This week features another episode of Suspense from our Listener Library! Mark recommended we check out “Pigeon in the Cage,” starring Lloyd Bridges as a wallpaper hanger who finds himself trapped in a house where a murder plot is underway. Will the killers find him before he can escape? Can he keep his wits about him in the worst of situations? How did he memorize all those different wallpapers? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

Great observations as usual, Mr. Potts. You should really be hosting this podcast! While I enjoyed the story more than you, I whole-heartedly agree that second-person William Conrad narration makes everything better.

Holy Moley, did this story keep me in suspense!
So yes – timeless classic.
