What happens
Cliff Simmons, a man who has been staying at a hotel for years while his wife is in a hospital, checks in again and asks the operator to wake him at half past. Fran, his wife, has escaped from the hospital and is waiting in his room with a gun. She confronts him over a past she says he caused, and the two talk back and forth as Cliff tries to keep her calm. The episode is the Suspense radio drama Call Me at Half Past, written for the series by Alan Sloan and broadcast on June 25, 1961, with Elspeth Eric as Fran and Bernard Grant as Cliff.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
