Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

We continue with Monsters on the Air, our series of monster-themed episodes to celebrate the Halloween season! Our third installment features “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” from NBC Presents: Short Story! This adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s iconic novella features Victorian chemist Henry Jekyll, whose experiments transform him into a murderous new persona. Soon the compulsion to return to this dark side leads to blood in the streets and chaos in Jekyll’s own home. How similar is this radio version to the original? What metaphors and themes does this adaptation choose for its focus? What popular band from the 80s will be inevitably referenced in the post-episode discussion? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

Does “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” stand the test of time?

“Passer-byers” isn’t actually a word. The term is Passerby (singular) and Passersby (plural). I mainly bring this up because yours is the *second* podcast this week I’ve heard use that non-word. So this is actually my bottled-up rage here. Sorry!
