CBS Radio Mystery Theater
A Very Old Man
CBS Radio Mystery Theater brings the suspense and atmosphere of classic radio drama to a new story each broadcast. Hosted by E. G. Marshall, the series frames its tales with his calm, distinctive introductions and closing remarks, guiding listeners into worlds of mystery, danger, and the uncanny.
Each episode is presented as a self-contained audio play, using dialogue, sound effects, and music to build its setting and reveal its secrets. The stories range across crime, psychological suspense, supernatural encounters, and other mysteries, with a cast of performers bringing the characters to life through voice and performance.
The result is an intimate, theatrical listening experience: a story unfolds through sound alone, while Marshall’s measured presence gives the program a familiar point of return. Its blend of suspenseful storytelling and classic radio craft makes it well suited to listeners who enjoy mysteries that invite close attention.
