The Whistler Radio Classics – Vol. 2

ANNOUNCER: “I am The Whistler…Yes…. I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.” Sound effects were created by Berne Surrey and Gene Twombly. The musical score was by Wilbur Hatch. Starring: Bill Forman, Marvin Miller, Everett Clarke – 16 original network broadcasts, digitally remastered and restored.

The original version of this long-running program was heard in the Pacific and Mountain time zones over CBS as a half-hour, Sunday evening broadcast for the Signal Oil Company. Bill Forman was “The Whistler” in that version, with Marvin Miller as the announcer, (1945-54). Miller also played the part for six months while Forman served in the Army. For a short time the program was produced independently and simultaneously in Chicago, with Everett Clarke as “The Whistler.” Volume two includes 16 full-length half-hour shows with commercials for Signal Oil.
