Lights Out, Everybody: Mystery & Horror in the Golden Age of Radio

In honor of radio's recent 100th anniversary, this program examines the medium's "Golden Age," when radio was a theater of the mind, combining words and sounds in such a way that listeners could create "pictures" with the power of their imaginations. Included are sound clips from some celebrated mystery and horror programs of the era designed to give a chill to listeners of all ages. Listeners will emerge with a better understanding of how radio went from being a novelty to being a necessity and get a good old-fashioned scare at the same time.
