This Tuesday overnight, April 08 into 09 from 1 to 3 am in THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY, another LIGHTS OUT by Arch Oboler, a visit to the old hermit in his cave, and another lost episode of JEAN SHEPHERD from April 07, 1969 from the Dictaphone Collection. “Buried Cars, Chan, Moto.” The program is heard on WBAI-NY 99.5 FM and on the stream at wbai.org.

LIGHTS OUT from CBS on July 27, 1943 #43 "The Little People" (aka "Shrinking People") for Ironized Yeast, Energine Shoe White. The eternal triangle seems a bit lopsided when two of the angles are shrunken to doll size. The lead character uses what sounds like a Bela Lugosi accent. Written and hosted by Arch Oboler, announcer Frank Martin.

THE HERMIT'S CAVE from WJR, Detroit origination, via World syndication on April 27, 1947 #536 "The Mystery Of The Strange Thing." Dawn Forestier, the wife of a famous doctor, has disappeared. What was the mysterious, glowing "thing" that appeared in her room? A delightful horror story!
