There's nothing better than the programs radio used to broadcast.  The content and the voice-acting had to be first-rate because they couldn't hide behind elaborate sets and costumes.

What may have been the most-popular ever serial started as a pulp novel.  What eventually became the main character took two years to evolve and develop.  And their first programs may have been their best.

Lamont Cranston was a wealthy, young man-about-town.  Margo Lane was his constant companion and said to be Cranston's love-interest.

But there may have been more to their relationship.  It was rumored that Cranston and the mysterious crime-fighter, "The Shadow," were connected.  And that Margo Lane knew "The Shadow's" true identity.

Who better than Orson Welles to play the role of Lamont Cranston.  And Agnes Moorhead as Margo Lane.

Enjoy a rebroadcast of a thriller first broadcast in 1937.  A series of explosions have been damaging the Navy's ships.  There's a saboteur on the loose and the government needs help stopping him.

We've got lots more of these old-time radio programs in our library.  Let us know if you'll like to hear more.
