The Black Mass was a horror-fantasy radio drama produced by Erik Bauersfeld, a leading West Coast radio dramatist. The series aired on KPFA (Berkeley) and KPFK (Los Angeles) from 1960 to 1965 on an irregular schedule. Bauersfeld was the Director of Drama and Literature at KPFA from 1962 to 1991.
After John Whiting began at KPFA in 1960, he subsequently became the listener-supported station's production director, presenting dozens of programs about the arts and current affairs over a 14-year span. Whiting was the sound designer on The Black Mass, and his collaborations with Bauersfeld were later credited as "keeping radio drama alive in America in the 1960s."
