RAS #649 - Lights Out Triple Feature

Ron's Amazing Stories

Welcome to Ron's Amazing Stories, a podcast where we explore the golden age of radio and its most popular shows. Today, we're taking a trip down memory lane with Lights Out, one of the earliest and most influential horror programs in radio history. Join us as we listen to three of the most thought-provoking episodes from Lights Out, including:

Chicken Heart: What happens when science goes amok and the world hangs in the balance? This is the infamous classic story that aired on March 10, 1937.

The Word: This is a telling of the story of Adam and Eve not like anything you have heard before. It first aired on September 14, 1943.

The Day The Sun Exploded: While the title of the story gives away the ending. Getting there is amazing. This one first aired on September 1, 1945

All of these stories were written and directed by the brilliant Arch Oboler, and will transport you back to a time when radio was king and the airwaves were filled with tales of terror and suspense. So sit back, relax, and let the haunting sounds of Lights Out take you on a journey into the unknown.
