It's Like the Chicken Heart, Except With Words

I apparently have no self control. It's now over 8,000 words, 

(What chicken heart, you ask? This one. Which, in the spirit of pending Hallowe'en, I offer you in its original entirety. It's the one that Cosby included in a very funny sketch. I won't, however, put anything by him in any posting of mine.)

Oboler was a remarkable radio writer, especially in the horror/terror genres.

I am familiar with Lights Out! (I am not encyclopedically versed in old-time radio, but I know a fair amount, which is part of the story of how spatch and I met.) I love that a local radio station of yours runs "The Dark" for Halloween.

We're solid listeners to WDCB, the small all-jazz (or nearly so) station that broadcasts out of a western Chicago suburb. They broadcast "Those Were the Days," a four-hour program of radio shows from the 1930s, 40s and 50s, every Saturday afternoon.

The host, only the second host in the show's 49-year-old history, continues its tradition of interviewing actors and producers of famous radio programs.
