The shadow

I remember riding around on Sunday afternoons listening to Boston Blackie among others. That was dad's favorite. I liked the Green Hornet.

"Turn off the radio and go to sleep!" "Yeah Mom, right after the Lone Ranger." Childhood memory.

Remember it well. How about The Saint, The Whistler, Inner Sanctum, Murder at Midnight, Green Hornet, Big Story, Mr. and Mrs. North? And others too many to remember in my fading memory. As you can tell I have been and still am a murder/mystery/thriller fan.
On the lighter side: Life With Luigi, Jack Benny, Life of Riley, Ozzie and Harriet, Fibber McGee and Molly, etc.

I grew up with them all. Let's not forget "Gang Busters", eh?

My last name is LAMONT, so you can guess that my nickname growing up was "The Shadow".
That worked until Sanford and Son came along, LLOL

You really are making me feel old. I remember just about all of them. That and it is foggy outside. Guess I'll just be a grump the rest of the morning until the sun comes out.

I would listen to the programs on the radio back in the day. Now I download old radio programs from the 30s, 40s and 50s from different websites. I then copy them to an MP3 player and listen to them during the day. Yesterday I listened to a couple episodes of the Tales of the Texas Rangers with Joel McCrea. Recently I listened to Boston Blackie and Sam Spade among others.
I also like to download Car Talk with "Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers", aka Tom and Ray Magliozzi, which NPR still broadcasts each Saturday morning even though they are reruns from earlier years. Yes, I know Tom passed away a couple of years ago. From what I hear, NPR is going to stop broadcasting these old reruns later this year. I have dozens of the programs I downloaded and saved to my computer.

Did you ever notice how many of those characters (and later ones as well) always had a one-syllable first name and a multi-syllable last name: Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, etc. I understand there was some thought of having a program about an Italian psychiatrist who would go around the country solving problems. His name was going to be . . . Id Libido.

As there are at least a couple of Brits on here, like myself, let me take them back to the halcyon days of BBC radio comedy in the war years and the fifties and early sixties. No advertising, and shows that had a full thirty minutes of program in a half-hour show. There's a concept!!
Such shows as ITMA; Much Binding in the Marsh; Billy Cotton band Show; Rays a laugh; Life with the Lyons; Round the Horne ; and others that no doubt I will remember later as my 79yr old mind drifts back all those decades.

The one that drove me crazy, and I kept coming back for more.....The mysterious travelor. He never finished his story.

Cornish Pete reminded me of a BBC show that was broadcast on Armed Forces Radio in the 50's. The Goon Show..too funny!

I remember, Amos and Andy from television but don't recall it being on the radio though it probably was.
Back around 49 or 50 my brother and I would listen to Peggy Lee while laying in bed. We were three or four and we loved her voice. Right after she was off the air the next program was, Mr and Mrs North. The opening music and dialogue scared the living crap out of us and mom would come in and turn off the radio. We didn't have a television then.
