A mysterious letter arrives with an unexpected price—and unlocks a chilling mystery that refuses to stay buried.
📬 Every letter tells a story. Some stories should never be opened.
When an ordinary piece of mail arrives marked "Postage Due," it appears to be nothing more than a minor inconvenience. But as its contents begin to unravel a long-forgotten mystery, what started as a routine delivery becomes a journey into secrets, suspicion, and unexpected danger.
Each new discovery raises more questions than answers. Is the letter simply delayed... or was it never meant to reach its destination at all?
Hosted by the legendary E. G. Marshall, CBS Radio Mystery Theater revived the tradition of classic radio suspense for a new generation, producing nearly 1,400 original dramas between 1974 and 1982. Blending mystery, supernatural intrigue, psychological suspense, and unforgettable storytelling, the series remains one of the finest achievements in audio drama.
"Postage Due" is one of the series' most admired late-era mysteries, celebrated for its clever premise, engaging performances, and satisfying twists. It's a perfect example of how an ordinary object can become the key to an extraordinary tale.
Turn down the lights, settle back, and let your imagination deliver the rest.
