CBS Radio Mystery Theater
The Golem
CBS Radio Mystery Theater brings the suspense and atmosphere of classic radio drama to a series of self-contained mystery, crime, and supernatural stories. Hosted by E. G. Marshall, the program frames each tale with a calm, distinctive presence, guiding listeners into worlds where ordinary situations can turn unsettling and familiar explanations may not be enough.
Each broadcast unfolds through dialogue, narration, music, and sound effects rather than visuals. The title The Golem points toward a story drawing on the legendary figure of Jewish folklore, traditionally a being fashioned from clay and brought to life. The series’ dramatic format lets voices and carefully shaped audio create the setting, build tension, and carry the story forward.
The result is an intimate, atmospheric listening experience: part mystery, part suspense drama, with the pleasures of a complete story told entirely through sound. E. G. Marshall’s introductions and closing remarks give the program a recognizable frame, while the changing stories offer a fresh encounter with the uncanny and the unknown.
