Subject: Suggested Episodes
I'd suggest the first episode as a good beginning. You might also listen to "Death Rides A Broomstick" and "Nursery Rhyme Murders." You'll hear three of the Shadows: Welles, Bill Johnstone, and Bret Morrison. I'm partial to the Bill Johnstone episodes and the Welles "Goodyear" episodes. "Death from the Deep" was the episode that got me hooked on the Shadow when I was in 6th grade, so perhaps that would be an episode you'd enjoy.
The Australian episodes are also interesting to listen to.

Well, lets just reminisce about our crappy lives...
Suggest episodes, please.

Subject: The Shadow lives again
These have got to be some of my favorite radio. The Shadow series inspired me to start a new show that spotlights them, and other great Old Time Radio.
Love to hear your thoughts:

Subject: Well, actually
Capital letters notwithstanding, James LaCurto was the first actor to portray The Shadow in his narrator days. Readick took over from him. Orson Welles carried the role better than any other performer, though in all fairness the scripts were best during his tenure. The later years became a long, slow, sad decline as the series drifted away from the excellent pulp series that defines the character.
Still, one of the all-time classic programs. Many of these are sadly overcompressed, but it's great to have them in one place!

Subject: The Shadow's Voice
Contrary to what has so often and so erroneously been posted both here and elsewhere Orson Welles was NOT the first person to voice the Shadow. That honor goes to Frank Readick---and it was HIS voice you heard saying "Who knows what Evli lurks in the hearts of Men" throughout Welles' time on the show. Readick first spoke the line in 1932 and Welles didn't take over the part until 1937. What SHOULD be said is that Orson was the first actor to voice Lamont Cranston.
But my Uncle Bret played the part LONGEST. Oh I have added some Australian episodes of The Shadow to the Archive,,,just search for The Shadow in Australia

Subject: Old Time Radio Shows
Growing up in the 1960's, rural Pennsylvania mountains, Entertainment came only 4 ways.
(This was pre-cable/Satellite/vcr/dvd/etc)
Broadcast TV...no good...3 channels
The Bookmobile's Monthly visit. Cool, but not a winner.
Purchase of Records/LP's (not cost effective for a 10 yr old with a $.50 (cents) a week allowance.
Or listen to the radio. One Fall evening camping out we took along a "Transistor Radio" with a 1/2 dozen 9 volt (Little rectangular, with +/- snaps on one end) batteries. As the fire burned out, the food all eaten, the stories all told, we looked for something to amuse ourselves. We tuned in to the weather, and following the weather we were astonished to hear "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The shadow knows" We had no clue this was an old radio show. It became a weekly event to listen to the news and weather, and then The Shadow! It was a few years later e learned from our venerable Scout Leader that HE TOO grew up with The Shadow... We found other radio stories, like Richard Diamond, Private Detective, But NONE had the impact that The Shadow had on an impressive young imagination.

Subject: To the 16 year old,
I love these Shadow shows, too. My favorite old radio show has to be Pat Novak: For Hire. It's the best hard-boiled detective show I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. Do you have a list of your top 10 Shadow episodes? If so, please post!
Reviewer: 101tasm - - January 1, 2008
Subject: Old Time Radio Shows
I am 16 and I know almost all the Shadow episodes by heart, as well as all the Our Miss Brooks, Dragnet, Amos And Andy, Burns and Allen, Suspense, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, Sam Spade, Boston Blackie, The Whistler, Jack Benny, Red Skelton, Bob Hope, My Friend Irma, My Favorite Husband,Gangbusters, Mystery In The Air, Dimension X, etc - shows completely (I can recite the lines). It sounds crazy b/c I'm so young, but I grew up soley listening to old radio recordings on cassettes, and no tv. This is not something I normally tell anyone, but if you're visiting this site, you must like the program . . . listen to the other old programs! I can answer any questions about them, or the people/comedians/speakers.
