Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another edition of Radio Daze! This episode features one of the more popular mystery series in the era of old radio! Airing mostly on the West Coast (then rebroadcast nationwide), “The Whistler” featured the iconic opening sequence as well as narration by the legendary Bill Foreman. Unlike contemparies such as “Suspense” “The Whistler” featured stories that often featured a devious individual as the protaganist whose plans almost always go awry during the program’s thirty minute runtime. Over its thirteen year run (1942-1955) it became one of most popular shows on the air! The episodes I have this week are four shows from 1942. These early episodes are early indicators of the quality of a show that would maintain these standards for well over a decade! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
