The Good Old Days of Radio Show

This is the final episode of Carlton E. Morse's Adventures By Morse syndicated radio serial, The Cobra King Strikes Back. And after 10 weeks of scary adventures in the Cambodia jungles, ancient temples, and gorillas and werewolves, it feels like a hard-earned rescue… but in this type of pulse-pounding, high-octane story, the relief never lasts long.

Today, host John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb uncover another rare find; a long-lost episode of the hit 1940s crime drama “Mr. District Attorney.” This one’s been missing for decades until recently discovered in a private collector’s stash. John and Dr. Webb go into the history behind the series and how it became one of the most popular crime shows of its time. They also talk about why so many East Coast programs from that era vanished.

We're nearing the end of our 10-part adventure Carlton E. Morse 1944 serial in the jungles of Cambodia today. In this chapter, Captain Friday and the crew make a desperate break for it, trying to escape an ancient temple that’s been taken over by a twisted priesthood of men who’ve become something far more savage than human. Their guide, Taquan, a man caught between Western learning and his own fading traditions, leads them through a hollow mountain using swaying suspension ladders, with the so-called “human wolves” closing in behind them.

It’s time to hang out with one of radio’s original troublemakers. In this episode, we’re spinning The Henry Morgan Show from May 16, 1950, hosted by the “bad boy of radio” himself, Henry Morgan. He’s sharp, irreverent, and famous for taking shots at pretty much everything… including his own sponsors (when he actually had them). Morgan’s joined by Art Carney and Arnold Stang, and the show's packed with sketches such as a send-up of personality tests, a bit about a Mother’s Day telegram, and a parody of over-the-top jungle adventure movies.

We've made it to chapter 8 of Carlton E. Morse's Adventures By Morse serial. Things get a lot darker as Captain Friday and the rest of the expedition are holed up inside a remote Cambodian temple, cut off from the outside world. As night falls, the conversation turns to local legends—stories of werewolves, human beasts, and ancient curses—made all the more unsettling by strange howls echoing through the jungle. Another pure pulp cliffhanger that leaves you hanging in the dark.
