The Whistler
Volume 6
 
Audio Clip
 
I am the Whistler and I know many things, for I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak!
 
One of the most important aspects of a show like The Whistler often proved to be its opening. Something different, something engaging was needed to pull listeners into a program, particularly one that did not have much of a recurring cast, save the chilling narrator himself. Even before The Whistler voiced his own well remembered introduction, the show’s entrance had already entranced those listening. Footsteps reverberating off of unseen walls, backed up by a faint, strange tune being whistled. The whistling would grow louder until it finally combined with Wilbur Hatch’s orchestra for a shrill climax. Before The Whistler spoke, the program already had its fans hooked, ready to be thrilled and chilled.
 
The one constant in every story told on The Whistler was its mysterious narrator. Never named, never described, The Whistler hardly ever interfered or even interacted in the stories of dark crime and impending death, and only did so in the first two years. Although multiple actors would portray him, no clues were ever given to who, or even what The Whistler might be. The embodiment of ironic Justice, perhaps, waiting for the final act in which the guilty paid their dues. Or some instrument of Fate, simply there to chronicle the eventual outcome of all poor decisions. Regardless, The Whistler remains one of the most evocative, mysterious characters of classic radio.
 
Listen as The Whistler exposes the darkness of men’s souls in this chilling Radio Archives collection. Thrill to twelve broadcasts from 1943 and 1944 restored to sparkling digital quality.
