OTR Halloween Day 2: The Chase

I've written about the program The Chase before in a radio recap. The Chase ran on NBC from the spring of 1952 to the spring of 1953. I found the series as a whole not as remarkable as it might have been, but the series does have some highlights.

Perhaps the best episode of the Chase is the first one: "The Big Cat." The story involves a leopard escaping from the zoo. A mild-mannered man hears about the escape and it causes him to reflect that he's like a leopard and that he should similarly break free from the confinement of his normal life.

It's a very unusual thriler story and quite well done; you can hear it at the Old-Time Radio Researchers Group.
