Did you know: Alfred Hitchcock directed what proved to be the pilot episode of the radio classic Suspense---at the time, the concept and episode were introduced on a CBS series known as Forecast.

I forgot to mention: the episode in question was called "The Lodger" and starred Herbert Marshall and Edmund Gwenn. It aired 22 July 1940. It took two more years to get Suspense on the air to stay, and it went on to become a CBS radio fixture until 1962. I'm not sure, but I think it was the only show from the so-called golden age of radio (if you consider it to include shows born between 1925 and 1950) that survived into the 1960s.
