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.

The Summer of Rollin continues...but this time, Jean takes a detour.Episode 576 moves away from vampires and into two radically different films from Rollin's early career: Schoolgirl Hitchhikers (1972) and The Iron Rose (1973).One is a bizarre softcore comedy packed with nudity, slapstick, sexual liberation and some decidedly uncomfortable attitudes towards women. The other is, in my humble opinion, one of Jean Rollin's greatest achievements — a haunting, beautiful descent into dream logic, death and romantic nightmare.First up is Schoolgirl Hitchhikers, released under the pseudonym Michel Gentil. Trading gothic castles for an isolated rural house, Rollin embraces softcore cinema with a strange mix of nudity, slapstick and increasingly uncomfortable sexual politics.It's perhaps the hardest film to reconcile with the poetic filmmaker seen elsewhere in his work. Freedom, sexuality and liberation collide awkwardly with sexual violence, questionable agency and moments of outright misogyny.Yet even here, Rollin's fingerprints remain: isolation, decaying locations, sexuality, fantasy and characters cut adrift from reality.Then comes The Iron Rose. And everything changes.Two characters. Minimal dialogue. A cemetery that slowly transforms into an impossible labyrinth.What begins as gothic romance becomes something far stranger as passion gives way to fear, mistrust and disorientation. Are the paths changing? Are they losing their minds? Or were they ever supposed to escape?The Iron Rose is Rollin at his most confident and hypnotic. Powered less by plot than atmosphere, emotion and dream logic, reality dissolves as the cemetery becomes its own beautiful, terrifying and inescapable world.We'll explore:Rollin's strange sidestep into softcore cinema as Michel GentNudity, sexual liberation & uncomfortable misogynyFemale agency and the collision of sex, fantasy & absurdityWhy Rollin's signature obsessions remain without vampiresThe beauty and isolation of The Iron RoseDream logic and the cemetery as nightmare labyrinthFrançoise Pascal's remarkable performanceGothic romance, sex, death & the impossibility of escapeRollin's visual poetry, cinematography & haunting musicWhy The Iron Rose may be the definitive Rollin movieThis episode takes us from one of Rollin's strangest diversions to one of his most perfectly realised visions.Schoolgirl Hitchhikers shows a filmmaker chasing another market, but The Iron Rose reminds us exactly why Jean Rollin matters.By 1973, he isn't simply experimenting with style.He has mastered his own. Beautiful. Isolated. Erotic. Melancholic. Dreamlike.And utterly impossible to escape.So step inside the cemetery, follow the paths, and whatever you do...Try not to get lost.The Summer of Rollin continues...The following texts and documentaries were used in this series:* Lost Girls: The Phantasmagorical Cinema of Jean Rollin - Samm Deighan* Orchestrator of Storms: The Fantastique World of Jean Rollin (2022) - Kat Ellinger and Dima Ballin* Indicator 4KUHD Releases of Girls without Shame & The Iron Rose - Street date May 2025.The grading follows the Netflix rating style of 1 = Hated It, 2 = Didn't Like It, 3 = Liked It, 4 = Really Liked It & 5 = Loved ItGirls without Shame:Duncan: 2.5The Iron Rose:Duncan: 5Our new RSS Feed: ⁠https://anchor.fm/s/13ba6ef0/podcast/rss⁠Check out the show on ⁠Anchor⁠, ⁠iTunes⁠, ⁠TuneIn⁠ & on ⁠Stitcher Radio⁠.Please leave us feedback on ⁠iTunes⁠, podcastunderthestairs@gmail.com and follow us on ⁠Facebook⁠.Timecode For Episode 576:00:00:00 - Intro 00:03:51 - Girls without Shame00:23:15 - The Iron Rose00:38:43 - The Indicator 4KUHD's 00:43:22 - Closing the Show

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.

The Summer of Rollin continues...and Jean Rollin is starting to become Jean Rollin.In Episode 575, we journey into The Shiver of the Vampires (1971) and Requiem for a Vampire (1971), two films that show Rollin evolving from an experimental filmmaker finding his voice into an auteur who has seemingly discovered exactly what kind of cinema he wants to make.With The Shiver of the Vampires, Rollin pushes further into his fascination with nudity, sexual liberation, desire and the female form, while surrounding it all with the crumbling castles, deserted landscapes, gothic imagery and dreamlike atmosphere that were rapidly becoming his trademark.But beneath the naked bodies and vampire mythology is something far more interesting: isolation.Rollin's characters often seem detached from the real world, wandering through beautiful spaces that feel simultaneously romantic, threatening and completely unreal. His films aren't simply stories happening in strange locations, the locations themselves become part of the story.Then comes Requiem for a Vampire. And Rollin basically decides that dialogue is optional.For almost 40 minutes, the film barely speaks a word, instead allowing imagery, music, movement and atmosphere to carry the narrative. It's a bold, egotistical and utterly fascinating decision, one that could have collapsed into pretension but instead becomes one of the clearest demonstrations of Rollin's confidence as a filmmaker.We'll explore how Requiem strips away conventional storytelling and replaces it with something closer to a cinematic dream, a film where logic takes a back seat to mood, composition, sexuality, fantasy and the hypnotic power of the image.Along the way we'll explore:The evolution of Rollin's vampire mythology.Nudity, eroticism and sexual liberation in his cinema.The beauty and isolation of his locations.Rollin's growing obsession with dream logic over conventional narrative.The audacity of almost 40 minutes without dialogue.How these films cement the visual and thematic DNA of a Rollin movie.What makes his cinema so instantly recognisable, and so difficult to imitate.By this point, Rollin isn't simply making vampire movies. He's creating Rollin movies.Beautiful, bizarre, erotic, melancholic, surreal and often completely unconcerned with whether the audience knows exactly what the hell is going on.So once again, pour the wine, head for the nearest crumbling castle and prepare to lose yourself in the strange, seductive world of Jean Rollin.The Summer of Rollin continues...The following texts and documentaries were used in this series:Lost Girls: The Phantasmagorical Cinema of Jean Rollin - Samm DeighanOrchestrator of Storms: The Fantastique World of Jean Rollin (2022) - Kat Ellinger and Dima BallinIndicator 4KUHD Releases of both The Rape of the Vampire & The Nude Vampire - Street date June 2023.The grading follows the Netflix rating style of 1 = Hated It, 2 = Didn't Like It, 3 = Liked It, 4 = Really Liked It & 5 = Loved ItShiver of the Vampires:Duncan: 4.5Requiem for a Vampire:Duncan: 5Our new RSS Feed: ⁠https://anchor.fm/s/13ba6ef0/podcast/rss⁠Check out the show on ⁠Anchor⁠, ⁠iTunes⁠, ⁠TuneIn⁠ & on ⁠Stitcher Radio⁠.Please leave us feedback on ⁠iTunes⁠, podcastunderthestairs@gmail.com and follow us on ⁠Facebook⁠.Timecode For Episode 575:00:00:00 - Intro 00:03:44 - Shiver of the Vampires00:14:18 - Requiem for a Vampire00:26:54 - The Indicator 4KUHD's 00:32:14 - Closing the Show

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.

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.

The summer begins...and with it, a journey into one of the most singular, poetic and uncompromising voices in horror cinema.Welcome to The Summer of Rollin, a brand-new multi-part retrospective celebrating the dreamlike, surreal and unmistakably gothic films of French auteur Jean Rollin, using the stunning 4K UHD restorations from Indicator as our guide through his extraordinary filmography.In this opening chapter we travel back to where it all began with The Rape of the Vampire (1968) and The Nude Vampire (1970)...two films that announced the arrival of a filmmaker unlike anyone else working in horror.Before there were sprawling cemeteries by the sea, melancholic vampire sisters wandering deserted beaches and haunting visions that blurred the lines between fantasy and reality, there was a young filmmaker with almost no money, enormous ambition and a determination to create horror that looked and felt like poetry.We'll explore the remarkable story behind The Rape of the Vampire, a production born almost by accident. Originally conceived as a short film before unexpectedly expanding into a feature, its troubled production forced Rollin to think on his feet, embrace experimentation and create something that felt unlike any vampire film audiences had seen before. Released during the political and cultural upheaval of May 1968, the film scandalised audiences, baffled critics and quietly introduced many of the visual obsessions that would define Rollin's entire career.Then, just two years later, we'll see how Rollin returned with The Nude Vampire, his first colour feature and a giant leap forward in confidence. Mixing masked cults, pulp serials, secret societies and his growing fascination with dream logic, the film reveals a filmmaker who had already refined his unique cinematic language while refusing to compromise his wonderfully eccentric vision.Along the way we'll discuss:The unlikely birth of Jean Rollin's story telling directing career.How an accidental feature film launched one of horror's most distinctive auteurs.The evolution of his vampire mythology between his first two features.Why conventional storytelling was never his priority.The visual motifs that would become signatures throughout his career. The beautiful new Indicator 4K UHD restorations and the wealth of historical context found within their superb special features.Whether you're a lifelong admirer of Jean Rollin or stepping into his haunting world for the very first time, this series aims to celebrate a filmmaker who followed his own strange path through cinema, creating films that are as hypnotic, romantic and mysterious today as they were over fifty years ago.So pour yourself a glass of red wine, light a candle, listen for the crashing waves and prepare to spend your summer wandering forgotten castles, lonely cemeteries and moonlit beaches...The Summer of Rollin has begun.The following texts and documentaries were used in this series:Lost Girls: The Phantasmagorical Cinema of Jean Rollin - Samm DeighanOrchestrator of Storms: The Fantastique World of Jean Rollin (2022) - Kat Ellinger and Dima BallinIndicator 4KUHD Releases of both The Rape of the Vampire & The Nude Vampire - Street date June 2023.The grading follows the Netflix rating style of 1 = Hated It, 2 = Didn't Like It, 3 = Liked It, 4 = Really Liked It & 5 = Loved ItThe Rape of the Vampire:Duncan: 4The Nude Vampire:Duncan: 4.5Our new RSS Feed: ⁠https://anchor.fm/s/13ba6ef0/podcast/rss⁠Check out the show on ⁠Anchor⁠, ⁠iTunes⁠, ⁠TuneIn⁠ & on ⁠Stitcher Radio⁠.Please leave us feedback on ⁠iTunes⁠, podcastunderthestairs@gmail.com and follow us on ⁠Facebook⁠.TIMECODE FOR EPISODE 574:00:00:00 - Intro 00:06:25 - The Rape of the Vampire00:22:05 - The Nude Vampire00:32:57 - The Indicator 4KUHD's00:37:18 - Closing the Show

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's a fascinating reminder of how much storytelling—and what we consider appropriate for young audiences—has changed over the years. This week we present two exciting adventures from the golden age of radio. In This Episode A look at the history of The Cisco Kid radio series. The surprising origins of Cisco in O. Henry's 1907 short story The Caballero's Way. How radio transformed a ruthless outlaw into a legendary Western hero. "Cisco Meets the Apache Kid" (January 8, 1953) "The Meanest Man in Arizona" (July 24, 1952) Why these action-packed Westerns were considered family entertainment in the 1950s. The lasting legacy of Cisco and his lovable sidekick, Poncho. Featured Stories Cisco Meets the Apache Kid (1/8/1953) - Cisco and Poncho are asked to track down one of the most feared killers in the Southwest. As they follow a bloody trail across Arizona, they discover that the truth may be even more dangerous than the legend of the Apache Kid. The Meanest Man in Arizona (7/24/1952) - The title only hints at what's to come. What begins as a confrontation with a notorious bully quickly unfolds into a gripping tale of revenge, cattle rustling, murder, and frontier justice.

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.

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.

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we spend some time with one of radio's greatest insurance investigators, Johnny Dollar. Whether he's traveling across the Pacific to investigate a suspicious fire or heading into the Texas oil fields to uncover the truth behind a string of deadly insurance claims, one thing remains constant: trouble follows Johnny wherever he goes. Featuring two classic episodes from *Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar*, this double feature showcases the danger, mystery, and sharp detective work that made the series one of old-time radio's most enduring successes. In This Episode The Trans-Pacific Import Export Company, South China Branch Matter (August 24, 1950) - Johnny travels overseas to investigate a fire at an export company. What begins as a routine insurance claim soon leads to murder and a mystery far more dangerous than a burned-out building.

About Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar Debuting in 1948, *Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar* followed the adventures of freelance insurance investigator Johnny Dollar.

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.

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 this episode, Joe Crane sits down with Anna Redmond, the Founder and CEO of Braav, to discuss her journey from Harvard and venture capital into the high-stakes world of corporate security and digital innovation. Through her work with Braav, Anna discovered the deep significance of the challenge coin tradition and realized that the 30 million Americans who own them often lack a way to preserve the oral histories they represent. To solve this, she created AllCoin, a platform that builds "digital twins" on the blockchain to ensure these legacies are immutable and accessible for future generations. Anna shares how she leveraged modern AI tools like Airtable's Hyper-Agent to build her business. Plus, listeners who mention the Veteran On the Move podcast can jump to the front of the AllCoin waiting list at allcoin.braav.co.   About Our Guest Anna Redmond is the Founder and CEO of Braav, where she deploys experienced Chief Security Officers into organizations that need to get serious about safety and riskfast. Her path into security was unconventional; she started in venture capital and studied at Harvard before shifting into the security world after recognizing how unprepared most companies are for real-world threats. She is now focused on modernizing challenge coins by building the first platform that gives these legacy symbols a digital twinpreserving not just the coin itself, but the story behind it. Her goal is to transform challenge coins from private artifacts into tools for identity, community, recognition, and eventually access and fundraising.   About Our Sponsors Navy Federal Credit Union   Navy Federal Credit Union is here to help you dominate your debt with the Platinum Card.

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. From eerie roadside encounters to signals sent into the vast unknown, tonight's stories remind us that sometimes the most frightening things are the ones we can't quite explain. 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.

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.

In this episode, we sit down with Kaedy Molley, a 10-year Navy Veteran and former Arabic cryptologic linguist, to discuss her powerful transition from the Navy to higher education. After a decade of service, Kaedy utilized the Warrior-Scholar Project (WSP) to bridge the gap between military life and elite academia—a journey that eventually led her from the world of private equity back to a mission-driven career in social impact. Kaedy shares why enlisted veterans must be proactive in seeking transition resources early, how the WSP “college readiness boot camp” dismantles imposter syndrome at top-tier host institutions, and her current work as the Manager of Individual Philanthropy for WSP, where she helps empower the next generation of veterans to find their community and confidence in higher education. Episode Resources: Warrior-Scholar Project   About Our Guest Kaedy Molley served 10 years in the U.S. Navy as an Arabic cryptologic linguist and Aircrewman, deploying to Afghanistan and the Mediterranean before becoming a training instructor at Great Lakes Naval Station. She attended the WSP college readiness boot camp at Syracuse University in 2017, returned as a Warrior-Scholar Project alumni fellow in 2020, and has been an active member of the alumni community and a self-described WSP fangirl ever since. Kaedy graduated from the University of Chicago in 2023 with a degree in Comparative Human Development and worked in private equity before pivoting to social impact. She now serves as the Manager of Individual Philanthropy for the Warrior-Scholar Project.
