Another journey into the realm of the strange and terrifying.

I hope you will enjoy the trip that it will thrill you a little and chill you a little.

So settle back.

Get a good grip on your nerves.

Where are we going?

You'll find out when we get there.

Well, welcome everybody to our third hundredth episode of the podcast. So glad that you are here and listening.

Today is such a huge milestone to hit 300 episodes on this show. I'm just blown away.

I decided to celebrate this milestone with a classic, an

absolute classic. And that is the story of Dracula as presented by the CBS Radio Mystery Theater.

Before we get into that, I am going to take a few extra moments today to talk a little bit before we feature the play.

So if you're not interested in that, feel absolutely free to fast forward through this introduction to get to the

play. But in the meantime, I'll try to make this as short as possible. You know, when I started

this podcast a few years ago, I started it as just a hobby. And I really had no idea if anyone would actually take an interest in it

or not. But you guys have blown me away and people just started taking a big interest in this show.

And I've received a lot of nice comments. I've received donations from people. And it's just been a

real blessing to me and my life. And I absolutely just love doing this show. I mean, you can't say that

about every job. But I absolutely love doing this podcast. It is so much fun. And, you know, even cleaning up and

restoring the plays, I see that as a challenge. So even that is entertaining to me. But basically,

what started out as a hobby a few years ago has now turned into a lifelong endeavor to find, restore and clean up and present these gems of old time radio programs, specifically of the mystery, suspense, and horror genres.

And the reason that all of this is possible is because of you guys.

It's through the help of your listening.
