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/
