  This week on Friday Night Noir, we invite you into two unforgettable journeys through the darker corners of radio drama. We begin with Arch Oboler's Plays in "Strange Morning" originally broadcasted April 5th, 1945. An ordinary day unravels into an eerie and unsettling experience in Oboler's uniquely haunting style.  Then, from Quiet Please, comes "Good Ghost" broadcasted on October 24th, 1948. A tale that blends the macabre with the tender, as a gentle spirit finds new meaning in the afterlife.  Together, these stories offer a chilling yet strangely human glimpse into mystery, mortality, and the unexpected.

• Tuesday Night Detectives - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Strange Death of Mrs. Abernetty) & The Thin Man (Nora's Night Out)

  Step back into the golden age of radio mystery with this week's double feature of intrigue and suspense! First, in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' as the great detective and Dr. Watson unravel the chilling case of "The Death of Mrs. Abernetty", originally broadcast on November 30th, 1946. A curious death, a tangle of motives, and Holmes' razor-sharp deductions promise a classic detective's tale. Then, we lighten up with wit and sophistication in Dashiel Hammett's iconic detective duo, Nick and Nora Charles. In "Nora's Night Out", the glamourous sleuthing couple find that even a night on the town can turn into a case of mystery and danger. Whether it's the foggy streets of Baker Street or the cocktail lounges of old-time Manhattan, tonight's adventures prove that crime never rests -- and neither do our detectives. Tune in to Tuesday Night Detectives, where every clue counts and every story crackles with vintage suspense, here on Vintage Classic Radio.

• Sunday Night Playhouse - The Little Prince (Antoine de Saint Exupéry) & The Celestial Omnibus (E.M. Forster)

  This week on Sunday Night Playhouse, Vintage Classic Radio presents a double bill from Orson Welles' CBS Radio Workshop, bringing to life two timeless tales of imagination and discovery.  First, we hear Antoine de Saint Exupéry's The Little Prince from May 25th, 1956, the moving tale of a downed pilot who encounters a mysterious boy from another world, and through him learns profound lessons of love, loss, and the importance of seeing with the heart.  Then comes E.M. Forster's The Celestial Omnibus, from August 8th, 1957, the enchanting story of a young boy who stumbles upon a magical carriage that whisks him away into realms of wonder and literature, a journey that adults scoff at until its truth proves undeniable. These stories remind us that it is through childlike eyes we glimpse life's deepest truths, and that imagination often reveals what reason cannot. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this evening's journey into wonder on Sunday Night Playhouse, from Vintage Classic Radio.
