My grandpa use to listen The Shadow when he was a little kid, and when I told him I was listening to it I could see his face light up, and without missing a beat he said "The Shadow knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men." It's awesome to see how generations can enjoy these stories.
As someone fairly young who has shunned social media and TV, I sincerely thank you for these uploads! Old radio shows and books are my absolute favorite forms of entertainment!
I just learned of The Shadow through UA-camr, The Rageaholic/Razerfist and tried to find a good podcast channel that uploaded the Radio Series. Alas, none had a very organized library of said episodes. I thank you for doing just that! Can’t wait to listen to these!
My dad used to listen to this radio show when he was a kid and then while I was a kid. He would quote various lines and sometime act out some of the scenes. I love this program just as much as my father.
I think the Shadow is better. Had Batman not fought the Joker, why would we care about Batman? The Shadow has no arch nemesis? Even Rocky and Bullwinkle had overarching enemies.
@@notmadheardthingsinhell8079 The Shadow did have an archenemy, but only in the magazine stories, never on the radio show or the movies from the 1930s and '40s. His name was Shiwan Khan, a Chinese villain who claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan himself, and was always plotting to conquer the world. Shiwan Khan did, however, appear in the movie "The Shadow" (1994) with Alec Baldwin and Penelope Ann Miller. I think John Lone played Khan. My mom liked the film, although most of the critics didn't. I think the Shadow had another archenemy in the magazine stories, an international spy or something, who was missing a finger. I don't remember his name, though.
Watched the 90s movie when I was a kid and always been intrigued by the character, so I decided to look for the radio show and here its, thanks to you!
Its very atmospheric, and i love the old fashioned unsophisticated chippy recording. Basic good fun and nice scripts, for want of a better description. I really liked the effort DC comics made in the 1970s, to bring the character back. I was inyrigued by the retro style of character. So couldnt wait for the film to come out in the 90s, good, but it wasn't gritty enough, too much Hollywood gloss, yet Alex Baldwin was a great Cranston/Shadow.😊😊🤔
I discovered The Shadow in the 80's when i was in college. I would be up late studying and there was a radio station that would play an episode around midnight on certain days. Loved it. Now i use it to relax so i can fall asleep.
I used to listen to these stories when my Mother had turned me on to them when I was younger.these stories helped me To enjoy going to sleep listening to them &of course when I was awake in the afternoons I would listen to enjoy them More than watching tv when I was younger.
Season 1 episode #1 9/26/37 (less than 2 years prior to Hitler’s Polish invasion) With the incredibly young Genius Orson Wells....only 23 yikes, and he never rehearsed 😅 And the wonderful Agnes_Moorehead as Margo, “Bewitched” mom😃 Thank you the UA-cam post👍
You are a godsend. Ive not even heard this series since i was a child(i'm really too young to have heard this show naturally, barely being thirty). My grandfather used to have this show on cassette tape, and we'd listen to them on longer road trips.
Recently purchased a bunch of reprints of the original Shadow pulp novels. Really love the character. Thank you for uploading this. The Welles episodes are by far my favorites.
I listen to the shadow on the radio myself I'm 78 years old I remember the shadow and I always like the way it started with who knows what evil lurks in the heart of men the shadow knows and then he laughed great show
Thank you Kent Alfred. My Mom, many decades ago, bought me a collection of Shadow cassettes and I've been in love with this character ever since. Taught me honor and the benefit of hard work. Sadly, the lessons of respect for law no longer exists in society or by it's leaders. I have the majority of the Shadow on CD's from Radio Spirits but not all. I listen to these broadcasts on youtube while doing computer/room work. Thank you for posting.
"Sadly, the lessons of respect for law no longer exists in society or by its leaders." I know what you mean, and ironically the ones who have the least respect for the rule of law these days are the same ones who always say they believe in law and order -- THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! Of course, we have a certain former President to thank for that! Donald Trump was a crooked businessmen, a crooked hotel owner, a crooked casino owner (every casino he owned he ran into the ground), and a crooked president. Now, he's been accused of even worse offenses, including stealing government documents, espionage, inciting an insurrection against the United States Government itself, and possibly high treason. Yet, his fellow MAGA Republicans (Greene, Boebert, Abbott, DeSantis, Youngkin, McCarthy, Graham, Gaetz, Cruz, Moore, Hawley, etc) are calling for violence against law enforcement officers, including the FBI! So much for law and order. The trouble is we don't exactly know the full extent of Trump's crimes, or those of his cronies and supporters, including the people I just listed. I'll bet if the Shadow took on this case, he'd get to the bottom of this whole racket.
In 1973 there was a radio station that played these old shows. For 3 months while the house was repaired ( a fire) we lived in our 28’ RV trailer. My kids actually like the scary shows more the TV Funny seeing them hide under their blanket at times. Also I was in the dark house rewiring it An listening to Intersanctum. My wife came up to me an said Dinners ready. I jumped damn near to the ceiling from a sitting position on a bucket. ahahaha it’s funny afterwards
Every so often, I recall The Shadow and regain my interest in reading or listening to his tales. It's nice to find such a large collection of media to listen to!
Thank you for bringing me back in time well after the show aired, listening on am in 1983 as a 14 yr old and I would stay up far too late on school nights and be exhausted in the morning but do it again the following night. It must of taken you forever to compile all these amazing episodes. Well, I Thank you for your incredibly hard and long work.
I discovered the Shadow as a primary source for the 1982 FGU rpg 'DAREDEVILS' - Roleplaying action & adventure in the two-fisted thirties'. The Shadow, in cape, hat & wielding a handgun features among others in the cover art for the game box & rules booklet. From the rules booklet: 'No one knows the identity of The Shadow. Cloaked in black, his face obscured by his wide-brimmed slouch hat, and only faintly illumined by the glow from the fire-opal girasol in his ring, The Shadow is a figure of sinister mystery even to his associates. When not suited-up for blending into the darkness, the man known as The Shadow may assume several identities (Lamont Cranston, man about town; Kent Allard, explorer and financier). But neither of these faces show the true identity of the Dark Avenger. That is a secret that naturally, 'Only The Shadow Knows.''
I'm a huge Fallout fan, the "Silver Shroud" quest/radio plays made me curious about his pop culture origin. I don't know how many episodes I'll get through tonight, but I'm gonna be listening all day at work tomorrow.
I know, right? I mean I got tired of red coal and green coal. This blue stuff is awesome! The servicemen also happen to be the smurfs, which is even cooler!
Most of the episodes from 1949 to 1954 have been lost somehow, and so have some of the earlier stories too. The only episode from the 1950s that still exists is "The Vengeance Of Angela Nolan" (1954). Brett Morrison played Lamont Cranston/the Shadow and Gertrude Warner was Margo Lane. She played the role longer than any of the other actresses who portrayed Cranston's "friend and companion" (Agnes Moorhead, Margo Stevenson, Grace Matthews, etc), and yet, the "Angela Nolan" episode is the only one of her "Margo Lane" performances that can still be heard today through cassettes, vinyl records, C.D.s, social media, and so on.

It certainly is Orson Welles, and the voice of Paul Gordon, the young man who's been falsely convicted of murder, was, ironically, done by William Johnstone, who replaced Welles as the Shadow's voice. One of the two crooks (I forget which one) who framed Paul Gordon was played by Elia Kazan, who went on to become a great movie director.

I have my Mother's 'Shadow' ring. She passed away a year ago at 90. The ring is an ivory colour with the blue coal at center top. I think it glows in the dark although I've never checked on that. I am willing to sell it. Google for it's worth. Thanks.
He definitely hypnotizes people into not seeing him. Remember that before each episode, the announcer who introduced the story always started off with a brief explanation of how Lamont Cranston obtained the powers that turns him into the Shadow: "Years ago in the Orient, Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret, the hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so that they cannot see him." I hope this answers your question.
jennifur sun I don't recall them covering the Shadow's origin story in the radio series, but there are 200+ surviving episodes, and I haven't gotten around to listening to them all yet. The Shadow book series by Maxwell Grant (on which this show is based) covers this in great detail.
You can still buy the pulp novel reprints, and ebooks are floating around the internet.

'The Shadow' was my father's favorite radio program growing up. This is the first time I've ever been able to hear it. Thanks for posting.
The Shadow is now officially my favorite hero dating from the 1930s, equal to his most famous expy, The Batman.
I love that type of hero from that era. Hell sometimes I wish I could be like the Shadow, but sadly I cannot. Reality is far too interesting for that.
batman is a cheap knock of the shadow if walter gibson and conde nast had been on their game batman would have been crushed under the shadows boot
He really is a badass character, with some rare abilities . I feel like he is underused in the super hero world .
I think the Shadow is better. Had Batman not fought the Joker, why would we care about Batman? The Shadow has no arch nemesis? Even Rocky and Bullwinkle had overarching enemies.

When does The Shadow team up with The Batman and The Silver Shroud?

He definitely hypnotizes people into not seeing him.
