You'll have to listen in to find out what it is, but be warned--it's not for the faint of heart.

Hello and welcome to the Cauldron of midcentury horror radio! When we dive in, we never know where, when, or whether we will come up again. This week, we dive into "Banquo's Chair", from the series Suspense, where the question is not whether ghosts exist, but whether they do their work properly. And, perhaps, whether they are always the scariest entity in the room.

Hello and welcome back to Cauldronside, where midcentury horror radio reigns supreme. We gather, listen, and make sense of a different episode each week, and this week it's the end--
"The Author and the Thing", from Lights Out Everybody.  Lights Out always did like a good end of the world story, and this time Arch pulled out all the stops... too many stops...
