Miss the daily Suspense Project postings already? Our hiatus will be very brief, but here are some ways to stay in the Suspense groove until we return sometime around May 19, 2023, or before.
Jump on over to the Internet Archive for the Suspense 80th Anniversary Marathon that international voice artist and classic radio researcher Keith Scott and I did in June 2022 https://archive.org/details/80thAnnivSuspenseMarathon It's 24 of the best episodes of Suspense as introduced by Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra, Ronald Colman, Howard Duff, Joseph Cotten, Hans Conried, Dan Duryea, Van Heflin, Dana Andrews, Cary Grant, Alan Ladd, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Jack Benny, Ronald Reagan, Frank Lovejoy, and Vincent Price. You'll chuckle at some of our introductions for each episode, and some curious Suspense backstories are there to enrich the enjoyment.
The marathon was hosted by the streaming station Stay Tuned America on the anniversary day. We're delighted to report that Keith and I will be closing out the anniversary year with a mini-marathon on June 16, 2023 starting at 4pm Eastern Daylight US Time with 12 episodes and more celebrity visitors!
While The Suspense Project is on brief hiatus, enjoy the marathon archive!
