This week on Classic Radio Rewind, We guide you through two gripping mysteries from radio’s golden era. We open with a tense psychological drama from The Molle Mystery Theater: “Female of the Species” (June 7, 1946). A seemingly ordinary woman becomes the focus of a chilling investigation when a murder exposes the darker corners of her personality. The deeper the detectives dig, the more unsettling the truth becomes.

Then, we shift into the eerie world of Mystery In The Air with Peter Lorre starring in “Beyond Good and Evil” (August 28, 1947). This haunting tale follows a man who believes he’s risen above morality itself — a belief that leads him down a path of obsession, violence, and psychological unraveling. Lorre’s unmistakable voice brings the story’s tension and madness to life.

Step back into the golden age of radio with this week’s episode of Classic Radio Rewind, brought to you by Barry Slinker and the WOTR Radio Network. This installment features two gripping adventures from opposite ends of the old‑time radio universe — a Western mystery and a chilling tale of suspense.

Red Ryder and Little Beaver ride straight into trouble when the quiet rancher Eli Corbin is found murdered under suspicious circumstances. As Red digs deeper, he uncovers a web of deceit, hidden motives, and dangerous secrets threatening to tear the community apart. Justice on the frontier is never simple — and this case proves it.

Lamont Cranston and Margot Lane travel to a remote mountain settlement plagued by eerie howls, strange disappearances, and a legend that has terrified locals for generations. As The Shadow investigates, he discovers that the truth behind the “hounds” is far more sinister — and far more human — than anyone suspects. A classic blend of mystery, atmosphere, and psychological tension.

Whether you love Western action or spine‑tingling suspense, this episode delivers a double feature of classic radio storytelling at its finest. Sit back, relax, and rewind with us.
