Obsession is a radio show that dives into the dark and twisted aspects of the human mind, reflecting the post-World War II audience&#39;s craving for more dramatic and thrilling programming. The show&#39;s stories revolve around human beings in conflict with themselves, their obsessions, and their dark psychological tendencies. Its chilling and eerie narrative explores the minds of murderers, evil geniuses, and tyrants, with episodes delving into topics ranging from Napoleon&#39;s own obsession to various individuals&#39; fixation on shoes, death, or tides.</p><p>The radio show aired its first episode on October 9, 1950, and was independently produced by C.P. &#39;Chick&#39; MacGregor. Obsession began on WBBM, Chicago, as a filler until it earned its own time slot on January 15, 1951. Over its seventeen-month run, the program featured notable radio actors such as Vincent Price, Ruth Warrick, William Gargan, Miriam Hopkins, and Barton Yarborough. Despite the varying quality of the scripts, the music, acting, and narrative of the show have been praised and appreciated by enthusiasts. Obsession concluded with its final broadcast on May 12, 1952.
