Hello, FRiends! Thanks, Vision!

We have a Suspense with William Conrad and Eddie Bracken. :-)

Ed may be replaying the first part of the new Johnny Dollar series from last week, or it's an incorrect entry. I have included the synopsis of part 3, in case the WAMU entry is in error.

Also, the Anderson Family episode listed is the same one he played a couple of weeks ago. Don't know if he's re-running it, or what.

These brief synopses are from the RadioGOLDINdex © 2013 J. David Goldin, used by permission.
