human. So sit back, dim the lights, and listen closely. You never know who might be knocking.

Keith Tozer's amazing story by 102.9 The Hog
https://rumble.com/embed/v73fubo/?pub=84ufd Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel – Mark 7:14-23 – Jesus summoned the crowd again and said to them, “Hear Me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile.” When He got home away from the crowd His disciples questioned Him about the parable. He said to them, “Are even you likewise without understanding? Do you not realize that everything that goes into a person from outside cannot defile, since it enters not the heart but the stomach and passes out into the latrine?” (Thus He declared all foods clean.) “But what comes out of the man, that is what defiles him. From within the man, from his heart, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile.” Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes O Immaculate Conception , pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day
