Reviews

Well Worth a Listen

(4 stars)

CMATTRUN

This collection contains half hour mysteries and adventure radio plays. All are very well produced, several with movie star cast members. On some episodes the quality a little garbled, but not so bad that you can't understand the cast. These are great for short trips in the car, or for a walk around the block when you're not in the mood for music or talk radio.

The Fall of the House of Usher

(5 stars)

Ampico

I love Escape, but The Fall of the House of Usher is totally unusable. I don't see how it got included with the severe speed issue.

Casting the Runes/Pollock and The Porrah Man

(5 stars)

Traspe

Two of my favorite OTR shows. Casting the Runes is great. You might remember the movie based on the same story - "Curse of the Demon" starring Dana Andrews. That's good too.

Awesome series!

if you're tired of the everyday grind, try Leningen vs the Ants, The Young Man and the Cream Tarts (based on Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Suicide Club"), or Evening Primrose All three are lovely!
