The Shadow - "Cold Death" (Old Time Radio)

from The Shadow | Old Time Radio Hosted by Old Time Retro Radio

The Shadow presents “Cold Death,” originally broadcast on December 19, 1937. This Christmas-season episode is identified as script no. 13 and is also cataloged as episode #099. Orson Welles stars as Lamont Cranston/The Shadow, with Agnes Moorehead as Margo Lane, in this Mutual Broadcasting System broadcast sponsored by Blue Coal. Shortly before Christmas, Cranston investigates Carverville, a mill town ruled by its powerful owner, Daniel Carver. With reporters shut out and workers facing bitter cold, poverty, and unsafe homes, the Shadow confronts a grim situation with a distinctly Dickensian moral atmosphere. The Shadow presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
