About this episode
Unknown Broadcast is your strange little frequency of old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, and vintage radio mystery—the kind of signal that crackles with laughter one second and turns cold the next. Tune the dial just a hair too far…and you’ll catch the stories that weren’t meant to survive the night. Tonight’s broadcast drifts from absurd crime to buried dread, from cursed good fortune to open-water peril—four classic radio tales where greed, fear, and bad timing all make the same sound: footsteps behind you. Inside this episode:? “The Stolen White Elephant” — A ridiculous, escalating caper that turns into a full-blown hunt: detectives, headlines, and the impossible task of recovering a stolen white elephant before the whole city becomes the punchline. ?? “The Digger” — Down in the dark where secrets go to rot, someone keeps digging… and the past starts pushing back. A tight, grim suspense tale where the ground feels alive.? “The Golden Penny” (The Whistler) — A shiny little promise of luck—until it starts behaving like a lure. A fortune that buys trouble, and a trap that snaps with a smile.? “Clear for Action” (Escape) — A maritime nightmare at full speed: danger on the water, enemy pressure closing in, and a desperate push to survive the next command… and the next blast.Some nights the dial lands on comedy, some nights on terror—but the signal is always the same: something is missing, something is digging, something is buying time… and something is closing in.?
