The Gaming Gang October Spooktacular 2021 - Quiet Please: Northern Lights

Episodes
1

One of the best remembered fantasy/SF/horror radio programs of the later 1940s is Quiet Please. Sadly, the show wasn't all too popular when it aired and only lasted two seasons and 106 episodes. Yet of those 106 shows Willis Cooper produced, a good many of them are excellent stories which still stand up for today's listener.

More about it

While Cooper could create top notch horror tales, he certainly wasn’t a slouch when it came to science fiction either. Northern Lights is no doubt Cooper’s finest effort as it came to spooky SF and the episode even has a touch of an H.P. Lovecraft feel although there’s really no connection to the author’s Mythos stories.

More Horror & the supernatural

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
