    I’m a Japanese college student studying English. Several years ago my professor recommended listening to this show to me. At first I wasn’t used to listening to this kind of English but now I can enjoy it! Listening to this is a really good way to study English!

    I was given a brand new transistor radio by my parents, about 9”x 5”, for my eighth birthday. There was no way to use headphones back then - 1958. We lived just west of the Mississippi and only got a couple of stations. I used to have to share a bedroom with four other siblings (and there were another three in another bedroom.) I used to put it under my pillow at night and listen to a show called: “Stairway to the stars”. Stories and music programs. They were wonderful, and I loved falling to sleep to them! Amazing, the seemingly small things we remember from our childhood that we really enjoyed and stayed with us. Now at 71 I find them very comforting, and I am so pleased to have found these since I never heard them before! Thank you to whoever our benefactor is!

      This was a re-broadcast that was done in the early 2000s. Original producer Hyman Brown is the host instead of E.G. Marshall- Marshall had passed by the time of the rebroadcasts- of which more episodes were chosen.....I think they revisited select episodes on NPR for a short period.
      They ALL sounded this good way back when... provided your radio reception was decent. I usesd to listen to the originals on WCAU-1210 AM in Philly. Great memories !!
      This one is my fave- it scared my 6 year old self back then & I was hooked. The episode is kinda jokey now....but as a 6 year old ? Yikes !!

      Tony Roberts starred in a half dozen Woody Allen movies.
      All of these actors were celebrated professionals in their fields at that halcyon time.
      Many would go on to larger careers.
      Morgan Fairchild appears in many of these.

    The best episode of the best series ever!
    The audio quality is superb. I initially heard this story hosted by the great E.G. Marshall. Unfortunately the audio quality wasn't the greatest. It's interesting hearing Himan Brown's take as host. Himan brown also had a cameo role in this tale.
    If this story were a motion picture, I'm sure there would be a sequel.

    In some ways I prefer the recordings off the air that have that more distant, low-fi sound. Somehow adds another layer---a kind of patina---of spookiness. Something like reading a creepy story in an old book in which the pages are yellowed with age and a bit musty...I guess what I'm talking about is like listening to "antique sound".
