Show Notes

Not only is this the conclusion of our Suspense-o-rama, a whole bunch of episodes from the classic series, it’s also our 200th episode! We are celebrating this momentous landmark by listening to a story written by the esteemed Lucille Fletcher and performed by the one-and-only Orson Welles, a tale entitled, “The Hitchhiker!” Welles plays a motorist whose cross-country trip becomes something more mysterious after he sees a seemingly innocuous man by the side of the road. Where will this strange journey lead? How did Suspense distinguish itself from other scary shows of the time? Where does Mr. Spock live? Listen for yourself and find out!
