"The Whistler" was an American radio program running for a total of 13 years from May 16, 1942 until September 22, 1955. It was one of the most popular mystery drama's of its' time. Signal Oil Company sponsored the program. The marketing catch phrase was: "Let that whistle be your signal for the Signal Oil program, The Whistler."

Other directors included Sterling Tracy and Sherman Marks with final scripts by Joel Malone and Harold Swanton. 692 total episodes were produced. Over 200 of those episodes can not be found and are no longer in existence.
The Whistler always finishes his stories with fatalistic relish, and "the strange ending to tonight's story" is rarely what one expects. In the world of The Whistler, fate has a few speedbumps for the hasty acts of the foolish! Those with a taste for crime and the macabre will enjoy the world of The Whistler.

Thx to everyone for the support! : ) I am working hard behind the scenes searching for more vintage high quality material to post! I have recently monetized this channel with "fan funding" which will help in my efforts to add more pre-50's entertainment and content on a regular basis!

So happy to have found these....I used to listen to these with my grandpa when I was a kid (and that was in the '70s). He passed away a few years ago...this brings back happy memories 😊

Also, keep in mind that gentleman who provided The Whistler's musical orchestrations, Wilbur Hatch, worked on a far more successful show, I Love Lucy...

Go to American Radio Classics web page and click on the picture of the old radio. Then look for The Whistler. They have just about every episode.

Just heard a bit of this in the film "THE TWO JAKES" and wondered what the show was. Thanks for posting an episode!

[@princeharming8963]

This was broadcast right at 70 years ago... and it still holds up. Brilliantly done!

[@peterguit]

thanx for posting. I've always been a big fan of this show. I'm still looking for the episode of the hit and run driver and of the man with the many voices.

[@SexyStudChris]
