The program, loosely adapted from the popular pulp magazine series, told the story of Lamont Cranston, a wealthy young man-about-town who used his hypnotic powers to cloud men's minds so that they could not see him, fighting crime as an Invisible Avenger known only as The Shadow.

Karl Schadow, an unsung hero in the field of old time radio research, first discovered this program while browsing a number of vintage trade periodicals. Recently, Karl was kind enough to share his e-mails from perhaps ten years ago, heralding his discovery, and the responses from a number of Shadow fans who encouraged him to continue digging into the facts.
What I was able to unearth about the MacGregor and Sollie transcriptions is featured in the book. I held nothing back. I was also given a rare opportunity to temporarily house a private collection of MacGregor and Sollie archives and it was that collection that unearthed [the answers to] some of the biggest mysteries, including cast names, brief plot summaries for The Shadow program, and cast names for Doc Savage , another transcription series, which was considered by one Doc Savage historian as a Holy Grail.
Can any one person be assigned that credit, or was his creation more an evolutionary process? How much does The Shadow owe to previous pulp or radio characters? A: The radio program evolved over the years. But Gibson created a Shadow character that combated crime, far different from the radio incarnation.
In an attempt to add realism and a connection between the two, Gibson incorporated into a number of The Shadow novels The Shadow's use of a private radio broadcast to send coded messages. The radio program ultimately added coded messages of its own. The radio program first used Margot Lane as the female hero, later incorporated into the pulps. So, in short, both the novels and the radio program inspired and influenced each other. Did it really, or were there subtle changes continuing that aren't apparent until you look at the whole program's run?
A: The program did remain stable. What makes the program unique, when compared to other radio programs, was the number of staff writers. Ellery Queen wrote mysteries. Alonzo Deen Cole wrote horror stories. This is why the show wasn't cookie cutter format. One week The Shadow could be combating racketeers trying to muscle into an orphanage. The next week The Shadow could be foiling the scheme of a mad scientist and his monsters in a cabin in the woods.
The next week The Shadow could be venturing to an island to investigate voodoo. The next week The Shadow could be warning the town of a crooked politician, having found evidence to expose him. During the early fifties, Communist agents were becoming more frequent as well. But the format of the program remained fairly consistent throughout the program's run.
How do you see this sponsor influence as having shaped the course of the series? A: The sponsor paid for the time slot. The advertising agency representing the sponsor had much more involvement, because they hired the script writers, directors and actors. The only time I found that the sponsor had involvement was the wording of commercials and the rejection of a radio script because it involved a murder in a coal mine.
You also make a good point there, and that is one I have been struggling and complaining about for years.
