What happens
Skip Homier stars in Subway Stop, an episode of the radio series Suspense, first broadcast on May 11, 1958. A young man leaves a late-night party with two college friends and heads for the subway station through empty city streets. Along the way he meets a pair of rowdy teenagers who begin to harass him and a series of drunken and desperate people. Alone on the platform, he finds himself in a frightening situation, with his safety and his belongings threatened. The episode follows him as he struggles to get help while the people around him respond with indifference, suspicion, or fear.
A city at night and early morning, including empty streets, a subway station, and its platform and men's room.
Characters: Skip Homier, Mike, John, Goob, Din, Johnny, Joe Forsyth, Daphne Forsyth
Listen for: The sound of the teenagers' taunts in the subway men's room and the voices of the bystanders on the platform.
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.
