The Dogcast: The Shadow Knows! Some Lamont Cranston and Margo Lane for your Old Radio Pleasure!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another Old Radio edition of The Dogcast. In honor of “The Marvels” releasing today, I have for your listening pleasure three episodes of the classic old radio series “The Shadow.” These episodes are from the premier season in 1937 featuring none other than the legendary Orson Welles as the voice of the Shadow, the man who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. Delightfully campy with a solid score and some spooky stories, “The Shadow” is as close to an Old Radio superhero as you’re going to get! So Sayeth The Kendog!

The Dogcast: Some “Black Museum” Old Radio Featuring None Other Than Orson Welles For Your Listening Pleasure!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more old radio fun! This time we’re featuring a classic thriller program from 1952 featuring narration by the legendary Orson Welles. The setting was Scotland Yard’s museum of death, The Black Museum. Welles would take an artifact from the museum and tell the sordid tale of how it got there, usually involving a gruesome murder or some other crime. It’s a novel way of presenting a show and it’s very entertaining. Enjoy these two episodes and enjoy your weekend! So Sayeth The Kendog!

The Dogcast: Some “Suspense” For Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more old radio goodness! This week I thought it would be fun to present a couple of episodes from the legendary series “Suspense.” Starting in the 1940s and running all the way into the 1960s, making it the premiere mystery series on the radio. Luminaries such as Orson Welles, Agnes Morehead, and even Jack Benny took their turns on the famous series and it has a number of classic episodes. Enjoy these two and feel free to comment either below or on my Facebook page! So Sayeth The Kendog!
