RAS #676 - The Shadow Show

This time on Ron’s Amazing Stories we journey into the shadowy
realms of classic radio, where intrigue and mystery reign supreme.
Today, we are thrilled to bring you two tales featuring "The
Shadow," a legendary figure from the annals of radio drama known
for his unparalleled crime-fighting prowess. "The Shadow" first
cast its enigmatic presence in the 1930s, captivating audiences
with tales of suspense and justice. Initially introduced as a
narrator, the character quickly became a sensation, evolving into a
standalone series. By 1937, with the iconic Orson Welles assuming
the role of Lamont Cranston, aka The Shadow, the show took on a
life of its own, becoming a staple of American entertainment until
1954. In today’s episode, we delve into two gripping stories from
the 1939 season, a period that marked a transition with Bill
Johnstone stepping into the role of The Shadow. These tales not
only showcase The Shadow's relentless pursuit of justice but also
highlight the character's profound impact on the world of pop
culture and superheroes. So, sit back, relax, and let the mystique
of "The Shadow" envelop you as we transport you to a world where
the line between good and evil is tantalizingly blurred. Enjoy the
