- The Whistler "Seascape" Oldtime Radio Mystery Drama
"The Whistler" was an American radio program running for a total of 13 years from May 16, 1942 until September 22, 1955. It was one of the most popular mystery drama's of its' time. Signal Oil Company sponsored the program. The marketing catch phrase was: "Let that whistle be your signal for the Signal Oil program, The Whistler."
During the first two years of the show J. Donald Wilson was the writer and producer. During 1944 producer and director George Allen took over. Other directors included Sterling Tracy and Sherman Marks with final scripts by Joel Malone and Harold Swanton. 692 total episodes were produced. Over 200 of those episodes can not be found and are no longer in existence.
The Whistler always finishes his stories with fatalistic relish, and "the strange ending to tonight's story" is rarely what one expects. In the world of The Whistler, fate has a few speedbumps for the hasty acts of the foolish! Those with a taste for crime and the macabre will enjoy the world of The Whistler.

Thx to everyone for the support! : ) I am working hard behind the scenes searching for more vintage high quality material to post! I have recently monetized this channel with "fan funding" which will help in my efforts to add more pre-50's entertainment and content on a regular basis!

I despise commercial TV, and got rid of cable. Now we have a Roku box with TH-cam, Netflix, Amazon etc. But I now spend more time listening to these old radio shows than anything else, especially at night while struggling with chronic insomnia. I really appreciate all the channels that supply we dedicated listeners with fantastic entertainment...and if ever I find I've heard them all (CBSMT, Whistler,, Lights Out, all personal faves), I'll simply start over and listen again 😀 Thx a million!
Me to ! Its getting harder to find a golden age of radio show I haven't heard but there are literally enough out there now that we'll forget the ones we've already heard b4 we run out ! Escape ranks right on top also ... if you haven't found that old Canadian show nightfall then I highly recommend it! Not a big # of those but man there good ! Enjoy
FABULOUS! I love these old radio shows. Thanks for giving them back!
Simply the best
Thank you for posting this great classic OTR episode - The Whistler is an old favorite!
I love OTR and murder/mystery movies from ‘29 through about ‘50....plus poirot and late 40’s and 50’s tv. As others have said, “now THAT’S entertainment”!
At the time, the show was heard on Monday nights at 9pm, Pacific Time. Bill Forman is "The Whistler".
Great with head phones at night thanks
I listen to these on Sirius-XM satellite radio channel 82.
Thank you for telling us that! I love these old radio programs.
148 now
This was heard only on the West Coast, where Signal Oil was available. Only twice was the series heard "coast-to-coast": in the summer of 1948 (for Household Finance), and the spring of 1955, just before the series ended.
thanks
I would much rather listen to these old radio shows and old black and white movies than any of this junk they try to pass off as entertainment today.
I agree
Absolutely!
Me too!
I agree
Without a doubt! We were probably born in the wrong era ... felt that way many years
actors and actresses who appeared on the Whistler on a regular basis,Were called the children of the Whistler.
Always a trick ending...............
another crazy dame
SMOKE WEEED
There were no closing credits with this one, but I'll take a wild guess and say that Joseph Kearns was the husband, and Elliot Lewis was the boy friend. So, if Elliot was the boy friend, could his wife Cathy have been the girl?
