Many people were interested in listening to “Story Hour”. Someone read an exciting story, or part of the story, while the listener’s imaginations provided visual images to fit the spoken ones. People listened to serials stories that were broken into one-hour segments. Because each hour ended with suspense, listeners had to tune in at the same time the next day to find out what would happen.
