CBS Radio Mystery Theater

And Nothing but the Truth

English · Mystery & Thriller, Dramatic Readings

CBS Radio Mystery Theater brings the suspense and atmosphere of classic radio drama to stories of mystery, crime, and the uncanny. Hosted by E. G. Marshall, the series frames its tales with a calm, authoritative presence, guiding listeners into worlds where ordinary situations can take unsettling turns.

Each broadcast is a self-contained audio play, using dialogue, narration, music, and sound effects to build its story without a visual setting. The range of material includes investigations, psychological suspense, supernatural encounters, and puzzles of identity or motive. The title “And Nothing but the Truth” points toward a story centered on honesty, though the program’s broader appeal lies in the varied mysteries and dramatic situations it presents.

The show favors an intimate, theatrical style: voices and carefully shaped sound create the setting, while pauses and musical cues heighten tension. It is well suited to listeners who enjoy classic ensemble radio acting and suspense that unfolds through performance and atmosphere.
