  • サマリー

  • Nelson Olmsted was one of the last great radio horror performers. Born Leroy Nelson Olmsted, Jr. on January 28, 1914 in Minnesota, he was raised in Texas, where he became an announcer for local radio stations. For the album notes on his Sleep No More album, he offered a bit of biography:
    “By the time I moved to WBAP in Ft. Worth... the announcer's life seemed endlessly sterile.

    What to do about it? Dramatic shows cost money and there were no budgets. The cheapest drama for radio I could think of was good literature, read aloud. Especially the work of that great dramatist who never wrote a play - Edgar Allan Poe. WBAP gave me some time with which to experiment. That was way back in 1939 - and it worked. By 1940 the storytelling show was on NBC for a 10 year run.”
