I’m 24 years old and I LOVE old radio shows! I also watch silent films, The Andy Griffith Show, Leave it to Beaver, ect. And I love the Andrews sisters, fats domino, Hank sr, ect. I just LOVE old stuff. It’s my passion! But I don’t think I will EVER meet anyone even remotely close to my age who has similar interests! Lol!!! Anywhoo, if anyone wants a buddy to chat with about old stuff, feel free to message me!!!!(:
Well hey! I'm 26 and I absolutely love these old radio shows and old television shows too. I think people our age that enjoy these things are also rare like us haha. Cheers my buddy!
My father is almost 93 years old, I am almost 67 years old. We sit here listening to this and other old radio shows. My father used the "who knows...." Line while playing with myself and my two sisters when we were young. He is the best Daddy ever. ☺️❤️
In the 40's, we all listened to these. The adults sat in their chairs, looking at the floor model radio. The kids laid on the floor, also LOOKING at the radio. LOL They were wonderful. Our imaginations filled in any blanks! Wonderful! memories. Thanks for posting here!!! ♥
sometimes on a long drive from a vacation we would manage to catch a certain tv station on the radio. It would play normal tv like frasier. I would imagine it was like old time radio.
Joanna Jacobson d3scribed the scene to s yes I got to stay up late to listen to fibber mc gee and Molly on Tuesday night my dad was in the same navy outfit as the fellow who played several characters on the show and whose name eludes me one of the best comedies ever !
Yes! My sister, who just passed away a few days ago, and I, bellies down on the carpet in front of the big console radio speaker, Mom and dad in their respective chairs. Sunday night with Jack Benny and Phil Harris/Alice Faye/Remley.
I am as old as some of these grandpas that people talk about. My sisters and I listened to these old shows as we fell asleep.They are all wonderful. The scarier the better!
My dad would do the laugh whenever we were at an amusement park and it was a ride where the lights went out or the floor seemed to drop out from beneath us. He and my mom both had t-shirts for "The Lamont Cranston Memorial Society"... Lost them, though, and i haven't been able to find them online. 🙁
How many of you are fans of the shadow ? i think the shadow radio show rocks , i was born in 1987 so i missed out on the golden age of radio , but when i started listening to them here i was instantley hooked . i love the whisler the shadow mystery theater suspense lights out the witches tale my favorite husband fibber magee and molly and a whole list of others , i hope they stay here for years to come , they rock.
same. I was born in 1980 but was introduced to these old time radio classics by my uncle when I was 14 years old, since then I have been hooked too, so much better than anything on TV today and the acting is great! I wish they would broadcast more of these classics on radio or on a podcast today so more ppl could get just as hooked as us. And age doesn't matter you can enjoy these no matter how old! I am a fan of the Shadow, of course, but also love Lights Out, Mysterious Traveler, Suspense, The Adventures of Superman, The Bickersons, The Life of Riley, Our Miss Brooks, My Friend Irma, Sargent Preston of the Yukon, the Lone Ranger and so, so many more. Your favorites are great too! Let's keep listening! :)
such a simple time. imagine being 9 or 10...boy or girl.. sitting in the living room...in the dark...only the glow of light from the radio.. then.... you hear the shadow speak! oh what wonderful shivers !
AMEN! It was a wonderful era. I loved it, and am grateful to have been born at a time when I was able to enjoy it all firsthand. Memory is an antidote to the disgusting poisonous ugliness and insanity of the present.
My father told me a story where he had some friends sleeping over. They were set up in the attic and listened to Light's Out. He had rigged a ghost on a sheet and pulled it thru an open window in the dark which caused a ruckus.
My great grandfather had a bunch of tapes of the shadow i grew up listening to these as i fell asleep 25 yrs ago, im pretty excited to do it again. Thanks awesome sound quality on these
If I had the money, I would bring back old time radio shows! I realize that we have television, but I would rather hear radio because then I'd be able to "exercise" my imagination! There are many great voices out there that could be used as radio characters, such as, James Earl Jones, for one. If he could speak as Darth Vader, imagine him as Lamont Cranston, alias, The Shadow!
Nice! I remember, when moving into our first home, my wife and I used to lie in bed, listening to The Shadow. 18 years later, we still talk about it. It was that special!
Now the air is crisply cool with dramatic sunsets...the time for ghost stores and fantasy! Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT AND a radio fantasy comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles.

Best alternative to audio books and albums. I remember listening to “It’s a Wonderful Life” a little before Christmas one day during work. I had to drive to North Jersey to get gutter/aluminum supplies and just listened to the whole broadcast. Best thing ever, makes time go by much quicker
We're doing a project at school where we re-create radio shows, and we're doing The Shadow. This was so much fun to listen to and I can't wait to re-create it!
Despite the "Blue Coal" advertisement in the picture, this is in fact one of the "summer replacement" episodes sponsored by B.F. Goodrich during the summer months of 1938. This is one of the last times that Orson Welles portrayed The Shadow before moving on to his famous Mercury Theater On The Air, including the renowned "War Of The Worlds" episode which was broadcast just over two months after this episode!
I loved Orson Welles as the Shadow but also enjoyed the other actors who portrayed him as well after Welles left the series. Welles always said that he didn't like his laughter for the Shadow opening credits so they got another actor, James LaCurto, to portray the famous Shadow voice and laugh at the beginning. They say he was technically the first Shadow, portraying the character as early as 1930 in 15 minute mystery radio skits.
I recall one episode where the sponsor, Blue Coal, had an ad saying it was "dyed a harmless blue" which the studio audience burst out laughing. Even then people were skeptical of corporate BS.
For these openings and closings, Frank Readick was "The Shadow" (he previously appeared as him in the 1936-'37 season). He later appeared as doomed reporter "Carl Phillips" in the famous October 1938 "MERCURY THEATER ON THE AIR" production of "The War of the Worlds".
Great broadcast, great radio show! I was introduced to these old radio broadcasts through my uncle who grew up in these times. He bought me a cassette of the shadow years ago and I got hooked so he would buy me more and more broadcasts for presents to listen to. Whether I am cleaning my house, driving in the car, falling asleep in bed or taking a walk around the track listening to my ipod I love to hear these! More entertaining than things on TV today! I love the shadow, lights out, suspense, baby snooks, inner sanctum, the mysterious traveler, etc etc :)
I'm really hooked on The Shadow and I like to listen while making dinner or baking. I also like listening to it at bedtime. The other programs you listed are also favorites of mine! Really not much on TV that interests me, especially the crummy language....ugh!
What a wonderful treasure these broadcasts are! They make a great escape from the HORROR of modern life. This brings back the omforting atmosphere of the world before it ost its mind in the SICK-sties. It's said, "You can't go home again," but these recorded broadcasts defy that, and make it possible to recapture fully the reassuring atmosphere in which I was raised. THANK YOU a thousan time for that.
Orson Wells voice …. Amazing special effects! Awesome set design and costumes! Beautiful lighting and the best cinematography ever! Radio! Wow, this media brought "story telling" as it was always meant to be - a high art of the mind. But I wonder, is it best to listen to while smoking "the weed of crime"?
😊 thank you ❤ I love the shadow. I go to the public library rent 33 albums to listen to Them my friends and family never knew about them it's was MY SHADOW THANK YOU FROM MOUNT VERNON INDIANA

i saw the movie version of this last night for the first time , it was made in 1933 , and i rocked , i was hooked , i loved it , i don"t know how many movie versions wer made but all see if i could watch more the first one was so cool
Thk you very much! I turned my goddaughter an her millennium friends wanting to learn and listen to these old radio stations they're actually enjoying them I sent it to them on messenger the age of the rangers are like 27 maybe 30
Reminds me of childhood listening these on the radio. They used to replay them certain days and I loved them and even had some albums of the show. My brother used to buy them for me.
My dad used to always tell me of stories of him and my uncles sitting around the radio at the Maryland farm they were raised at, listening to....The Shadow..........who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The shadow knows! HAHAHAHAHA. great upload!
who says they suck? I never heard of anyone who did and if they did they just never listened to them or weren't raised to appreciate the older, finer things in life. But agreed, they rule!
Technically I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), it was James LaCurto who portrayed the Shadow during the opening and end credits of the radio show during Welles' run because Orson Welles hated his laughter for the role of the Shadow so they got LaCurto to do it. I think he played the Shadow first in 1930, when the Shadow was still a 15 minute radio skit. Its' popularity turned it into a half hour drama series on radio
Oh! How much I have enjoyed listening to this old time radio show. I recall in the years during WW 2 on Sunday afternoon my school friend, Judy would watch this program while hiding under the covers on her parents bed. Those were the good old days of radio and theatre across the country. Judy and I were little girls wonder how she is doing these days from Ohio.
The Shadow, The Lone Ranger, Gang Busters, The FBI in Peace and War, The Silver Eagle.. So many radio shows that entertained me and my family, in the late 40's and early 50's. Thank goodness the internet has been able to preserve some of the entertainment, some of us enjoyed in our youth. This Shadow episode aired exactly three years, plus a week before I was born on Aug. 8, 1941. :-)
Love it...bring these back...good clean mysteries...too bad hollywood today abounds with so many of those that could use a real "Shadow" to clean the joint out and end the garbage they produce...

Just bought a CD with all the old Shadow radio programs. These are great because you had to use you imagination while the performers acted out the show. Better than television because TV just shows you something. Imagination is not needed.

If Orson was a boxer he'd be Awesome Orson!! Wells I thought it was good!!! Can u adam and eve it this was aired 78 years nearly to the day!! It's now the 22nd of August 2020. These shows truly are fabulous and there's a virtual box full of these gems for anyone to peruse at their listening leisure and I believe they broaden and nourish the mind, body and soul. In England where I'm from or anywhere for that matter we're so lucky to have a master like Welles at our convenience to just pull out whenever we want, aren't we lucky and he's just the tip of an Everestian (if that's a word?) iceberg!! To all.......Enjoy. Just as I and many others do!!!
just to let everyone know on here you can listen to old radio shows om a.m. 1260 at 8;00 every night and on the weekends to around the same time 2 radio shows in 1 hour , you don"t have to thank me , your wellcome

Someone were can i find star wars the pbs radio programs online they had the origninal episodes 4 , 5 and 6 i mean the radio ones not the audio book ones! most of the original actors redid the pbs shows with new material added.
We had to have good grades, attitude, chore completion.... Or no radio. Grama always left our door open if we were grounded from the radio, so we could hear..... I think papa knew ..... I sure miss them.
You'll find someone that likes the old radio shows I know somebody that's in their thirties that does. And there's a lot of young women that don't talk but they can hear that listen to low shows they sign

Hello fellow '87 person!
I'm also listening for the first time today, and loving it. I'll have to queue up the whole playlist when I have a long drive
The Shadow is one of my all-time favorites. A much simpler time. It's good that these shows have touched a new generation.

Old-Man Parker Are you nuts! This was radio. No awesome set design and costumes! Beautiful lighting and the best cinematography. Duh...
The "weed" of crime bears bitter fruit. Please make sure that your weed is pure and whole.
+Old-Man Parker Looks like you've had enough weed, friend. There's no lighting, cinematography, set design or costumes in a radio play.
+Old-Man Parker With so many enthusiasts and skeptics alike on the internet, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
+Filthy Fishmaster Only in the mind of the listener .... Which can be much grander than any stage !
Born in 2000 but I always loved these old shows and how different media was back then
😊 thank you ❤ I love the shadow. I go to the public library rent 33 albums to listen to
Them my friends and family never knew about them it's was MY SHADOW THANK YOU FROM MOUNT VERNON INDIANA
These radio shows really inspire imagination.

"Margo, get into a traffic accident for me."
"Aw gee, my hero!"
"See you in the hospital!"
Hahaha! For real.
you tube
That's true love right there
Jajaja at first I didnt believe this, now Im laughing super hard.
''sure is lucky crashing in front of a hospital''
Yep he truly care for Margo
i saw the movie version of this last night for the first time , it was made in 1933 , and i rocked , i was hooked , i loved it , i don"t know how many movie versions wer made but all see if i could watch more the first one was so cool
holy shit the acting here is freaking amazing!
Seriously! This is actually really impressive.
Watch out! It's the Silver Shroud! I mean, The Shadow!
Haha!
I thought the same xD.
One of my favorite stories of The Shadow is The Circle of Death I still listen to those stories
Thk you very much! I turned my goddaughter an her millennium friends wanting to learn and listen to these old radio stations they're actually enjoying them I sent it to them on messenger the age of the rangers are like 27 maybe 30
I wouldnt have known about the Shadow if it wasn't for the Baldwin movie, but going back to the source material like this is a treat.
Reminds me of childhood listening these on the radio. They used to replay them certain days and I loved them and even had some albums of the show. My brother used to buy them for me.
Used to play these around campfire, to my kids, 30-35 years ago.
My dad used to always tell me of stories of him and my uncles sitting around the radio at the Maryland farm they were raised at, listening to....The Shadow..........who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The shadow knows! HAHAHAHAHA. great upload!
old radio shows rule man i don"t care who says they suck , they rule
who says they suck? I never heard of anyone who did and if they did they just never listened to them or weren't raised to appreciate the older, finer things in life. But agreed, they rule!
sounds like a great childhood he had, your dad. :)
So did my dad, he also told me about another show called SKY KING
Blue Coal would send samples that glowed in the dark into the willing paws of the radio fans!
Love it! Love that Orson Welles' voice. Hooo Hooo Haaa Haaaa
Technically I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), it was James LaCurto who portrayed the Shadow during the opening and end credits of the radio show during Welles' run because Orson Welles hated his laughter for the role of the Shadow so they got LaCurto to do it. I think he played the Shadow first in 1930, when the Shadow was still a 15 minute radio skit. Its' popularity turned it into a half hour drama series on radio
@@fembotprincess1dont ruin people's memeory's becase you have a need to be a know it all
almost 80 years ago...
arthur Wow! Hard to believe. But I'm as old as Doritos, Star Trek and the Super Bowl (50)...
Still just as great!
Love the Shadow
Oh! How much I have enjoyed listening to this old time radio show. I recall in the years during WW 2 on Sunday afternoon my school friend, Judy would watch this program while hiding under the covers on her parents bed. Those were the good old days of radio and theatre across the country. Judy and I were little girls wonder how she is doing these days from Ohio.
The Shadow, The Lone Ranger, Gang Busters, The FBI in Peace and War, The Silver Eagle.. So many radio shows that entertained me and my family, in the late 40's and early 50's. Thank goodness the internet has been able to preserve some of the entertainment, some of us enjoyed in our youth. This Shadow episode aired exactly three years, plus a week before I was born on Aug. 8, 1941. :-)
Firesign Theatre did seriously good send-ups of these kinds of shows. They had the talent and the writing skill.
This could be done again.
Fire side....
Yeah they could but.....
I don't see how in this age of pod casting and audio books the radio drama couldnt make a comeback
Downloading all of the Shadow episodes and other radio shows in case things go badly. Good entertainment if lights go out.
Love it...bring these back...good clean mysteries...too bad hollywood today abounds with so many of those that could use a real "Shadow" to clean the joint out and end the garbage they produce...

Love these old shows.
In the 60s and I was born in 1961 I used to listen to the shadow on the radio.
thank you very much
Internet Archive has all of this. It's awesome they got everything
I regret that I have but one thumbs up to give 👍😍❤💚💜💙
Love the shadow :D
I'm a 41 year old truck driver and old time radio has made my job so much more enjoyable I mean it's not as good as watching today's shows like jersey shore but it will do
That was a joke in case someone didn't get it nothing beats the golden age of radio
Great show

There is nothing stopping parents from introducing their kids to these old shows. Just get them off the net and sit down with the little ones when they are young.

Great one.
The shadow radio show rocks xxx
Just bought a CD with all the old Shadow radio programs. These are great because you had to use you imagination while the performers acted out the show. Better than television because TV just shows you something. Imagination is not needed.

I was born 1958 but I love old radio show u can use you amaganation as the caterers come to life
Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU Razörfist!!!
If Orson was a boxer he'd be Awesome Orson!! Wells I thought it was good!!! Can u adam and eve it this was aired 78 years nearly to the day!! It's now the 22nd of August 2020. These shows truly are fabulous and there's a virtual box full of these gems for anyone to peruse at their listening leisure and I believe they broaden and nourish the mind, body and soul. In England where I'm from or anywhere for that matter we're so lucky to have a master like Welles at our convenience to just pull out whenever we want, aren't we lucky and he's just the tip of an Everestian (if that's a word?) iceberg!! To all.......Enjoy. Just as I and many others do!!!
" Gee, ' Shadow ', What Do You Want to Do Tonight??? "
" The Same Thing We Do Every Night-Try to Take Over the World!!! "
just to let everyone know on here you can listen to old radio shows om a.m. 1260 at 8;00 every night and on the weekends to around the same time 2 radio shows in 1 hour , you don"t have to thank me , your wellcome

Holy Dissection, Batman! The Shadow solved the case again!

Love this stuff
The Shadow knows... when you have to stop in an emergency, you have to stop FAST.
Ricardo Galvan as opposed to that "slow kind of stopping"? (he he heh heh heh heh heh! )
I love my Goodrich Silver Town Tires ! They're the bees knees !
Was looking in the description of the video and as you stated the recording is in the public domain but from your collection so I wanted to check if its cool to use a section as a sample for a song i'm working on?

Buy these tires “before it’s too late”. They didn’t dance around things back then.

Grama always left our door open if we were grounded from the radio, so we could hear.....

My favorite story of The Shadow is The Circle of Death
OTR 4 Life!
My ex used to call me limpy but both of my legs were okay. I don't get it.
Is that Lou Merrill in there as a villain? :D
Before there was Batman...there was The Shadow
