SILENT SHOCK: Those Little Pink Pills | #RetroRadio

from Retro Radio: Old Time Radio in the Dark · host Darren Marlar

“Silent Shock”: She rented the house for the view — for the ageless, indifferent sea outside every window, for the poems she planned to write, for the phone calls to the men she used to love. But the housekeeper wasn't a housekeeper. The groundsman wasn't a groundsman. The little pink pills weren't vitamins. And somewhere out past the fog, a great white ship was drifting closer to shore… carrying the one man she'd been waiting fifteen years to kill. | #RetroRadio EP0638CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:30.028 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “Silent Shock” (September 07, 1977)00:45:58.247 = Everyman’s Theater, “Cat Wife’ (October 18, 1940)01:14:57.244 = Murder By Experts, “The Big Money” (July 25, 1949)01:44:22.965 = Exploring Tomorrow, “Secret That Cannot Be Cracked” (April 23, 1958)02:04:00.956 = Faces in The Window, “Black Cat” (November 22, 1952) ***WD02:27:40.978 = Dark Fantasy, “Superstition Be Hanged” (March 13, 1942)02:51:54.169 = BBC Fear on 4, “Snowman Killing” (January 03, 1988)03:20:34.628 = Five Minute Mysteries, “Murder Under Tent” (mid 1940s)03:25:28.740 = Future Tense, “A Pail of Air” (May 20, 1974) ***WD03:52:41.177 = BBC Ghosts From The Past, “Black Stockings and Broken Mirrors” (April 08, 1992)04:36:22.865 = BBC Haunted Tales of the Supernatural, “Legal Rites” (May 15, 1982)05:04:21.055 = Show Close(ADU) = Air Date Unknown(LQ) = Low Quality***WD = Remastered, edited, or cleaned up by Weird Darkness to make the episode more listenable.
