Radio Nights

I grew up in the golden age of radio. On a Sunday evening, you could find an entire family huddled around the radio in rapt and silent attention. I remember looking at the radio listings in the newspaper and wondering if the Red “Skeleton” Program was going to be scary ghost story. My father pointed out that Red “Skelton” was a famous vaudevillian and comedian. He was a funny guy. On weeknights, you would find me under the covers listening to every mystery and scary story that radio offered. This is Dick Sederquist again with my seventh “Reflections and Stories Along the Way” audio PODCAST. This short story, written in 2004, is called “Radio Nights”. This is for the good old days when people told stories that would take your breath away and make your hair stand on end. Here we go.
