(25:56) After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, one of the scarcities in the United States was beef. In this very funny episode of Fibber McGee and Molly (from 1942), the McGees are just about to sit down and indulge in a rarity: pot roast. Put your feet up, relax and have your stomach rumble along with Fibber.

(24:24) This strangely-named episode of Quiet Please probably holds the rank of the ‘creepiest OTR episode ever’. Without giving away too much, this is a story about an oil derrick worker who finds something very unusual. The show’s ending is quite unexpected and will blow you away. All of this (and Jimbo’s intro) in less than 25 quick minutes. You will enjoy this one. I’ll even bet you will want to share it with someone as well.

(30:31) Yet another edition of Saved From Oblivion! I try and bring you the best – or most unusual – old radio I can find and present it to you in an efficient way.
In this episode of Suspense (1957), a new prisoner gets into a game of dominoes, where the stakes are peanut brittle candy. It may sound sound like a lot of innocent fun, but trust me, it isn’t.
