Reviews

I believe these shows are from Hugh Carlson.


(5 stars)

I believe these shows are from Hugh Carlson and his friends from his AFRS Army service in Germany. I like the title Never Follow A Banjo Act. :) This was done in 1954 with Ethel Merman and later in 1958 with singer Margaret Whiting. Good quality audio here.

(5 stars)

The budget at Suspense radio is beginning to shrink here in '54, but Elliott Lewis is still producing some really good stories. These episodes are a "must listen."
