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, hello, everybody.

Welcome back to the show.

This is your host, Dakota Black, coming at you from North Carolina. And today is exciting because we're going to get into a play from a program that we haven't aired many of. I think only one, if I'm not mistaken, one or two.

And this is going to be from the Inner Sanctum.

And so just to recap a little bit, the Inner Sanctum was a horror anthology that first aired on NBC in 1941 and later on CBS, hosted by Raymond Johnson, the show featured stories of horror,

thriller, and mystery.

Unlike other horror series during that time,

the show had this tongue-and-cheek style,

which were adapted by other radio programs,

such as Quiet Please and The Mysterious Traveler.

Johnson was later replaced by Paul McGrath at the same year in which Lipton T. became the show's primary sponsor.

During its decade-long run, the show was able to produce a total of 526 episodes.

The most popular ones were Terror by Night, which we aired on this podcast, by the way,

and the tell-tale heart.

And we'll get to that probably later on.

All right, so sit back and enjoy Detour to Terror,

which first aired May 21st, 1946.
