Episode 497: Inner Sanctum Mystery

This week, we’ve got a rare find: Inner Sanctum Mystery with the long-lost 1944 episode “The Dream,” with an appearance by Orson Welles, of all people, as star on the show, at a time where Welles had reached the peak of his celebrity status. Host John Tefteller shares the story behind the recording, made by engineer Rudy Van Gelder. The story follows Judge Robert Branscolm, a respected man troubled by a vivid, violent dream, one where he murders a stranger with a silver-handled cane. Disturbing enough… until he finds himself presiding over a case involving that exact crime. A true rediscovery, and a great moment for vintage radio fans and historians alike.
