The CBS Mystery Theater (1980)
CBS Network radio had a throwback to the grand old days of OTR when they allowed E.G. Marshall to host The CBS Mystery Theater. Here is a Christmas episode from the year of my birth, complete with early eighties radio commercials. Listen here.
I used to listen to this show on WFBR-AM in Baltimore during the mid-70s. Although I was only 10 years old, I was already a fan of OTR through tapes I got from the public library. I then discover CBS Mystery Theater when they ran an ad in the Baltimore Sun promoting their Edgar Allen Poe week. I was hooked from then on.

I stumbled onto some mp3 archives of the CBS Mystery Theater earlier this year, too. Some of my fondest childhood radio memories.
Pleasant dreams?
