Show Notes
Project Audion starts the fifth season. They've had steady growth since those first COVID-era productions - in the quality of the performances and productions, in the size of our casting pool, and in the audience as well, fortunately! In fact, last month's episode -"The Man Called X" - has already become their second-most-popular dramatic production ever. This week, Suspense is one of classic radio's most highly-regarded dramas -- with good reason. It sustained a remarkably high quality level of dramatic tension for 20 years, as the many surviving recordings attest. You'll hear Suspense in its earliest form, straight from the original 1942 script. A dreadful murder takes place in the Simon James home, and justice is done ...or is it? It's a tale well-calculated to keep you in ...Suspense! Nothing less than one of the fabled "lost dozen" Suspense episodes - in fact, this script was intended to be the VERY FIRST Suspense episode ever. "The Life of Nellie James" was heard just once, live, on July 1, 1942 as Suspense's third-ever episode, and then never heard again. Until now!
