Podcasts about Amazing Stories

On Ron's Amazing Stories this week, we're bringing back an old-fashioned RAS Double Feature. When television began finding its way into American homes, radio had to change. But what happened to all those actors whose faces had existed only in the imaginations of radio listeners? Many of them made the jump to television—and some became even bigger stars. Our two stories feature four familiar radio voices who did exactly that: Jack Webb, Raymond Burr, John Dehner, and William Conrad. In This Episode Geranium Plant — Jack Webb stars as wisecracking waterfront detective Pat Novak, with Raymond Burr as Inspector Hellman. What begins as a simple job delivering a geranium plant quickly turns into murder. The Adversary — John Dehner plays Captain "Honest" Weatherby in this adventure from Escape, with William Conrad narrating. There's a sunken ship, a fortune in pearls, a questionable crew, and some very serious questions about how that ship ended up on the bottom. From Radio to Television — Along the way, we look at how Webb, Burr, Dehner, and Conrad carried their talents from the microphones of old-time radio to the television screen.

On Ron's Amazing Stories this week, you asked for it... and that's exactly what you're going to get. This episode is built around listener emails and questions. We bring back an old RAS favorite, Johnny Is It True, with four stories from the history of the podcast. Elena wants to know if creepy listener stories are coming back. Caleb asks if Ron is real, how he researches the show, and whether he actually has a radio background. And Gideon has a request. After hearing a clip during our recent episode about sound effects, he wanted to hear the entire Gunsmoke story about the white buffalo. So we're making that happen. In This Episode Johnny Is It True Returns — Four stories from the history of Ron's Amazing Stories. Some involve listeners, some involve Ron doing questionable things behind a microphone... and at least one isn't quite what it seems. Are Listener Stories Coming Back? — Elena from Savannah, Georgia asks about the old creepy listener stories and whether These Are Your Stories might someday return. Q&A With Ron... Sort Of — Caleb from Boise, Idaho asks if Ron is an AI voice, how he researches the podcast, and what kind of radio background he actually has. Around The Bend — A familiar RAS song makes an appearance before we say goodbye. Featured Story Gunsmoke — "The Buffalo Killers" (June 7, 1952) Gideon from Burlington, Vermont heard part of this early Gunsmoke episode during our recent look at old-time radio sound effects and asked to hear the whole thing. William Conrad stars as Marshal Matt Dillon in a story involving two murdered buffalo hunters and one very unusual clue — a white buffalo pelt. It's an action-packed early episode of Gunsmoke, but listen closely to the sound effects. The horses, doors, footsteps, background sounds and, yes, plenty of gunfire help create a Dodge City you don't simply hear... you can almost see.

We all know the name Fulton Sheen, but do we know the person? Why did it take so long for him to be Beatified? What were the controversies that played a factor? Was he lax on contraception? Did he criticize Vatican II? What did he warn us about Communism? Listen to Fr. Chris Alar tell the whole story of this man on the way to being the first American-born male saint. 

On Ron's Amazing Stories this week, we're taking a trip through history — although perhaps not the kind you remember from school. We'll begin with the return of an old RAS segment, Not So Important Times in History. This time, we look at an international crisis that happened practically in my own backyard that nearly started a war between the United States and Great Britain. Then Suspense puts its own fictional spin on history with A Friend to Alexander, a strange tale involving dreams, Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton, and a famous duel. Finally, we climb aboard the old-time-radio time machine with You Are There. CBS reporters take us back to July 11th, 1804, to cover the Burr-Hamilton duel as though it were happening live. And somewhere along the way, we may even find out what happened to a pig. In This Episode • Not So Important Times in History: The Pig War — The strange 1859 incident that brought American and British forces face-to-face over the shooting of a pig. • Suspense: A Friend to Alexander — A man's dreams about Aaron Burr begin taking on some disturbingly familiar faces. Originally broadcast August 3rd, 1943. • You Are There: The Burr-Hamilton Duel — CBS turns one of America's most famous historical events into a live radio news report. Originally broadcast January 11th, 1948. Our surviving recording is incomplete. Featured Stories A Friend to Alexander from Suspense — August 3, 1943 History provides the inspiration for this unusual Suspense story about a man whose dreams carry him into the world of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. But when the people in those dreams begin resembling people from his own life, history and reality start getting a little too close for comfort. The Burr-Hamilton Duel from You Are There — January 11, 1948 You Are There had a wonderful idea: take CBS radio reporters and send them into the past to cover history as breaking news. This time the microphones are waiting in Weehawken, New Jersey, as Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr prepare for their famous duel.

An alien named Keeter makes an unplanned emergency landing near the Jefferson Memorial and treats the entire assembled US government with breezy, condescending indifference — right up until he needs a favor. What follows is a wry first-contact comedy where Earth's eager officials keep giving away more than they realize, chasing the promise of a “test” for interstellar federation membership that may not be quite what it seems.Murray F. Yaco was born in Queens, New York in 1927, served in the Army in Japan during World War II, and later worked as a war correspondent in Vietnam and Kuwait. He wrote only a handful of science fiction stories in the mid-20th century, with “Membership Drive” appearing in Amazing Stories in July 1960.If you have a story you'd like to contribute to the series, you can visit https://submissions.soundconceptmedia.com/You can support the show by becoming a paid subscriber on Substack: https://auditoryanthology.substack.comBy becoming a paid subscriber you can listen to every episode completely ad-free!Curator: Keith Conrad linktr.ee/keithrconradNarrator: Darren Marlar https://darrenmarlar.com/Other shows hosted by Darren:Weird Darkness: https://weirddarkness.com/Paranormality Magazine: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/paranormalitymagMicro Terrors: Scary Stories for Kids: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/microterrorsRetro Radio – Old Time Radio In The Dark: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/retroradioChurch of the Undead: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/churchoftheundead Hosted on Acast.

A young police officer finally gets the dangerous assignment he has been craving, only to discover that catching a killer may not solve the crime. In the 32nd century, the law can hold someone responsible who never pulled a trigger. Public Enemy by Kendell Foster Crossen. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Kendell Foster Crossen was born in 1910, in Albany, Ohio, the only child of farmers Sam and Clo Crossen. He attended Rio Grande College in Ohio on a football scholarship, was an amateur boxer, and before becoming a professional writer held a variety of jobs, including carnival barker and working as an insurance investigator. And today Kendell Foster Crossen makes his debut on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Crossen knew crime fiction from the inside. He moved to New York in 1935 and became editor of Detective Fiction Weekly in 1936. He later created the Green Lama and, writing as M. E. Chaber, created insurance investigator and occasional intelligence operative Milo March. Crossen was also one of the founders of the Mystery Writers of America. Interestingly, Crossen was already an established professional writer before he ever tried science fiction. His first two published science fiction stories appeared in February 1951, one in Amazing Stories and the other in Thrilling Wonder Stories. He soon became a familiar name in Thrilling Wonder Stories and Startling Stories. Crossen later said that he started writing science fiction because it gave him the opportunity to write satire and a certain kind of humor that was difficult to sell elsewhere. He described his science fiction career as relatively short, but said, “it was all fun.” Today's story appeared in the December 1952 issue of Dynamic Science Fiction on page 105, Public Enemy by Kendell Foster Crossen… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A brilliant inventor finally discovers that the future may be worth far more than anyone imagined. But turning tomorrow into financial security requires finding someone willing to make a very bad investment today. Security Plan by Joseph Farrell.

In the mid-80s, when no acclaimed film director would deign to enter the world of broadcast television, Steven Spielberg used his immense clout to create Amazing Stories. This big-budget anthology show mostly underwhelmed viewers during its two seasons, but its one animated experiment remains the series' greatest achievement. The brainchild of Brad Bird, "Family Dog" brought theatrical-level animation to the small screen in a particularly dire era for the medium, and presaged creations like The Simpsons—which Bird would later work on. This month on What A Cartoon, join us as we examine this highly influential piece of late '80s animation and desperately try to forget the one-season disaster it spawned many years later.

“The wonderful thing about storytelling is it's a craft and you can get better at it.” — Peter OrtonAt 30, Peter Orton had tenure as a public school teacher and the promise of a secure career. But when his father sensed he wasn't happy, he asked a simple question: “So what's stopping you?” Within a week, Peter resigned and eventually headed west to pursue his dream of becoming a writer.Nearly a decade later, a phone call from legendary writer Richard Matheson changed everything. Peter had submitted scripts for Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories. Matheson's notes? Two words: “Shoot it.” Soon after, Peter was working at Universal Studios as a story editor.That turning point began a career spanning Hollywood, Stanford, IBM, and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Along the way, Peter founded IBM's Global Storytelling Practice and became a teacher and scholar of how stories work.In this episode, Peter joins Jerome Deroy and Julienne Ryan to reflect on a lifetime of studying, practicing, and teaching storytelling—and what he's learned about the craft along the way.You'll Hear:The conversation with Peter's father that led him to leave a tenured teaching position at age 30 and head to Los AngelesWhy pursuing his dream didn't mean overnight success—and what Peter did for nearly a decade to learn the craft of screenwritingThe remarkable phone call from Richard Matheson that led to Peter becoming a story editor on Steven Spielberg's Amazing StoriesHow Peter's interests in storytelling, education, and media eventually came together at Stanford and IBMWhy IBM began investing in storytelling as a leadership and communication competencyThe difference between recognizing a story and understanding what actually makes something a storyWhy knowing your audience may be the most important rule in storytellingHow concrete, sensory details help your audience create a “little movie” in their minds—and make a story more memorableWhy stories often become shorter and stronger as we refine themPeter's thoughts on the increasingly visual future of storytelling and communicationWhy turning points—both intentional and accidental—can be powerful starting places for finding our storiesWhy storytelling isn't something you either have or don't have, but a craft that improves through practice and feedbackResources & LinksPeter Orton is the author of The Elements of Story: How to Craft Engaging Story for Effective Communication and Presentation.Learn more about Peter and his work at Working StoriesExperience The Listening LabLooking for greater clarity around your own story and purpose?The Listening Lab is a community for leaders, coaches, and professionals who want to think more clearly, communicate more authentically, and discover the stories that move people.

Expectations are good in a lot of ways. They hold us to a standard and promote accountability. But they can also be creatively limiting. For actor and executive producer Glen Steele of the film INFINITELY DENSE, who you heard in the intro, he took the shackles off the word expectation and made his art, giving the middle finger to age or any other perceived limitation.INFINITELY DENSE is having its market screening at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 16th, 2026. If you have the ability to go, you should. It's a near-realistic sci-fi look at what happens if a guy unhappy with his life experimented with augmented AI.I'm also joined by writer and director Ace Thor, who met Glen through his mom's acting class. This is an insane story of two people pushing the boundaries of independent film, both through the subject matter of their work and their overall art.And -- Ace Thor & Glen Steele should be in a cop buddy comedy, right? I'd love it, because it would be another opportunity to have them on the podcast.In this episode, Ace, Glen, and I talk about:how they describe the film;the many hats that independent filmmakers have to wear;the crazy story of how they ended up working together and how they got involved in filmmaking;the reality of acting in your 60s;making a scifi film that feels realistic and not having genre as the focus;casting for this film, why Ace watched every single tape, and why Glen kept his hands off the process;Glen's feelings on massive influencers taking over acting -- it's been happening for years in different forms;the process of a market screening at TIFF;should more actors get involved in making their own roles;advice for raising a family while acting and directing;what's next for them.Ace's Indie Filmmaker Highlight: Nicolas RoegMemorable Quotes:" It's more of a story of what happens when we are only in relationship with ourselves.""It's just like no matter what you try and do in my family, if you wanna do something else, it's just not possible."" No one's gonna hire me to be a lead in a movie at this point in my life."" I didn't want the sci-fi to be the focus, right?"" It's hard for the 64-year-old Glenn to tell a 25-year-old what to do because I wouldn't have listened to me when I was 25.Links:INFINITELY DENSE @ TIFFINFINITELY DENSE Website

On Ron's Amazing Stories this week, we're listening a little differently. Our main focus is sound effects and the remarkable people who created them. On The RAS Signal, we explore how sound-effects artists could build an entire world using little more than everyday objects, ingenuity, and a well-placed microphone. Then we head into the Inner Sanctum for a tale involving murder, revenge, thirty pieces of silver, and one very unusual clock. We'll also bring back another old RAS favorite — Q&A with Ron — with listener questions about the changing podcast and how classic science-fiction radio created sounds for things that didn't even exist. In This Episode The RAS Signal: Sound Effects — A look behind the microphone at the artists, equipment, and techniques that helped listeners see with their ears. Inside the Inner Sanctum — We talk about producer Himan Brown, Raymond Edward Johnson, that famous squeaking door, and how commercials became part of the program itself. The Judas Clock — A classic 1945 episode of *Inner Sanctum Mysteries*, presented with its original Lipton Tea commercials intact. Q&A with Ron Returns — Mary and Brandon ask about the direction of the podcast, while Leo takes us back into the world of classic radio sound effects — including spaceships, magnetic tape, electronic circuits... and even a cow. Featured Story The Judas Clock — Inner Sanctum Mysteries (April 17, 1945) Thirty years ago, a man was murdered using a strange clock said to require the thirty pieces of silver paid to Judas Iscariot for his betrayal of Jesus. Now the murdered man's son has returned — and he has plans for The Judas Clock. This episode includes its original commercials. Inner Sanctum often blended its advertising directly into the program, and removing the Lipton Tea spots would take away part of the character and atmosphere of the original broadcast.

On Ron's Amazing Stories this week, things get a little strange. Okay... maybe more than a little. We're bringing back an old RAS favorite, As Read By, with listener Franklin Paul taking us straight into the pages of a 1950s science-fiction pulp magazine. Then, on The RAS Signal, we turn our attention to one of the greatest voices of old-time radio — Agnes Moorehead. And since we're talking about Moorehead, why not hear her in action? We'll finish with a classic episode of Suspense where a simple chain letter sets off a very unfortunate… chain of events. In This Episode As Read By Returns — An old RAS segment is back, featuring stories straight from the pulp magazines.

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we're trying something new. We debut a brand-new segment called "The RAS Signal", where I get behind the microphone and spend a little more time talking about the history, people, and ideas that made old-time radio so remarkable. For our first Signal, we'll look at the writers and hear examples of how their words became pictures in the minds of millions of listeners. That leads us directly to Richard Diamond, Private Detective, created by Blake Edwards and starring Dick Powell. Our story is The Oklahoma Cowboy Murder Case. Diamond is hired to investigate the suspicious death of an expert horseman whose fatal fall may not have been an accident after all. And then there's the music…. What!?!? I wrote some lyrics for Ron's Amazing Stories and wondered what they might sound like as a 1940s-style swing song. It's a Signal, a mystery, and even a song. Like I said, we're trying something new. In This Episode The premiere of The RAS Signal A look at the writers who helped create the golden age of radio Lucille Fletcher, John Meston, Blake Edwards, and the power of writing for sound The debut of Ron's Amazing Stories — Around The Bend A few thoughts on AI, creativity, and turning an idea into music Featured Story The Oklahoma Cowboy Murder Case — September 27, 1950 Richard Diamond is hired by a wealthy Oklahoma man to investigate the death of his brother. The official ruling says he died after falling from his horse, but there's a problem: the victim was an exceptional rider. If it wasn't an accident, Diamond has a murder to solve—and horses aren't exactly his specialty. A New Signal The RAS Signal is something I've wanted to try for a while: a place where we can go beyond simply playing old-time radio and talk about the people, history, craft, and occasional oddities behind it. This first edition is only the beginning, and I'd really like to know what you think.

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we return to one of old-time radio's greatest series, Suspense, for two stories about detectives who have supposedly left the job behind. But retirement is one thing. Letting go is something else entirely. One detective spends two years working on the case that got away. The other misses the days when his name alone meant that no crime was beyond solving. Both men have something to prove... and both are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to prove it. In This Episode Two classic episodes from the legendary CBS radio series *Suspense* A retired detective determined to solve the only case he ever lost Charles Boyer as a once-famous investigator looking for one last case Two very different stories connected by retirement, reputation, and the need to remain relevant A look at what happens when walking away from a career is easier than walking away from the person you used to be Featured Stories Banquo's Chair — June 1, 1943 Sir William Brent, former head of the Criminal Division, retired with an almost perfect record. There was just one case he never solved. For two years, Brent has patiently gathered evidence and prepared an elaborate plan to finally expose the murderer. But when his plan is put into motion, Sir William discovers that he may not be the only one who has been waiting. Vidoc's Final Case — September 29, 1952 Charles Boyer stars as Vidoc, a famous former commissioner whose greatest days appear to be behind him. When a series of robberies baffles the local police, Vidoc gets another opportunity to demonstrate the skills that once made him famous. He calls it his final case... but there is much more going on than anyone realizes.

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we meet Michael Waring, better known as The Falcon. But exactly who was The Falcon? That question turns out to be a little more complicated than you might expect. The character had a tangled history that stretched from novels to movies, radio, and television. Even Michael Waring himself changed considerably during the run of the radio series, evolving from a private detective into an international intelligence agent. Our double feature demonstrates that journey with two stories broadcast nearly seven years apart. In This Episode Meet Michael Waring and discover the surprisingly complicated history of The Falcon. Learn how two different fictional detectives became associated with the Falcon name. Hear Michael Waring during his earlier years as a private detective. Travel overseas with a very different Falcon working for Army Intelligence. Explore how the changing world of the 1940s and 1950s helped reshape the series. Featured Stories Murder Is a Family Affair — November 27, 1945 Michael Waring is still working as a private detective when he and Nancy face a grim situation. A friend has been sentenced to death, and there appears to be nothing Michael can do to save him. Before the sentence is carried out, Michael promises to look after the man's younger brother. Keeping that promise soon draws The Falcon into one of his most difficult cases, involving murder, family loyalty, and the consequences of choices already made. Rolling Stones — August 10, 1952 Nearly seven years later, Michael Waring has left his private detective days behind. Now working for Army Intelligence, The Falcon travels overseas on a mission to locate wanted war criminal Mario Tessely. When a friend is killed, the assignment becomes personal. Michael finds himself caught in an international mystery filled with deception, Cold War intrigue, and hints of Communist activity.

Amazing Stories (2020) Episode 1 The Cellar

Amazing Stories (1985) Season 1 Episode 1 Ghost Train

This week we step into the darkness with two classic adventures from The Shadow, starring the legendary Orson Welles as Lamont Cranston and Agnes Moorehead as the ever-resourceful Margo Lane. When Orson Welles took over the title role in 1937, he was only 22 years old, yet his commanding performance helped define one of radio's greatest heroes. Paired with Agnes Moorehead, whose remarkable talent made every scene come alive, the two created radio magic that still captivates listeners nearly ninety years later. These two stories also showcase something that made The Shadow unique. Being invisible wasn't enough—The Shadow succeeded because he understood how criminals thought. Whether facing a ruthless counterfeiting ring or solving a murder aboard an ocean liner, he always stayed one step ahead. So dim the lights, let your imagination take over, and enjoy an evening of radio at its finest. In This Episode Introduction to The Shadow and the legendary partnership of Orson Welles and Agnes Moorehead. The League of Terror (January 9, 1938) Thoughts on why The Shadow was the perfect hero for radio. Aboard the Steamship Amazon (May 8, 1938) Reflections on imagination, suspense, and why these stories continue to entertain today. Featured Stories The League of Terror Originally aired January 9, 1938- A ruthless counterfeiting gang uses extortion and murder to protect its criminal empire. With the help of the daughter of one of the gang's victims, The Shadow devises an ingenious plan to bring the organization crashing down. Aboard the Steamship Amazon Originally aired May 8, 1938 - A relaxing ocean voyage turns deadly when Randolph Todd is murdered aboard the Steamship Amazon. With Lamont Cranston locked inside his stateroom, only The Shadow can uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.

Pull on your boots and saddle up for another journey into the Old West! This week, we're celebrating one of radio's most beloved heroes with two exciting adventures starring The Lone Ranger. Along the way, we'll encounter mistaken identities, dangerous outlaws, and a villain whose name may sound familiar to longtime listeners. We'll also take a nostalgic look back at the incredible legacy of The Lone Ranger, the impact the series had on generations of children, and share a few personal memories about my brother, whose love for the masked rider made this episode especially meaningful. In This Episode A look back at the remarkable history of The Lone Ranger radio series. Little-known facts about the actors who brought the masked man to life. Memories of my brother's childhood adventures with his Lone Ranger outfit. "The Notorious El Diablo" (March 28, 1956) "The Apache Kid" (March 2, 1938) Which Apache Kid is the more dangerous outlaw—the one from The Lone Ranger or the one from The Cisco Kid? You decide! Featured Stories The Notorious El Diablo Originally Aired: March 28, 1954 - The Lone Ranger goes undercover by impersonating the infamous outlaw El Diablo in hopes of infiltrating a dangerous gang. Unfortunately, there's one problem—someone else is already pretending to be El Diablo! What follows is a fast-paced tale of deception, mistaken identity, and classic western action. The Apache Kid Originally Aired: March 2, 1938 - A notorious outlaw known as the Apache Kid is terrorizing the frontier, and only the Lone Ranger and Tonto stand between him and justice. If the name sounds familiar, that's because we recently encountered another Apache Kid while riding with Cisco. Are they the same villain? Probably not—but this one is every bit as dangerous.

Mike McCarthy and Mike DeFabo drove around Greenfield and Mike wrote a story on their day! McCarthy shared his late brother Joe's story and what Pittsburgh means to him and his family. Mike would go to church, then to his dad's bar, then would watch the Steelers growing up. Mike was surprised to hear that Rudolph will take first-team reps.

The Steelers placed Joey Porter Jr. on the PUP list. Nick thinks they will get a deal done, but the Christian Gonzalez and Devon Witherspoon contract talks are holding it up. This could be a hold in for Porter. Gerry Dulac reported the Steelers don't want to go over $25 million. Nick thinks the number is more like $28 or $29 million.

A veteran Coast Guard captain witnesses an impossible rescue at sea, then finds himself chasing an explanation no naval report could ever record. As another convoy battles through the North Atlantic, he must decide whether to trust what every sailor knows cannot exist. Heroes Die Hard by Leroy Yerxa. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Today's story has one of the most unusual publishing histories we've ever featured. Heroes Die Hard first appeared in the December 1943 issue of Fantastic Adventures magazine—but if you looked at the byline, you wouldn't have seen Leroy Yerxa. Instead, the story was credited to Henry Gade, one of several pseudonyms used by Yerxa during his remarkably productive career. Here's the incredible part. That December 1943 issue contained ten stories… and every single one of them was written by Leroy Yerxa. Some carried his real name, while others appeared under pen names, but the entire issue came from one writer. In all the years we've been exploring vintage science fiction, we've never come across another magazine issue quite like it. Yerxa was one of the most prolific contributors to the Ziff-Davis magazines. His first published story, “Death Rides at Night,” appeared in the August 1942 issue of Amazing Stories when he was just twenty-seven years old. Over the next four years, before his tragic death in 1946 at only thirty years of age, he sold more than seventy stories to Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures, many of them under assumed names. From that December 1943 issue of Fantastic Adventures magazine, written by one man, on page 128, Heroes Die Hard by Leroy Yerxa… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A boastful hunter claims he chased the last living mammoth through a hidden northern valley until only one of them could endure. His proof sounds impossible, but the boots on his feet make disbelief far less comfortable. The Angry Mammoth by Jack London.

What happens when two of radio's greatest comedians stop trying to make us laugh? This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we shine a spotlight on a fascinating side of old-time radio history. Suspense was famous for bringing Hollywood's biggest stars to the microphone, and every so often it convinced legendary comedians to leave their familiar characters behind and step into stories filled with danger, fear, and moral choices. In this special double feature, Fibber McGee and Molly become innocent victims trapped with a desperate killer, while Jack Benny trades his famous penny-pinching jokes for a crime that could cost him everything. It's a side of these beloved performers that many listeners have never heard—and it's absolutely unforgettable. In This Episode Why Suspense loved casting famous comedians in dramatic roles. Jim and Marian Jordan step away from Fibber McGee and Molly for one of the series' most acclaimed performances. Jack Benny proves he could create tension just as easily as laughter. Listener email: Ron answers a question about how AI is—and isn't—used to create the podcast. Two outstanding episodes from one of radio's greatest dramatic series. Featured Stories Backseat Driver Originally Broadcast: February 22, 1951 - Jim and Marian Jordan, forever remembered as Fibber McGee and Molly, deliver an unforgettable dramatic performance as an ordinary couple whose evening drive becomes a terrifying ordeal after a desperate killer forces his way into their car. This highly regarded episode demonstrates just how talented the Jordans were beyond comedy. A Good and Faithful Servant Originally Broadcast: June 2, 1952 - Jack Benny takes on one of the most unusual roles of his career. After thirty years of loyal service to a department store, one man's temptation leads him down a dangerous path. It's a gripping tale made even more memorable by hearing America's favorite comedian in such a serious role.

A pair of reading glasses stopped a military coup in 1783. New England quietly talked about leaving the union in 1814, forty seven years before the South did. These are true stories, and almost nobody remembers them. Is it a coincidence, or is God's hand really in it? In this episode, Lance Wallnau walks through the moments American history books skip over: the Newburgh conspiracy, the Hartford Convention, Andrew Jackson's showdown with South Carolina, Lincoln's calls for national repentance, and FDR's wartime turnaround. Each one came down to a single leader making a single choice, and each one still shapes the country you live in today. In this episode: * The 1783 Newburgh conspiracy Washington stopped without raising his voice * The Hartford Convention of 1814, the secession talk your history class left out * Andrew Jackson's toast that faced down South Carolina's threat to leave the union * Lincoln's 1863 line, "we have forgotten God," and why he called for national days of prayer in the middle of the war * How FDR set aside his own economic playbook to win World War Two * Why every one of these moments hinged on one person's decision, and what that means for the moment we're in right now If God has shown up this many times before, He hasn't stopped now.

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we're heading into the Old West with one of radio's most enduring heroes—The Cisco Kid. From 1942 to 1956, Cisco and his faithful friend Poncho rode across the American Southwest helping the innocent, bringing outlaws to justice, and proving that courage and kindness could go hand in hand. What makes these adventures especially interesting today is that they were considered children's entertainment! Yet these stories are filled with murder, revenge, dangerous outlaws, and plenty of gunfire.

It may be the middle of July, but on this week's episode we're leaving the summer heat behind and heading into the frozen wilderness. Join me for a pair of classic old-time radio adventures where snow, ice, and survival are as much a part of the story as the characters themselves. Our first stop is the legendary series "Escape", where justice is decided far from any courtroom in the icy north during the gold rush. Then we'll travel even farther into the Yukon with Sergeant Preston and his faithful lead dog, King, as they investigate a mysterious icebound ship. So grab a cool drink, settle into your favorite chair, and let these two classic adventures transport you to a much colder place. In This Episode Escape: "Judgment Day at Crippled Deer" (June 24, 1964) - A gold miner stands accused of murder deep in the frozen wilderness. With no judge and no jury, four fellow miners decide his fate. But is justice really being served... or is another crime about to be committed Challenge of the Yukon: "Icebound" (September 22, 1948) - A whaling captain discovers a drifting derelict ship, only to become trapped in the ice himself after a violent storm. Sergeant Preston and King race across the frozen north to uncover the mystery and attempt a daring rescue. Thank you for listening to Ron's Amazing Stories.

Most people assume their fascination with UFOs is something they arrived at on their own. A sighting. A documentary. A feeling the official story never quite added up. Almost nobody considers that the cultural framework making flying saucers feel plausible and worth chasing was largely the product of one man sitting behind a desk in Wisconsin, editing a pulp magazine called Amazing Stories.Raymond Palmer understood that the line between a story and a belief is thinner than anyone wants to admit. When a welder named Richard Shaver began sending letters claiming an ancient subterranean civilization called the Deros was controlling human behavior from beneath the Earth's surface, Palmer didn't file it away. He published it, promoted it, and let it breathe until hundreds of thousands of readers were no longer sure whether they were reading fiction or testimony. By the time Kenneth Arnold's 1947 sighting gave the world the term flying saucer, the audience Palmer spent years cultivating was ready and waiting.Tonight, Dr. Dean Bertram, historian and filmmaker behind the award-winning documentary short The Shaver Mystery, and his filmmaking partner Samantha Krause, Wisconsin native and co-creator of Home Movie Legend Trip, take us down that rabbit hole. Who invented flying saucers? And what does that mean for the disclosure conversations happening right now?Home Movie Legend Trip: https://www.youtube.com/@HomeMovieLegendTripThe Man Who Invented Flying Saucers: https://www.facebook.com/TheManWhoInventedFlyingSaucers

Historian Bill Federer visits again with Watchman on the Wall to inspire us with more Miracles in American History, Amazing Stories of Answered Prayer. Dr. Federer begins this episode by turning the spotlight on the God-honoring American military leaders in World War II, such as Eisenhower, Patton, and MacArthur, as well as the now-famous D-Day Prayer from President FDR. Once again, America was blessed with victory. Dr. Federer closes the program with an eye to the skies with stories of astronauts' unique perspectives on the God of the universe – and the historian's own insights into an infinite God who loves His finite creations so much that He gave them the free will to choose whether they will love Him or themselves for eternity.

We call him the greatest batting practice pitcher of all time—and honestly, we don't think there's much of a debate. Tim and Jeff Kurkjian sit down with Rich Donnelly, a man with some of the greatest baseball stories you'll ever hear. From Barry Bonds to Ted Williams, every story is a treat for baseball fans of all ages. With the All-Star Game right around the corner, it's the perfect time to celebrate Rich's incredible impact on the Home Run Derby. But his legacy goes far beyond batting practice. As one of the game's best third base coaches, his stories about giving signs, waving runners home, and the split-second decisions that define a game are unforgettable. Nomar, Cano, and Tim Kurkjian's basketball ability somehow all become important topics of conversation, making this one of our favorite episodes yet.

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories we present a fascinating double feature from the classic old-time radio series Lights Out. Written by the legendary Arch Oboler, these two stories explore very different worlds but arrive at a similar destination. One tells of humanity's greatest achievement and its greatest failure. The other examines how jealousy and revenge can grow into something truly horrifying. Separated by years and settings, both stories ask the same timeless question: What happens when human ambition outruns human wisdom? Join us as we journey from the Moon to a mad scientist's laboratory in two unforgettable tales from one of radio's most imaginative series. In This Episode: A look at the groundbreaking old-time radio series *Lights Out* The creative genius of writer Arch Oboler Humanity's first trip to the Moon A chilling vision of a world destroyed by war A jealous husband seeks revenge A scientific experiment gone horribly wrong Reflections on the common themes connecting both stories Featured Stories: The Rocket Ship Originally Broadcast: July 28, 1945 A crew returns from mankind's first successful journey to the Moon. Their historic achievement should make them heroes. But when communication with Earth suddenly ceases, they discover that something terrible has happened while they were away. The Little People Originally Broadcast: July 14, 1937 A jealous husband becomes obsessed with revenge and turns to a scientist for help. What follows is one of the most unsettling and memorable stories ever produced on old-time radio. Ron's Thoughts: Although today's stories are darker than our usual fare, they remind us that humanity's greatest struggles often come not from monsters or aliens, but from our own choices. Fortunately, history also reminds us that we are capable of incredible achievements when we choose wisdom over fear. After all, we really did go to the Moon—and when those astronauts came home, the Earth was still here waiting for them.

The Moon has fascinated humanity for thousands of years. Ancient civilizations saw gods, spirits, rabbits, and even a face staring back at them from the night sky. Long before astronauts walked on its dusty surface, the Moon inspired myths, legends, and dreams of exploration. This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we journey back to 1950 and revisit two classic episodes from Dimension X that capture both sides of our fascination with Earth's closest celestial neighbor. In our first story, mysterious disappearances may be connected to an unsettling secret hidden on the Moon. In our second, a determined group of scientists refuses to let setbacks stop humanity's first voyage beyond Earth. Together, these stories remind us that before there were rockets and moon landings, there was imagination. In This Episode Introduction to the Moon, its history, and humanity's fascination with it A look at the groundbreaking science-fiction series Dimension X "The Man In The Moon" (July 14, 1950) Discussion of the legends and folklore surrounding the Man in the Moon "Destination Moon" (June 26, 1950) The connection between the story and the classic 1950 motion picture Robert A. Heinlein's contribution to the screenplay Reflections on Apollo, Artemis, and the future of lunar exploration Featured Stories: The Man In The Moon: People are disappearing without a trace. As authorities struggle to explain the growing mystery, clues begin pointing toward an incredible possibility. Could the answer lie far above the Earth itself? Originally broadcast July 14, 1950. Destination Moon After government funding collapses, a determined group of scientists decides to reach the Moon on their own. Racing against public opposition, legal challenges, and technical difficulties, they launch humanity's first lunar expedition. Originally broadcast June 26, 1950.
