Summary
Suspense went through several major phases, characterized by different hosts, sponsors, and director/producers. Formula plot devices were followed for all but a handful of episodes: The protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a threatening or bizarre situation; solutions were "withheld until the last possible second"; and evildoers were usually punished in the end.
This is the most comprehensive collection of the great series. This show really keeps the listener in suspense! Enjoy!

Fantastic collection
Suspense is proof positive that even after almost seventy five years since it was first broadcast that good writing stands the test of time. The performances can be cheesy as you'd expect from radio of that era. The playback quality here is not as good as the rereleased versions available on Audible due to their remaster but apart from the odd episode with bad volume balancing you should find them all enjoyable, just turn your volume up a bit and allow a bit of leeway for age. Finally, 99 hours of classic old time radio for just one credit is beyond a bargain. Highly recommended.

terrible quality
impossible to listen to. tried the first 7, skipped through to see if quality improves, but no. turn up to hear actors and the music/noise hurts the ears. buy better quality if theres any remastered versions. a waste of money
