The Shadow - 239 Episodes of the Old Time Radio Drama

by Old Time Radio

What evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows! This upload contains 239 episodes of the great old time radio drama, The Shadow. The show aired for 22 years, from 1932 to 1954, and followed the exploits of amateur detective Lamont Cranston and his companion Margo Lane. Cranston learned the secret of clouding men's minds to make him invisible, allowing him to become The Shadow and work on the side of law enforcement to prove to young and old alike that crime does not pay! Over the 22 years, Cranston was portrayed by Frank Readick (although none of his 86 episodes appear to have survived), the legendary Orson Welles, Bill Johnstone and Bret Morrison. The lovely Margo Lane was portrayed the exceptional Agnes Moorehead, Marjorie Anderson, Lesley Woods and Grace Matthews. Unfortunately only about 1/3 of aired episodes appear to be currently circulating. The dates, episode numbers and titles are believed to be correct based on available information, but any corrections are welcome. D
