TGG Old Time Radio Double Dip #2: Donovan's Brain Suspense 5/18/1944 & 5/25/1944

The Suspense episodes for 5/18/1944 and 5/25/1944 featuring Orson Welles in the starring role. This was the first time Suspense produced a two parter as well as it's first foray into science fiction. Our tale is one of an Arizona scientist, Dr. Patrick Cory, whose studies are interrupted by a nearby plane crash in which he finds a survivor. In a move to further his own experiments, Dr. Cory makes a choice regarding the plane's occupant (millionaire William H. Donovan) which has dire consequences for all involved. The story is adapted from the 1943 Curt Siodmak novel. I will point out (no spoiler here) the ending of the novel and that of the radio program are actually quite different. *** I should point out when doing your best to remaster many of these old radio shows one has to walk a fine line of cleaning the audio as best you can while also trying not to ruin the original sound integrity of the broadcast. This why you still hear some underlying hiss or crackles on some of these shows I've worked on, as too much manipulation begins to make the original recording begin to sound tinny or unnatural.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
