Now I can get my nap.
Panzer is still recovering from being sick from his vaccination yesterday. He forgot to post about this short old time radio drama from The Mysterious Traveler series.
The Man Who Died Twice is a 1948 episode. It's 29 minutes long.
Do NOT read the description. It gives the whole plot away.
Make a cup of tea and enjoy the chills from this vintage radio show.
