The Origins Of Superstition

Have you ever wondered where superstitions come from, why you may feel the need to throw salt over your shoulder to counteract any ill luck from spilling salt in the first place, why you should knock on wood to prevent misfortune from occuring to you when you've made a prediction or why walking under a ladder or breaking a mirror will cause you bad luck? Well, now you can find out right here on RUSC!

The Origins of Superstition sometimes also known as Superstition On The Air is a series of short stories designed to show the origins of many of the more popular superstitions. Superstitions we often laugh about until something, possibly a coincidence or possibly some twist or quirk of fate sets us to wondering if after all there might be some hidden unseen hand that controls our destiny. So that you will know how your pet superstition originated, when, why and where The Origins of Superstitions have made accurate research and assure you that the incidents portrayed in the sketches are merely the dramatization of the stories uncovered by that research. They state that in every case nothing has been added or subtracted. Nor has anything been taken for granted though it has been deemed discreet to use fictitious names for the characters every other detail of the story is true. The research has taken them to many lands over a period of greatly buried dates and through these vivid playlets they have made it possible for you to accompany them.

There are 39 episodes in the series so it pretty much covers all the best-known superstitions. It is a quirky little series, which both Joy and I enjoyed but I cannot tell you much more about it. If you know who produced the series or when it originally aired or if in deed you have any memories of this series that you would like to share with us then please get in touch at ned(at)rusc.com.

Well, not that I'm superstitious or anything but I touch wood and cross my fingers that you're going to like this latest addition to RUSC!

Happy listening my friends,
