Enjoy another episode of The Whistler, hosted by Mel.

Episode Description: Ken Braderick and Tom Barton had been inseparable since boyhood — until Ken married Helen, a woman determined to break the bond. Helen never trusted Tom’s pale, brooding influence or his lofty dreams of literary greatness, especially when those dreams kept Ken tied to Florida instead of chasing opportunity in New York.

With one well-placed letter, she set their future in motion, pulling Ken northward and leaving Tom — and St. Augustine — behind. On the night of February 23rd, all three stand on the edge of a farewell that carries far more weight than any of them realize...

Episode Description:

Randy Dean isn’t like other newspapermen. While the rest of the press room runs on chaos and coffee, he lives by the clock — precise, cautious, and planned down to the last white shirt.

Now a top syndicated columnist with a publisher’s daughter for a wife, Randy believes nothing in his carefully mapped life can go off-schedule.

But a man who controls everything seldom sees what he can’t control coming…

On The Whistler Radio Channel — a classic double header of suspense. TWO Whistler Episodes back-to-back:

"The Sell Out" Originally aired on07/29/1946

Babe stood on the platform in front of the sideshow tent while Duke worked the crowd, flashing her most professional smile at the sea of faces below.

Every so often, she reserved a more personal wink for the tall, gray-haired man with the carnation in his buttonhole. Babe was a sharp girl—she could spot money a mile away—and the man with the carnation had plenty of it.

"Delivery Guaranteed" Originally aired on 08/19/1946

Philip Linden is counting down the final hours before what he’s convinced will be a perfect escape — a remote mountain retreat where he and Cathy can finally reset their troubled marriage.

The heat of the city only fuels his feverish hope for peace, control, and a new beginning far from watchful eyes.

But when love turns into obsession, even paradise can cast a shadow… and some getaways aren’t meant to save you — they’re meant to corner you.

On The Whistler Radio Channel — a classic double header of suspense. TWO Whistler Episodes back-to-back:

"The Brass Ring" Originally aired on 09/16/1946

Babe stood on the platform in front of the sideshow tent while Duke worked the crowd, flashing her most professional smile at the sea of faces below. Every so often, she reserved a more personal wink for the tall, gray-haired man with the carnation in his buttonhole. Babe was a sharp girl—she could spot money a mile away—and the man with the carnation had plenty of it. It never hurt to be friendly with the customers, especially the well-heeled ones like dapper, middle-aged Mr. Bundy, gazing up at her with stars in his eyes.

"Stranger in The House" Originally aired on 09/02/1946

Helen decided she might as well be honest with herself—the suspense was wearing her down. It had been six long years since her brother Ted left for the Orient on that government mission, just before Pearl Harbor. Somewhere between Manila and Shanghai, he was still out there—alive or dead. And now, Helen found herself wishing for any kind of message, even one bearing the worst news. Anything would be better than the endless waiting… better than not knowing at all.

On The Whistler Radio Channel — a classic double header of suspense. TWO Whistler Episodes back-to-back:

"Backfire" Originally aired on 10/28/1946

It’s a thin line between love and hate—and Carl walks it every minute he’s with Amy. There’s a blind, burning rage inside him, fighting to break free as he sits behind the wheel, driving her to her secret meetings with Terry. He listens to her use the same words she once whispered to him, hears her lie to her husband, Arnold… and knows he can’t say a word. But one thought never leaves his mind—sooner or later, somehow, he’s going to kill her.

"Weak Sister" Originally aired on 10/14/1946

Matilda stood at the window, staring uneasily toward the old burial ground at the foot of the hill. A small knot of villagers clustered around the open grave of Captain Heaton Haskell. She often watched from this spot, peering through the dingy lace curtains—but today was different. Today, the Captain was being laid to rest. There was a strange pull in it for her, a timid sort of fascination that flickered behind her pale blue eyes. So intent was she on the scene below that she didn’t hear her older sister, Amanda, step quietly up behind her.

Hey Friends! Tonight's episode of The Whistler titled "12 Portraits of Marcia" originally aired on January 21, 1948.

🎙️Episode description: Step into the shadows of the artist’s studio with The Whistler Podcast, hosted by Mel. Tonight’s story, “Twelve Portraits of Marcia” (originally aired January 21, 1948), is a haunting portrait of love, ambition, and the secrets that live in brushstrokes. Ralph Winston, a struggling painter, has spent years painting his devoted muse, Marcia. Twelve portraits later, his obsession has turned toxic — and when ambition curdles into murder, the canvas becomes a confession.

Enter Sydney Selfton, a cunning art dealer who reads those portraits like a diary of guilt... and turns them into the ultimate exposé. Join Me as I unpack this chilling masterpiece from The Whistler’s golden age — exploring its hidden psychology, twisted moral, and timeless question: 🎨 Can art ever truly hide the artist’s soul?

Hey Friends! I'm back with one of the most popular episodes of The Whistler titled "Quiet Sunday" originally aired on June 10, 1946

🎙️Episode description: This was going to be a quiet Sunday for Henry Parker, peaceful, calm, restful, away from the work and tedium of the office. Just the kind of Sunday Henry always looked forward to during the other hectic days of the week. And more than that, it was a special Sunday, for Henry's wife, Ruth, who was vacationing at their lodge at Lake Arrowhead and wouldn't be home.

That was the best part. It was nice to wake up and not find Ruth there to nag and irritate him. And it was nice, too, to remember that tonight he had a date with Daphne. Daphne was tall and lovely, and Daphne seemed to understand that Henry liked to spend a nice quiet evening. He was contemplating all this when the doorbell rang.

FYI: I introduce the key players before the curtain rises, helping you keep track of who’s who. After the show, stick around for my commentary on the twists, the characters, what was happening during the time of the episode's premiere.
