Mon, 12 January 2009  Confession which premiered over the NBC radio network on July 5th,
1953 on Sunday evenings began with the announcer intoning “The
Confession you are about to hear is an actual recording…” The whole
concept was to create what appeared to be a real criminal reading their
own confession. The confessions were true stories of crime and
punishment made by the person about whom the week’s episode was
focused. Everything was revealed in a reverse order from the normal
story beginning with the confession and moving back in time to the
crime.
It was certainly an intriguing idea… Music under is “What Am I Here For?” performed by Andre Previn, Joe Pass & Ray Brown. Comments[3] |

Serious brain fade on that one, Jeff. I am not sure which Twilight Zone I was in when I recorded that one. Nope...not a repeat, just a sign of early senility. Thanks for the catch. I even listened to it again after it was posted and didn't catch it. Sheesh!

say, Pard,
Whata think the chances are of a comeback of something like this on radio? I found the several websites that offer these old time radio shows and love them. Usually I'm sitting here at my computer at night listening to the detectives of the 40s and 50s while my wife is watching television. Television bores me most of the time. I guess I like using my own imagination rather than the "expertice" of some silver screen producer.
Thanks.
