On June 17, 2022, the 80th anniversary of the first broadcast of Suspense, the streaming station Stay Tuned America ran a 12-hour marathon of episodes. The programs were selected with the help of classic radio collectors at the Cobalt Club online forum, and by researchers Dr Joe Webb and Keith Scott. Mr. Scott is also an internationally-known voice actor, impressionist, and entertainer. Webb and Scott introduce each of the episodes in a light-hearted and informative manner, with Scott providing voices of Suspense stars and others. There are some episodes that are introduced with important historical background about the current events that affected their production. The "special guests" voiced by Keith Scott are Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra, Ronald Colman, Howard Duff, Joseph Cotten, Hans Conried, Dan Duryea, Van Heflin, Dana Andrews, Cary Grant, Alan Ladd, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Jack Benny, Ronald Reagan, Frank Lovejoy, and Vincent Price.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
