Gelesen von E. G. Marshall

(4.4 Sterne; 27 Bewertungen)

The CBS Radio Mystery Theater heralded the revival of the Golden Age of Radio. With the fine actor E. G. Marshall as the host, the series brought back those great days of mystery, suspense, drama, and a touch of history.

Initially airing daily, the series transitioned to five times a week after six years. Mr. Marshall hosted the series until its final year when Tammy Grimes took over on February 1, 1982. The cast featured long-time radio personalities alongside TV and movie actors, with most storylines newly written and produced, along with adaptations from renowned authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The series concluded in early December 1982, with re-runs filling the remainder of the year.


This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

This stuff is so classic, so cool. I grew up listening to these programs and very much appreciate that they are available here. E.G. Marshall's voice and delivery is just amazing.

(4 Sterne)

This program aired when I was starting out in grade school in the mid 70's through early 80's. There was a website in the late 90's at a university (the name escapes me) that had almost the entire collection. I have found several places on the web that have the full collection, but with 1399 episodes, it can be daunting to download them all. If you research how to download torrents, you can get all the episodes at http://thepiratebay.org/user/CBSRMT/0/3. This site only contains the torrent info. You can get a program like uTorrent for free, add these torrent files to uTorrent, then the program will go out and download the episodes while you can go and do other things. After about a week, I'll have just about the entire series. I've spot checked the sound quality and so far everything is good to excellent.
