The Whistler Episode Titled Summer Thunder. Original Air Date Was 07/30/1945. The Whistler is and american radio mystery drama sponsored by Signal Oil Company that ran from 1942 - 1955.
Hi.. I was 8 years old when this program aired. My Mother didn't want me to listen to these mystery shows, but there was a way to sneak by. Hopefully todays young kids might just listen to a few of these wonderful radio dramas and maybe they will discover how powerful drama is from the radio days... Think! movies and TV set the stage for a story, but radio drama allowed the listener to "imagine" what the actors looked like, which is why many of us were glued to the radio! Thanks, Paul
I have a record collection. My FIL worked for RCA. and both my HImself and me, kept our records. I bought a record player, and put on Elvis, when I brought the record player. Inside of the cover was a doodle from when I was 10, and the little caricature that I drew of myself, kissing Elvis. Time traveler, Love me tender...
I really enjoy listen to these radio shows as this was the centerpiece of where the family would gather at day's end to relax before turning in. I remember my Grandmother and Mom talking about the radio shows.
I Am Well Into My 60's However I Didn't Start Listening To Old Time Radio Until 11 Years Ago.. I Absolutely Love The Shows.. Escape...Suspense...The Whistler Mysterious Traveler...Gunsmoke.. And Many More... The Imagination Of The Mind Is Awesome...I Like When Someone Has To Say Something Like " Drop That Gun " Because We The Listening Audience Have No Way Of knowing...These Stories Are Brilliant...Additionally The Comedy Shows Are On The Money Too... Amos N Andy...Jack Benny The Great Gildersleeve... Another Crime Drama Nero Wolfe Is Entertaining... Take It From Me Eddie Bee these Old Time Shows Arex Priceless....
The endings always seemed to focus on ONE fatal flaw the murderer overlooked when committing the crime, like this: INSPECTOR NABB: "Mr. Gurnsey, I'm afraid you're going to have to come downtown for questioning." GURNSEY: "What *ARE* you talking about?" INSPECTOR: "We believe your wife was murdered- by YOU." GURNSEY: "That's absurd! I TOLD you I was out of the country, participating in the Remington Regatta in Scotland." INSPECTOR: "Then I have an even better reason to suspect you. There was an item in the paper the other day...." GURNSEY: "SO?" INSPECTOR: "It stated that the Remington Regatta was called off......due to- BAD WEATHER." **pounding of the kettle drum, followed by that mournful whistle........**
I wanted to see what other episodes you had, but you don’t have your shows on playlists, according to their name. They are just all jumbled together. Impossible to find what I’m looking for.
Sorry Chicago Girl. Will try and sort the shows into playlists when I can. Did you try to just do a search on the channel? Thanks for using the channel and commenting. We really appreciate it!

thanks !
One of the best radio mystery shows...........
No doubt about it! Love the twist at the end of each episode! Also, always very interesting plots.
I still have the cassettes. My gosh I would burn them on cds to listen to at bedtime in the 90s. Real entertainment
Hold on to those! Thanks for listening!

These plays can teach modern film makers a thing or two. No need for c.g.i. when you can use the imagination.
Great to hear these old progs again
Wonderful, thank you.

You like are the great shows. All good choices. I did not start listening to theses shows until about 14 years ago. Just caught on somehow.
Thank you OTR HALLOWEENHOLIDAZE for this clip. It has been shared to MBTI Radio Station on Reddit.
Sounds great! Thanks for letting me know. Always trying to put weird and interesting shows on this channel.
awesome!
Thank you
good little twist at the end
I remember a very similar plot being parodied in a Looney Tunes episode.
I believe it. Looney Tunes gave its audience terrific exposure to some really classical material ... even when we didn't realize it!
The Inspector sounds a little like Carey Grant.
He had such a distinct voice!
@@OTRHALLOWEENHOLIDAZE Yes he did.. A sharp twang. And thank you so much for uploading these ✨gems✨.
What?! What a terrible ending! They just leave you hanging. Argh!
Wish the could all be winners. Sometimes you do get a dud.

As heard on the CBS Pacific Network.

For a minute there I thought the butler did it.

Pretty good story, but I hate whistling.
