Classic Radio Rewind - Episode 77

Step back into the golden age of radio with this week’s episode of Classic Radio Rewind, brought to you by Barry Slinker and the WOTR Radio Network. This installment features two gripping adventures from opposite ends of the old‑time radio universe — a Western mystery and a chilling tale of suspense.

📻 Episode 1: The Adventures of Red Ryder — “Eli Corbin Murdered” (05/07/1942)

Red Ryder and Little Beaver ride straight into trouble when the quiet rancher Eli Corbin is found murdered under suspicious circumstances. As Red digs deeper, he uncovers a web of deceit, hidden motives, and dangerous secrets threatening to tear the community apart. Justice on the frontier is never simple — and this case proves it.

🕵️ Episode 2: The Shadow — “Hounds in the Hill” (02/20/1938)

Lamont Cranston and Margot Lane travel to a remote mountain settlement plagued by eerie howls, strange disappearances, and a legend that has terrified locals for generations. As The Shadow investigates, he discovers that the truth behind the “hounds” is far more sinister — and far more human — than anyone suspects. A classic blend of mystery, atmosphere, and psychological tension.
