Zero Hour - The Complete Series (130 Episodes) of the 1970s Radio Show
The upload contains the entire 130 episode run of the radio how, Zero Hour, which aired in 1973-1974 during the attempted radio revival. Rod Serling hosted this dramatic anthology series, which focused on stories of mystery, adventure and suspense. The first 65 episodes were 13 5-part stories, while the final 65 episodes were each 30-minute individual programs. The dates, episode numbers and titles are believed to be correct based on available information, but any corrections are welcome. Disclaimer: By uploading these files, I make no claim to ownership or copyright. These recordings have been acquired from publicly available sources on the Internet, and my goal has been to put together a collection of every available episode where possible. I will add to these collections if I discover new episodes or if any new episodes become available. Additionally, while I tried to put together a collection that contains the best version of each episode that I could, there may be better copies of some recordings available from collectors and dealers, and I encourage you to reach out to them if you are so inclined. We OTR enthusiasts owe a huge debt to those who have worked tirelessly to discover, acquire and preserve these recordings. My role here has been to organize the files I have, verify the dates, episode numbers and titles as best I could from available sources, and correct and rename the files accordingly. My goal is to ensure these excellent artistic expressions of our past are preserved for this and all future generations, and I hope that by uploading all of my files here in a uniform and organized system, they will be easily accessible for all.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

"Queen of Death"-Pt. 3 and Pt. 4 Are Duplicate
epaddon
Apparently no one has noticed before that in "Queen of Death" the last of the serialized stories, Pt. 4 is the same episode as Pt. 3 even though it appears to have been a different recording. I wonder if the radio station at the time played the wrong episode which has been known to happen (I have an instance of a CBS Radio Mystery Theater where WOR played the wrong episode one night). So right now, absent another recording turning up, we're missing the true Part 4 of this one.
Name change, correct order

Hello again jfyuga. 80 Zero Hour 1974-05-17(80) "The Strange Odyssey Of Sally Mitchell" should be Sandy Mitchell. 83 Zero Hour 1974-05-22 (83) "Why Is Ted Marcosi Driving Aunt Sally Insane" is "There's a Man in 211". 84 Zero Hour 1974-05-23 (84) "There's a Man in 211" is "Why Is Ted Marcosi Driving Aunt Sally Insane". Thank you again, adam256. Rod Serling is quite sterling!

Thanks for making these available. As of Septeber 2022 there is an error in the order of The Blessing Way. The one listed as Chapter 3 is Chapter 1, and the one listed as Chapter 4 is Chapter 2 (so the one ones listed as 1 and 2 are really 3 and 4).
Mislabeled and missing episode.

I love this whole Series. Great quality. But, "A Die in the Country, Ch02 and Ch03 are the same recording. Would like to know which one is identified correctly and also get the one that is missing. Thanks for making these available to us.
Thank you, Adam256

I appreciate you noting the corrections. I have fixed the typo and the 5 Someone's Death episodes to put them in the correct order. Thanks!

Ack, Chapter 2 & 3 aren't the same, it's 3 & 4. Looks like it's the same way on other sites too.
Fantastic achievement
