Today we continue on our journey with guest Keith Scott, as he presents some of the great work of famous cartoon voices who appeared regularly on its sister medium, radio. Today we are listening to the popular show, Fibber McGee and Molly, and this is the birth of a famous "voice" that went on to be Droopy Dog and "Smee" in Walt Disney's Peter Pan.

Today we are beginning a 7-week venture into the pulp radio writing of Carlton E. Morse. Considered one of the most unique writers of imaginative adventure radio serials of the golden age, "The Thing That Cries In the Night" is the first story in chapters (originally broadcast in 15 episodes) that we have presented on this podcast. Part mystery, part thriller, we join Jack, "Doc", and Reggie for the first two installments of their second radio adventure.

The CBS Radio Workshop was a series that was truly "experimental" radio. Existing purely for the indulgence of creative radio people at CBS, the Workshop took risks delving into the odd, with stories that often did not comply with tried-and-true narrative structures. Keith Scott brings us such a story on the fringe, starring John Dehner as Edgar Alan Poe, and Daws Butler as Toby Dammit.
The recording of Daws Butler is used with the kind permission of Brian Kistler. His tribute to Daws Butler: https://waltertetley.com/daws-butler-the-nicest-kindest-man-of-all/

This is the final week of our series of 10 great radio tales to listen to in the dark. Following this theme, this is the perfect quiet story of a little ghostly voice that visits in the dark when a man plays Ravel's "Pavane For A Dead Princess." From the creative pen of Writer/Director Wyllis Cooper, this grim horror classic transcends the genre.
