Will's Book Nook: The Whistler Scribblings

The Whistler, a mystery anthology series, was one of the longest running radio shows on the west coast and aired on CBS from 1942-1955. A mysterious character named The Whistler (played by various actors) was the host and narrator. The story usually involved a crime or other mystery to be solved, with The Whistler knowing what the characters were going to do before they did and acting as their conscience. Many famous Hollywood actors, like Cary Grant and Boris Karloff, got their start on the series. The Whistler was known for his catch phrase, "I am The Whistler and I know many things, for I walk by night."
