Show Notes

We've collected quite a backlog of Suspense episodes recommended to us by our mysterious listeners, so it's time for a Suspense-o-rama! We begin with "The Dark Tower," an episode that features Orson Welles in a theatrical, perhaps self-parodying role. In the story (based on a play), a larger-than-life actor spins a tale about an alleged murder. In this case, the alleged killer cannot remember whether or not she committed the crime! Is this script an adaptation of a play or a story about an adaptation of a play? Is Welles' performance parodying his own reputation or just living up to it? Was this episode a prequel to this commercial for the Dark Tower board game? Listen for yourself and find out!
