Cool granbury texas swan

They certainly used a lot of cello back then.

Listening at 2:35 in the afternoon. Ontario, NY

I never knew there were radio show's from the 70's. When i clicked the link I was thinking 1940's os something. Thank you for the radio show!

thanks for the memories

I remember hearing one of these shows on an old radio in my great aunt's house in Pittsburgh. The 1970s was the last decade of the real America.

prolly not ai
thank goodness

I live in the south Florida area, Many of us have cut the cable because their prices are outrageous and they offer nothing interesting and FM radio is atrocious, I'm hearing all the same music that I did growing up in the 80s which I'm fond of but it's the same 2 or 3 songs from the same artists as if they made nothing else, thankfully I find these old throwback stories that used to be on the radio long ago when I was very little, happy to hear them again

2026 and gotta be honest I was rooting for the current World Leaders ship to be shot into the sun before it even came up.

52 years ago, back in 1974. I have my first job. My first girlfriend. My first car. I was working for a Pre--Big Box, retail store. With my first girlfriend who was the manager.

We would close at 10 PM. We would get a bite to eat. Then we would head to the loch Raven reservoir and lovers Lane.

At midnight, the CBS Radio chemistry Theater with EG Marshall. Would come on the air. And me and my girlfriend would sit there. In my 1974 Pinto. Transfixed on the CBS Radio Mystery Theater. It was great!

Here we were in the early 1970.. Getting to experience. What our parents only had themselves. Not that terribly many years ago. Before the age of television. It was incredible! It was like being in the middle of the story. It was fabulous! As I had become a Young Broadcaster myself. And I would spend the next 50 years, broadcasting at the Top. Working for NBC News in Washington DC.

And I will always love and cherish. Those nights in the car. Really enjoying the CBS Radio Mystery Theater with EG Marshall. It was like taking a step back in time. It was awesome!

This was so much part of our American history. This is where it all happened. In the USA. This is where the world began in the 20th century.

Those were the days my friend. We thought they'd never end? Until all my friends started, dropping like flies and dying. Now life isn't as fun anymore at 70. Everyone's dead? Except for me and my monkey.

No monkeys were hurt in the posting of this, comment.

if any of yall are in santa Clarita, southern california it comes on at 99.1FM the ranch at 10 pm every night. never heard a program played twice

Somewhere I have a recording of many radio mystery theaters.

grew up listening to this at night as a kid in the 70’s

I pulled in WBBM Newsradio 78 from Wisconsin back in 1977

How effin wrong were they on the energy prediction? Sounding like Al Gore with those sea level comments.

Suppose there was oil in the moon . Just Suppose.

Sorry but I see CBS and I think no no thanks

Ice station zebra.

In my childhood bedroom I used to dx with my cheap am cube radio. Listening to otr ( old time radio) was like time travel back to the olden days of my father's childhood.

I think I ruined my normal sleep patterns as the nighttime has always been associated with travel, wonder and imagination.

I didn’t expect much at first, but this video turned out to be really engaging.

The shadow knows

Bad audio.

Are you still listening ?

I had to yell, DUN DUN DUUUUN!!!!a few times. This is great, thank you 😊

My wife had a stroke last year, so she took up knitting as physical therapy. I figured I'd learn to knit right along with her, so our evenings are usually spent listening to these great old radio programs while we knit scarves and hats for our grandkids.

Ну что же,спасибо за рассказ,хотя я ни хрена не понял😂

Thanks!

Listening 2026

Has anyone counted how many times they say "may" in this?

35:00 Sounds like some more DemocRAT deeps state shit going on to destroy America....this show damn near predicted the future!!!

Literally the best plot twist of all time!

Garbage propaganda. I didn't know it started back then.

I love this!

Seems like the futuristic portrait in drama is becoming a reality! The fond memories of 1977!

When I was young my grandfather used to put this on at his hunting cabin . We would stay at the cabin for 4 days and nights then we would listen to these before sleep

Growing up in the 70s we had one of those big stereo consoles with huge speakers on each end and you lifted the top up where the record player and radio were. My brother and I would come down to the living room in our pajamas sit by the speakers and listen to these old timey mystery radio shows. The one I remember the most was where the killer tomato plants would grow on you while you slept 😲

thank you for uploading, this is great

this back in the day at night, on a windy day, maybe with a dim light around the radio would have been so awesome, especially as a kid

Ha! A day away from 2026 and trying to escape the news of Poland, Estonia, and Lithuania protecting their borders vs Russia; China firing missiles over Taiwan; US falling apart. Too ironic

Good guess

Oh my god EG Marshal, mystery theater. Look it was different in the early seventies , right after the tumultuous sixty’s. Unless you were a young person then you would not understand how different things were, but by listening to this you might get an idea. People would be in there vw bug or at home listening to mystery theater. Priceless.
