This week we kick off the first in a series of episodes recorded during stay-at-home orders, beginning with “Ancient Sorceries” from Escape recommended to us by our Mysterious Listeners Marc and Anton! Based on the story by Algernon Blackwood, “Ancient Sorceries” tells the tale of a buttoned-up British man who finds himself mysteriously drawn to a Welsh village where the taciturn inhabitants seem to already know him. Where on Earth is the strange organ music coming from? What do cats and sleep have in common? Would a soothing magical balm make it easier to listen to “Cat Wife”?  Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

Mystery Theatre CBC presented this adaptation of Algernon Blackwood’s “The Wendigo!” Theatre 10:30 also presented this adaptation of Algernon Blackwood’s “The Wendigo!” What’s the relationship between them? We don’t know! We do know it’s a story about two men on a hunting expedition who find themselves abruptly abandoned.  What monstrous thing abducted their guide and left behind such strange tracks? Is this a real creature or the product of madness? Would you listen to the “Eric, You’re Wrong” podcast? Listen for yourself and find out! (ALSO! We’ve got a couple of announcements. First, we are still encouraging folks to pay a visit to thewallbreakers.com for a fascinating history of radio drama. Second, we have launched a Patreon page! Our podcast will continue to be free, but we now offer our listeners a way to help us to produce these shows and receive some great gifts and bonus content in return!)
