"She was not quite sure what made her so nervous."   Leave the city behind and join Aurelien at the lake house for Shirley Jackson's 1948 paranoia-inducing short story, "The Summer People". It's a story full of beautiful views, strange townspeople, and a distinct feeling of creeping dread.   Episode References: Explore US prices and wages by decade: https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/pricesandwages Make an egg'n'onion sandwich: http://www.annarbor.com/entertainment/food-drink/egg-n-onion-sandwich/   -- * Theme: Magical Transition by Kevin McLeod * Additional music and sound effects from zapsplat.com * Clip from Tommy Dorsey at the Hollywood Paladium: https://www.oldradioworld.com/shows/Tommy_Dorsey.php * Clip from Artie Shaw At the Hotel Lincoln: https://www.oldradioworld.com/shows/Artie_Shaw.php * Clips from real Brylcream and Captain Midnite Ovaltine commercials: https://www.oldradioworld.com/shows/Vintage_Commercials.php
