X Minus One / True Detective Mysteries (Old Time Radio Variety)

Classic Radio Rewind – Episode 91 Featuring X Minus One – “The Vital Factor” (11/30/55) and True Detective Mysteries – “The Horror in the Glass” (1/1/50) Step back into the golden age of radio as we guide you through another week of Classic Radio Rewind, brought to you by the WOTR Radio Network. This episode opens with a gripping slice of mid‑century science fiction from X Minus One. In “The Vital Factor,” a ruthless industrialist becomes obsessed with conquering space, pushing science—and morality—to their breaking point. Originally broadcast November 30th, 1955, it’s a tense, psychological tale about ambition, power, and the cost of progress. Then, we shift into the eerie world of True Detective Mysteries with “The Horror in the Glass,” first heard January 1st, 1950. A mysterious mirror, strange visions, and a trail of unexplained deaths pull investigators into a chilling case where reality and illusion collide. Plus, a programming note about Old Time Radio USA’s special presentation Remembering D‑Day, airing June 6th at 6:30am Eastern—featuring the first 24 hours of CBS Radio’s historic coverage.

The Life of Riley / Boston Blackie (Old Time Radio Variety)

Then we shift into mystery as Boston Blackie takes on the case of “Reynolds and the Stolen Goods,” originally aired September 1st, 1948—a fast‑moving tale of stolen merchandise, slippery suspects, and Blackie’s trademark wit. Plus, a special programming note: This Memorial Day Monday, Old Time Radio USA brings back Box 13: The Complete Series starting at 6:30am ET.
