On Ron's Amazing Stories! Imagine standing at the mythical "Lake of Wisdom," only to find that even shallow waters can reflect the sky. This episode is a quirky dive into unexpected connections, featuring two stories that seem worlds apart—but are they really? Take on Ron's challenge: Can you figure out the twisted thread tying them together? Story 1: Like Man, Somebody Dig Me Series: Suspense Aired: May 25, 1958 Synopsis: A tale straight from the Beatnik era—cool cats, existential dread, and a man determined to exhaust everyone he meets. It's a wild ride through history's most dramatically unimpressed generation. Story 2: The Outer Limit Series: X Minus One Aired: November 11, 1955 Synopsis: Fasten your seatbelts for a leap into the "future"—1965, that is—where experimental rocket tests set the stage for humanity's triumphs and cautionary tales. Spoiler: Things don't go exactly as planned. Did you spot the connection between these two tales? Was it delusion, inspiration, or something more? Share your thoughts—we'd love to hear from you.

On Ron's Amazing Stories this week we explore one of radio's most legendary figures: William Conrad. We will uncover the remarkable career of a man whose resonant baritone and versatile talent left an indelible mark on the golden age of radio. Born John William Cann Jr. in 1920, Conrad's journey into the world of radio began in the late 1930s. His compelling voice quickly captured attention showcasing his range across numerous genres. From his iconic role as Marshal Matt Dillon in "Gunsmoke" to his chilling performances in "Suspense" and "The CBS Radio Workshop," Conrad's contributions were vast and influential. We'll listen to two of his most memorable performances, including "Sundown," which he wrote and directed, and "The Wax Works," a testament to his ability to captivate audiences single-handedly. Join us as we celebrate William Conrad's legacy, exploring the depth of his talent and the enduring impact of his work on both radio and television.

abVoices presents: Bat-Supe! Old Time Radio's “Adventures of Superman” featuring Superman and the Dynamic Duo! Having uncharacteristically taken a long nap, Clark Kent was awakened to a phone call from Bruce Wayne informing him of another bank robbery 50 minutes away in Groveton. Wasting no more time, Superman and Batman flew to the scene to learn what happened. A pair of eyewitnesses tell their story, but what they have to say isn't exactly helpful. Will Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne be able to unravel it all before the next robbery? Plus, in today's Important Message, Billy shows us just how challenging the Shell Game is!

On Ron's Amazing Stories last week, we delighted in two Western tales featuring the legendary Jimmy Stewart. But today, we're shifting gears to showcase a different side of this versatile actor. While many remember Stewart for his iconic roles in Westerns, his talents stretched far beyond, gracing dramas, spy thrillers, suspense films, and even a unique role involving conversations with an imaginary six-foot rabbit in "Harvey"—a comedy with surprisingly profound themes. Comedy from the golden age of radio isn't something we've often explored on this podcast. Truth be told, humor from that era can feel a bit dated. However, today's feature, "The Jackpot," defies that trend. This 1950 comedy film, directed by Walter Lang and starring Jimmy Stewart alongside Barbara Hale, was inspired by a real-life event where James P. Caffrey of Rhode Island won $24,000 worth of merchandise on the CBS radio quiz show, "Sing It Again." Imagine the chaos of winning a ton of raw beef without owning a freezer! While the film has faded from the limelight, preserved only in the 20th Century Fox Cinema Archives since 2012, we're bringing its radio adaptation to your ears today. Originally broadcast on NBC's Screen Directors Playhouse, Stewart reprises his role with Margaret Truman making her radio debut as his wife, Amy. Get ready for a delightful comedic gem, ”The Jackpot," aired originally on April 26, 1951. Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at .
