Show Notes

Macabre wasn’t one of the best known series from the golden age of radio, but its odd origins contribute to some remarkable results. This week the Society has a chance to reflect on “The Man in the Mirror,” in which a man strikes a supernatural deal to escape death. Just how the heck are you supposed to pronounce “macabre”? What can an amateur show accomplish that professionals wouldn’t even think to try? How could Tim forget the name of the Tales of Horror podcast, where he often goes to find inspiration from their great variety of classic shows? Listen for yourself and find out!
