As we head into August, we’re listening to the Suspense adaptation of W.F. Harvey’s story, “August Heat”! Ronald Colman stars as an illustrator who inexplicably starts drawing a man on trial. It’s a man the artist has never seen before. Caught up in a strange sense of foreboding, the artist wanders out into the oppressive heat to discover the bizarre fate that awaits him. What is the meaning of this drawing? What madness does this summer heat inspire? What hilarious TikTok content are we considering? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

Another good horror/crime story that takes place in oppressively hot weather is “Shopping for Death”/”Touched with Fire” by Ray Bradbury. It was adapted for Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Ray Bradbury Theater but unfortunately not for old time radio.
Many good points are made about the story August Heat here, but it’s sad to hear Joshua’s description and glib dismissal of the book referenced in the episode, a book he declares he’s never actually read.
