Each episode of our podcast is a doorway to adventure, mystery, and suspense as we bring you the original "Escape" old-time radio show broadcasts."Escape" is a radio drama series that aired on CBS from 1947 to 1954, making it one of the most memorable programs from the golden age of radio. Renowned for its emphasis on high-adventure, suspense, and mystery, the show captured the imaginations of its listeners, offering an escape (hence the name) from the everyday through tales of adventure and peril.

The series stood out for its excellent writing, top-notch production values, and the use of robust sound effects that vividly brought its stories to life. Unlike many of its contemporaries, "Escape" did not have a regular host or narrator. Instead, each episode plunged directly into the story, with only the announcer providing brief introductions and closings, which usually included the memorable lines: "Tired of the everyday routine? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you... Escape!""Escape" drew from a wide range of sources for its stories, adapting works from famous authors such as Rudyard Kipling, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and H. G. Wells, among others. The show also produced original scripts that have since become classic examples of radio storytelling. Episodes varied in setting and time period, featuring everything from deep jungle expeditions and high-seas adventures to stories of survival in the desert and tales of intrigue in exotic locales.

The show's ability to transport listeners to another time and place, combined with compelling storytelling and high production standards, made "Escape" a beloved series during its original run and a favorite among old-time radio enthusiasts to this day. Episodes like "Three Skeleton Key," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and "The Most Dangerous Game" are often cited as some of the most memorable and effective examples of radio drama.
