ON THE AIR: January 1, 1939
Yes, this is a rerun of a rerun of a rerun (well, you get the idea). I will be starting a new series in 2025. I hope you'll tune in. In the meantime, enjoy "The Man Who Murdered Time" and put 2024 (almost) to rest.

ON THE AIR: 1964/1968
This is an odd entry for our final visit to the radio realm of The Shadow. This never aired but instead was recorded in 1964 and released on an album in 1968. It did reunite Bret Morrison, Grace Matthews and Santos Ortega as Commissioner Weston. Ken Roberts returned to be the "Announcer". There is a bit more info here. In the meantime enjoy "The Computer Calculates, The Shadow Knows".

"The Vengeance of Angela Nolan" brings to an end the available episodes from the original run of The Shadow. There were 26 episodes after this one. I'll play one from 1964 next week, but I don't really know the provenance of the episode. I hope these have been a pleasant trip back into the days when radio ruled.

Wills and eccentrics just don't mix. Throw in a nearby zoo and chaos & crime soon take center stage. Enter The Shadow and Margot to bring sense to the senseless. Tune into "Monkey Woman" and find out how our hero tames the savage beast.

If you are looking for an episode that features the most ridiculous set of circumstances then this one is for you. Give "Death and the Easter Bonnet" a listen, if you dare.

Be careful when you hoodwink the natives, it may come back to bite you in the neck. Take a listen to "The Ring of Mahalalayee" and hear for yourself.

A second wife that can't be trusted. A trusted lieutenant who can't be trusted. A gambling czar who can't trust anyone. The one thing you can trust is that The Shadow will sort out the whole, sordid affair. The affair titled "Unto Death Do Us Part".

Ham actors and prop weapons come to a head and the director of "The Trail of the Knifer" pays the price. Who is the killer? Why does the villain want to bring down this production. Listen and be entertained by one of the last surviving episodes we have available for our listening pleasure. Enjoy.

Margot may lose her head (or at least the hair covering it) if The Shadow doesn't save her from yet another crazy old couple. Tune into this hair raising adventure titled "The Wig Makers of Doom Street".

You may notice that the announcer calls this episode "Phantom Racketeer", but the script was written "The Phantom Racketeer". Just a little trivia. This episode features a duplicitous female. I know, I know... shocking! You'll just have to take a listen to find out who the bad gal is.

It starts with a ringing phone and ends with the answer to a crossword clew. What happens in between? You'll just have to tune into "Death is a Colored Dream" to find out.
