Episode #213: Arch Oboler Month: The Word

We continue to explore the innovative work of radio writer/director Arch Oboler. This series would not be complete without an Oboler fantasy play. The oddly named story "The Word" appeared on Lights Out!, but it was not as Oboler points out at the beginning a horror story. It's about a man and a woman visiting the Empire State Building when everyone in the world suddenly and inexplicably vanishes.  Visit our website: https://goodolddaysofradio.com/ Subscribe to our Facebook Group for news, discussions, and the latest podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/881779245938297 If you don't do Facebook, we’re also on Gab: https://gab.com/OldRadio  Our theme music is "Why Am I So Romantic?" from Animal Crackers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHJKAKS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_MK8MVCY4DVBAM8ZK39WD
