The Ghostly Spirit Behind the Script Wanted His Name on the Marquee, Not Hers
Friday, 19 December, 2025
In “The Imposter”, a woman, despite having no theatrical background, is suddenly inspired to write a full-length play — with the ghostly help of a long-dead actor. When the play turns out to be a hit, she tries to take all the credit for it. But the real author’s spirit isn’t having it and demands that her name be removed from the marquee. | #RetroRadio EP0571CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:30.028 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “The Imposter” (March 22, 1977) ***WD00:45:34.027 = Eleventh Hour, “Will” (1941-1946) ***WD01:14:24.935 = Escape, “Red Wine” (February 26, 1949)01:43:51.535 = Everyman’s Theater, “This Precious Freedom” (October 04, 1940) ***WD02:11:07.323 = Murder By Experts, “Murder By Prescription” (July 11, 1949)02:40:34.581 = Exploring Tomorrow, “The Last Doctor” (February 19, 1958)02:59:01.191 = Faces in The Window, “Lightning Rod Man” (January 17, 1953) ***WD (LQ)03:22:41.516 = Dark Fantasy, “Debt From The Past” (January 16, 1942)03:46:52.517 = Fear on 4, “The Chimes of Midnight” (October 02, 1997) ***WD04:14:52.809 = 5 Minute Mysteries, “Broken Window” (1947-1950)04:19:55.490 = Tales From The Tomb, “Don’t Drink With Strangers” (1960s)04:23:35.238 = BBC Ghosts From The Past, “The Boat Hook” (April 15, 1992)05:07:02.739 = Show Close(ADU) = Air Date Unknown(LQ) = Low Quality***WD = Remastered, edited, or cleaned up by Weird Darkness to make the episode more listenable.
