The creme de la creme of the genre. How great to hear these in full fidelity, especially considering how much they have been circulated in copies of copies for decades. Thank you for putting these out there!!!

SoundGenius On Apple · Aug 2026

A good story is balm for the soul when the going gets tough. And nowadays, it’s so gratifying to get a salve like these pieces of Mystery Theatre. Quite frankly, I wish all podcasts had this level of writing, acting and all around production. I hope we see more episodes!

What a magical little time capsule. I know they’re from the 70s, but they really have a golden age of Radio feel to them, which I know was the intention. If you like old movies and nostalgia, you’ll like these. I do.
