CBS Radio MYSTERY THEATRE is a radio drama series created and directed by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982. Later in the early 2000s the show was repeated by the NPR satellite feed.

The format was similar to that of classic old time radio shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler, in that the episodes were introduced by host E. G. Marshall who provided pithy wisdom and commentary throughout. Unlike the hosts of those earlier programs, Marshall is fully mortal, merely someone whose heightened insight and erudition plunge the listener into the world of the macabre.

CBS Radio MYSTERY THEATRE was broadcast each weeknight, at first with a new program each night. Later in the run, three or four episodes were new originals each week, and the remainder repeats. There were 1,399 original episodes.

Spent many hours hiding under the blankets listening to my transistor radio as a child, how wonderful life was then! Wish we could turn the hands of time back.

[kathybowlin]

I used to listen to this program in the 70s while spending the night at my grandparents, listening In the dark before going to sleep using my imagination it was wonderful..

[tishiamuprhy]

Listened to these as a girl w my grama she’s still here 75 thank you for this ❤

[mixingitupwithmina]

I put the headphones on and listen to these wonderful stories while mowing the lawn. I had forgotten what it was like to not be entertained by a TV or a phone/gaming consoles. There is a place for those, of course, but radio theater is calming and filled with exciting imagination at the same time.

[dominickvenafra]

I love this I used to listen as a kid it’s better then tv

[areneesouder]

I feel asleep again while listening last night, so it's time to catch up. 😃✌️

1975 moved from Chicago to Ridgewood NJ. I discovered this on the Radio one late night. It was amazing, i was in 5th grade.

[davidroberts]

I love these, just like I do classic old radio series and any good audio stories really. . .without the pre-conceived visuals of film/television (other than truly great exceptions) I become much more involved as an active participant in the stories, and my imagination soars!
To quote Tim Crook from "Radio Drama: Theory and Practice, " they are "auditory in the physical dimension but equally powerful as a visual force in the psychological dimension." Exactly.
The host, E. G. Marshall, is phenomenal, as are the stories, acting, sound effects, etc.
And these are wonderful to drift off into dreamland to, as well.
Thanks for uploading them.

Used to listen to this my junior & senior year in 76 & 77. Loved during the winter hearing the rain 🌧 & Sacramento River flowing by.

[dannylocke]

I remember working nights and weekends listening to these stories.

[Gigigirl]

As a young mom in the 70’s I would take a late evening bath & made sure I was in bed before 11 PM. I remember the name Hyman Brown😮. I never caught the conclusion of any episode as this was my “sleeping aid”.

The Canteville Ghost is without any doubt the best of the lot. Being Óscar Wilde the author it's just great. The others are fine. I enjoyed very much listening them, I'll check it out some others of your Listening/Videos. Thanks so much for your dedication 👍
