Produced, written, and directed by Arch Oboler himself, Arch Oboler's Plays was a radio anthology that aired on NBC Radio for one year, from March 25, 1939 to March 23 of the following year. Five years later, it was heard again, this time on Mutual, from April 5 to October 11, 1945. All stories featured in the show were original works of Arch Oboler, except maybe for two, which were adaptations. The series had 52 episodes in its run, and 26 in its second run. Each episode lasted for 30 minutes, and was broadcast every Saturday and Thursday evenings on NBC and Mutual, respectively. Click here to read more about Arch Oboler's Plays
