Every year or so, we get struck by the impulse to listen to a radio adaptation of Charles Dickens’ other famous ghost story, “The Signal-Man”! And, what do you know, it happened again! This year we head up North for the CBC Radio Mystery Theatre version! As before, this story depicts a curious stranger who encounters a rail worker beset by visions. Why does he seem to be receiving some otherworldly warning? How will this version compare to those we have already heard? What style of retro-animation would suit this story best? 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!)
