Suspense went through several major phases, characterized by different hosts, sponsors, and director/producers.

Summary
Suspense went through several major phases characterized by different hosts, sponsors, and director/producers. Formula plot devices were followed for all but a handful of episodes: The protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a threatening or bizarre situation; solutions were "withheld until the last possible second"; and evildoers were usually punished in the end.
This is the most comprehensive collection of the great series. This show really keeps the listener in suspense! Enjoy!
