Escape - "Jimmy Goggles the God" (Old Time Radio)

Escape presents “Jimmy Goggles the God,” originally broadcast on CBS on March 7, 1948. Episode numbering varies by catalog: it is often listed as episode 31, while performance-count listings identify the March 7 broadcast as number 40. The drama adapts an H. G. Wells short story, written for radio by Les Crutchfield and directed by William N. Robson. On a remote South Seas island, a deep-sea diver becomes separated from safety and finds that his strange equipment has given the islanders a startling impression of who—or what—he might be. Paul Frees stars as George Herbert, with Jack Webb, Luis Van Rooten, and Parley Baer also featured in this tense tale of improvisation, misunderstanding, and danger. Escape presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
