"Suspense" was a radio drama series that captivated audiences from 1940 through 1962 during the Golden Age of Radio. Often subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills," this program was a shining example of suspense thriller entertainment. It specialized in delivering heart-pounding stories, typically featuring some of the leading Hollywood actors of its era. With an impressive total of approximately 945 episodes aired over its lengthy run, "Suspense" remains an enduring classic, with over 900 episodes still in existence. "Suspense" was a dynamic series that evolved through several significant phases, each marked by distinct hosts, sponsors, and director/producers. Despite these changes, the show maintained a core set of formulaic plot devices that kept its audience consistently engaged. The show's hallmark elements included: Ordinary Protagonists in Extraordinary Situations: The typical protagonist of a "Suspense" episode was an everyday person who found themselves abruptly thrust into a perilous, bizarre, or highly suspenseful situation. This relatable quality made it easy for listeners to connect with the characters. Withheld Solutions: The show was known for building tension by withholding the resolution of the story until the very last possible moment. This strategy ensured that listeners remained on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the outcome. Moral Consequences: "Suspense" often featured stories where evildoers or wrongdoers faced justice in the end. This moral aspect added a layer of satisfaction for the audience, as justice was typically served. The combination of these elements, along with the skillful use of sound effects and music, made "Suspense" a thrilling and unforgettable radio program. It's not surprising that it continues to be celebrated for its contributions to the world of suspenseful storytelling in the audio medium. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dwight-allen0/support

The Campbell Playhouse was a sponsored continuation of the Mercury Theater on the Air, a direct result of the instant publicity from the War of the Worlds panic. The switch occurred on December 9, 1938. In spite of using the same creative staff, the show had a different flavor under sponsorship, partially attributed to a guest star policy in place, which relegated the rest of the Mercury Players to supporting cast for Orson Welles and the Hollywood guest of the week. There was a growing schism between Welles, still reaping the rewards of his Halloween night notoriety, and his collaborator John Houseman, still in the producer's chair but feeling more like an employee than a partner. The writer, as during the unsponsored run, was Howard Koch.THIS EPISODE:Andrew Manson, a young, enthusiastic doctor takes his first job in a Welsh mining town, and begins to wonder at the persistent cough many of the miners have.
