ON THE AIR: January 18, 1948
You should never trust anyone! They will lie! The will steal! They will cheat and frame you for murder! Don't believe me? Then listen to "Death and the Black Fedora" and you will know what The Shadow knows! Money may not be the root of all evil but it sure as shinola is the fertilizer that feeds the weed of crime. Bitter is the fruit of truth!!!

Saturday's random pulp cover: Detective Book Magazine Fall 1939
This cover seems to be illustrating the second story, "Murder on Set 13". However, you can't go wrong with a pulp carrying a tale titled "Deep Shadow".

ON THE AIR: January 11, 1948
Jump in a rickshaw and take a trip to Chinatown with Margot and Lamont and follow the trail of death in "The Bones of the Dragon". After half an hour you'll be hungry for more.

Saturday's random pulp cover: Black Mask November 1921
Dashiell Hammet! Earl Stanley Gardner! "Poisonville"! Great Depression era cover with some great authors... this would be a keeper for sure!

ON THE AIR: January 4, 1948
Classic episode to start 1948 off with. Margot intentionally puts herself in the line of fire to bring down two seemingly harmless senior citizens. Harmless? Murderous is more like it. Throw in an unscrupulous mortician and you have a case for... The Shadow! If you are wanting to feel the cold hand of death grip your shoulder then tune into "The Chill of Death"!

Saturday's random pulp cover: Weird Tales October 1933
Classic cover from October of 1933. Simple and elegant. This issue probably flew off of the shelves, regardless of whether the story was any good.

ON THE AIR: December 28, 1947
A crazy family with it's own horseman legend. It'll take The Shadow to save Margot and the remaining members from the fate of "The Terrible Legend of Crownshield Castle"!

Saturday's random pulp cover: Terror Tales September 1934
Yikes. A lake of blood! A shackled and frightened damsel! A green hand dragging her to her inevitable demise. Terror indeed.

ON THE AIR: December 21, 1947
At Christmas it is usually the thought that counts. Take a listen to good intentions bringing about unintentional tragedy. Leave it to Margot and Lamont to get tangled up in another case of greed and murder. Tune in and unwrap "A Gift of Murder" with a mug of eggnog... in March.

Saturday's random pulp cover: Adventure July 18th 1918
What a great illustration. Sure, it ain't action packed but it sure stirs images of buried treasure and riches beyond one's wildest dreams.

Never get involved with a vengeful thug. Or get involved with an unscrupulous myst... well, listen to this cautionary tale. Listen to "Murder and the Medium".
