Before Suspense became one of the greatest thriller anthologies in radio history, it began with this unforgettable audition episode — The Lodger.
Originally broadcast on July 22, 1940, as part of the CBS series Forecast, this chilling tale of murder and paranoia introduced audiences to the power of sound-driven tension.
Adapted from the same story that inspired Alfred Hitchcock’s early film classic, The Lodger remains a haunting portrait of fear, suspicion, and madness in foggy London.
