The Devil and Mr. O - "Neanderthal" (Old Time Radio, 1971)

The Devil and Mr. O, episode 2, “Neanderthal,” originally broadcast September 24, 1971. Written by Arch Oboler, this episode is a retitled version of his earlier story, “Across the Gap.”After an automobile accident in the French countryside, several travelers find themselves stranded in a prehistoric world roughly 12,000 years in the past. Facing an unfamiliar wilderness—and the presence of a Neanderthal hunter—their modern assumptions about survival and violence are put to the test. The earlier 1936 Lights Out! version of the story is reported lost, making this later adaptation an important surviving presentation.Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.Chapters:00:00 Victor Sterling Introduction00:46 Original Broadcast29:36 ClosingSupport Old Time Retro Radio at https://www.patreon.com/oldtimeretroradio
