Only buy Blue Coal coal

[Nicolai0Nerland]

Oh bloody commercials...

[1joker88]

3:48 "Well I'm from Missouri"? What is that supposed to mean?

[MagesGuild]

@1joker88 It meas 'You have to *show me*...'. 

[1joker88]

@MagesGuild  Oh okay, thank you!

[1joker88]

Haha, listening to this on New Year's Day!

The Shadow's ability to "cloud men's minds" came about on the radio because of time constraints that didn't allow for explanations of where the Shadow was hiding. The Shadow in the magazine stories had no special powers. To be honest, I like this Shadow better. It's kind of cool thining about being able to become invisible.

[Glinkaism1]

Thanks for posting! Love this!

Where can I get a set of Goodrich Safety Silvertown Tires?

Think of how advanced this was, a rich young dude, with a girl that's not his wife?

[MrDukemeister]

CHUM FM in Toronto used to play old time radio shows every Sunday at 11PM and the Sunday Funnies at 10PM. And of course, Q107 had the Sunday Night Sex Show from 8 to 10PM. So Sundays used to be my radio nights. Damn I miss them!

[dickmit]

@MrDukemeister I used to love Sunday nights on Q! Do you remember Johnny Spadina and the Pink Flamingo Room, or do you not go back quite that far?

[MrDukemeister]

@dickmit I was born in1975 and didn't start listening to Q until my mother did in the late 80s so I can't place Johnny Spadina. But Q used to really relevant in the early 90s. They were playing modern rock for the time and Derringer used to do the Six O'Clock Rock Report but I can't remember the name of the co-host. And remember Barometer at 1PM. I used to listen to that during lunch in high school. It was good stuff!

[dickmit]

@MrDukemeister Yeah, it was a bit before your time. Johnny Spadina and the Pink Flamingo room was the show that used to be on Q in the late 70's, before they replaced it with the Sunday Night Sex Show with Sue Johannson. Spadina's was a phone-in show that also played music, catering mostly to young people like I was then. I absolutely loved it. It led perfectly into Theatre of the Mind, my first exposure to The Shadow! Good memories! Thanks for bringing it back.

[MrDukemeister]

@dickmit I heard that Mark Daly of CITY was the first morning show host on the Q. I don't think radio and tv will be the same - it's all corporate conglomarates now. Rush did their song Spirit of Radio about the Edge playing songs the mainstream wouldn't touch and CITY turned cheap tv into an artform. Speaking of the Spirit of Radio, I saw Nash the Slash perform his score for the old silent horror film Nosteratu at the Bloor years ago. Good stuff! It's the weird stuff that stays.

[tanukioh]

I'd listen to stuff like this on radio for hours if I could find it.

[Mykittyisaninja]

they need to bring back radio show like this!

[pocketmego]

The Shadow would easily be as big now as Batman has become, if Conde Nast hadn't strangled the character into almost obscurity!

Only the exceptional quality of the character has kept him from fading to nothing.

Doc Savage is in even worse shape, although thankfully Doc has a current running comic series. The Shadow has nothing going on right now. Although there is the Sam Rami film rumor...

[globalman]

This is great.....have not heard these since early '50s. Such a clear recording...how great. Wonderful actors. Thank you.

[DarkYamiYugi]

Yay, one of my favorite eps!!!

i know the shadow because of my mom and my ginea pig. my ginea pig name was shadow and i my mom said sometimes "the shadow knows" to shadow. I ask her where it came from and she told me. I got curoius, research it and now i love the shadow.

I the shadow is soooooo awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ibtnm25]

I have alot of the old ones. I love them.

[Jeffzkrazie]

Hey I gotta question, is there anybody in here who is under the age of 30 who likes OTR? I'm saying this because I'm 22 years old and I LOVE OLD TIME RADIO, it helps me with my imagination (always has quite frankly lol) and I was looking for people my age to chat about OTR.

[globalman]

@Jeffzkrazie thank you for writing this. It consoles me as a man who listened to these shows as a boy (born 1946). You used the one point that I have thought since years. As much as I am a product of TV and Cinema I believe Radio stimulated intelligent thought and "imagaination" rather than being bomarded with someone else's imagination and view of things.

[ladylucky123]

@Jeffzkrazie hey ya I love alot of the OTR, I am 22 as well and quite enjoy these show. I only recently started listening to them, great imagination.

[Steeple333]

@Jeffzkrazie Me! =) My grandparents had a huge collection of them, but mostly Dragnet, The Shadow, and Suspense! Those were the best~

[Aaron3232m]

@Jeffzkrazie same age but what is OTR!? still stuck on the Gramophonics !

[Solitaire13]

@Aaron3232m

OTR = Old Time Radio

[KyaCrow]

I'm under 25ys and when I was in junior high/gr 6 I stayed up till 12 when this am radio talk show would start these old radio shows and ironically I started to read this book with the main characters nick name is Captain Bob but his favourite thing to do is listen to the shadow it even has bits of episodes I had heard of already

I'm totally hooked thanks for such a clear copy!! :) ;)

I very much a gre

[MonkEjoey]

We need to somehow immortalize this. You will NEVER find this on today radio.

[KyaCrow]

@MonkEjoey Totally agree with you!!

[rglinNewMex]

I didn't learn about The Shadow from my grandmother as some of have said. I'm an old SOB and I rememberf The Shadow on my own. He was a Sunday night regular on our Zenith cabinet-style radio with a dial just like this one.

[TralfazConstruction]

@rglinNewMex: My dear, late-Mother regaled me with her recollections of those Radio shows of her childhood. Now I listen to Radio Classics on XM Radio Channel 164 and I imagine that I'm hearing the programs as Mom did when she was 10 years old. The writing for the majority of the programs is quite intelligent.

[MonkEjoey]

this is just awesome. THANK YOU for posteing.

[SkullCowboy333]

The shadow is the kind of hero we need more of.

[RandRdriver]

I love these radio shows but the volume is so lacking. I have got this turned way UP and I still can barely hear it. Dang. It's a radio show. No Video. We NEED to HEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hippojuice23]

I actually think that the sound quality enchances the spooky vocal effect!

[Tupac5511]

coolest show on earth

[Dill8899]

Im fifteen also. my grandma has told me stories about this. This is just too cool.

[Dill8899]

Wow awesome, my grandma told me stories about this

[Jackalman99]

Sounds like Jack Grimes and his obsession with immortality.

[Deltar2r]

[ConalCochran]

My favorite Bill Johnstone episode!!! Thanks very much for uploading!

[deloreanized]

Priceless!! Thank you sooooooo much...

[Herr12]

Thank you very much for this.

[fromthesidelines]

This episode, featuring Bill Johnstone as "The Shadow" {aka "Lamont Cranston"} and Agnes Moorehead as "Margo Lane", was first heard on January 1, 1939. This version, however, is the 1939 syndicated summer edition of the program, sponsored by B.F. Goodrich {they also sponsored the 1938 summer season featuring Orson Welles}. There's space in the opening for a local announcer to say something like, "BFG Tire Company, 30 Main Street, your local Goodrich "Safety Silvertown" dealer, presents..."

[spectergohan]

cool.
