THE Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society PRESENTS “WEIRD ROMANCE”!
In honor of Valentine’s Day, The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society presents a double-feature of weird romance, performed in the style of an old-time radio broadcast, complete with vintage commercials and live sound effects.
“The Diamond as Big as the Ritz” from Escape: The story of a young man who visits a wealthy classmate and becomes romantically entangled with his strange and beautiful sister. But what is the terrible secret of the family’s wealth? And how far will they go to protect it? Escape first broadcast their adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s infamous satire of Gilded Age wealth June, 23rd, 1947.
“Evening Primrose” from Escape: A poet takes refuge in a department store and falls in love with a woman trapped in a secret society of cosmopolitan outcasts. This darkly comic tale was adapted from the 1940 short story by John Collier and first aired on CBS radio November 5th, 1947.
PREVIOUS PRAISE FOR THE MYSTERIOUS OLD RADIO LISTENING SOCIETY:
“Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster have this down cold — not just the technical aspect, but the tone… Chilling as it might be to experience these tales (complete with old-school ads) alone in the dark, it’s much more fun to experience them with a crowd.” –City Pages
“An artisanal, old-school way of making entertainment… The fun is in watching these fine actors work almost exclusively with their voices … and to see them create a sepia-toned world with handmade sound effects.” – Pioneer Press
“This show is an entertaining and creepy homage to an era gone by, that of the radio drama. The creators of this show have a podcast of the same name… and their love for and knowledge of the genre is evident… There’s a reason these radio horror shows were so popular, and happily they continue to exist in some form today thanks to Ghoulish Delights.” –Cherry and Spoon
