Love the show!

Is best to listen to it at night!
Or driving away on an interstate highway at night in the middle of nowhere, it was sooo creepy!

Masterpiece!

Icebox Radio Theatre’s greatest masterpiece is “Mystery On The Air” - where they turn classic tales by Poe and Lovecraft (for the most part) into audio plays: They’re beautifully done, captivating, and also acted & produced perfectly for the podcast. Please let there be more “Mysteries” to come...

Glad they stopped

I do not know why people insist on taking great 'old' stories and re-imagining them for current era. Just do the old stories as they were written OR write a new story! New stories, what a concept! I guess one couldn't ride on an existing brand then. Unless you enjoy bastardisations of old stories give this a pass.
