the SHADOW knows mu wha ha ha ha ha
Today in MYSTERY HISTORY tells us that today is the 85th anniversary of the debut of The Shadow on The Detective Radio Hour. I learned about the Shadow (and the Whistler and A Tale Well-Calculated to Keep you in . . . SUSPENSE!) listening to the Armed Forces Network when we lived in Germany in the late 1970s. On Sunday evenings they'd play classic radio shows like these mysteries and Jack Benny. I can still see that green galley kitchen with the funny little pull-out table, and the clock radio on the windowsill. And probably a dog somewhere.

Today in MYSTERY HISTORY
Do you habitually read This Day in History in your newspaper? And if you read Crime Pays, you must enjoy crime fiction. If you respond to both statements in the affirmative, then check out this fun blog maintained by Robert Lopresti. Follow the blog by email and you will get a daily notice with some interesting fact about a work of crime fiction, an author, a mystery TV show or film, or some other piece of mystery ephemera.
Even without the charmingly rhyming title, this blog would be a treat. And to top it off, Lopresti is from Bellingham, Washington, which is otherwise probably meaningless to most of us except that it is hometown of my graduate school friend Isa.
