Ron's Amazing Stories

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we're checking the weather forecast… and things are looking dramatic. First, expect steady rain with a chance of murder. Then, prepare for a blazing heat wave where a simple sketch becomes something far more unsettling. Both stories come from the golden age of radio's master of tension—Suspense—and both originally aired in April of 1948. Two very different kinds of weather. One unforgettable atmosphere. As always, these tales prove that the ordinary—a quiet Saturday, a warm August afternoon—can quickly become extraordinary when suspense moves in.
