Show Notes

UPDATE: The date we give for the episode’s initial broadcast is incorrect! The actual date was March 9, 1953 and was rebroadcast on November 23, 1953. This week’s visit to our Listener Library features an episode of Hall of Fantasy, “The Masks of Ashor,” recommended to us by Clarence! Thanks, Clarence! A couple receives two gold masks as a gift from a relative traveling through Istanbul. They soon learn the strange story of the masks and why they seem to stare at their new owners! Why was the merchant who owned them before so eager to sell them? What face were these treasures meant to hide? Was there a time when people just knocked on doors, looking for stamps? Listen for yourself and find out!
