Jungle Jim! The very name conjures up images of exotic locales, wild beasts and hostile natives. Jungle Jim braved these with the aid of his faithful Hindu companion Kolu as he traveled the wilds of southeastern Asia in search of adventure.
Jungle Jim is best remembered as the star of sixteen Columbia B-movies starring Johnny Weissmuller, fresh off his twelve-year stint as Tarzan, beginning in 1948. But Jungle Jim's history goes back more than a decade.
Produced by Jay Clark and often written by Gene Stafford, The Adventures of Jungle Jim was on the air weekly from 1935 to 1954. A combination of jungle danger and colonial politics, the show brought listeners tales of slave traders, pirates, foreign spies, wild beasts, poachers, hostile tribes, and, during World War II, the Japanese, as Jim often served as an Allied operative. Armed with his trusty .45 automatic, the adventurer searched for lost treasure and investigated such mysteries as ghosts and unknown islands. Throughout it all, Jungle Jim maintained a cool head.
Beginning with Tarzan, the pulp era was full of jungle characters. Jungle Jim is one of the unique ones, in that he wasn't a barely-literate loincloth-clad tree-dwelling wild man, but rather Jim Bradley, a hunter – a "great white hunter" in the mold of heroes of earlier popular fiction such as H. Rider Haggard's Allan Quatermain and Lord John Roxton from Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World.
In 1938, Gerald Mohr, who had a long career in radio, film and television, took over the role of Jungle Jim. In the 1930s, '40s and '50s, Mohr played over 500 parts on the radio, notably Raymond Chandler's hard-boiled detective Philip Marlowe. Series regulars included Jungle Jim's faithful aide, Kolu, a powerful Hindu giant (played by Juano Hernandez), and Lille DeVrille, who served as Jim's femme fatale (played first by Vicki Vola and later, Franc Hale).
This volume contains forty fifteen-minute episodes from 1938, including the conclusion of "The Afghan Hills" (#121-124), the complete "The Ghost of the Java Sea" (#125-145), "Tiger Hunt" (#146-149) and the beginning of "Karnak the Killer" (#150-160), for ten hours of exciting and intelligent adventure. 10 hours. $29.98 Audio CDs / $14.99 Download.

1934 marked the year of publication for a mystery novel entitled “Fer-de-Lance”, and the book’s significance to both the literary world and old-time radio is that it introduced readers and audiences to the fictional detective known as Nero Wolfe, created by American mystery writer Rex Stout. From the 1930s to the 1970s, Stout chronicled the exploits of one of the most popular and beloved of literary sleuths in 33 novels and 39 short stories; a man whose eccentricities transcended what could have been a one-dimensional character and made him an individual of practically flesh-and-blood proportions.
Wolfe was a licensed private detective, but his sleuthing served more as a diversion from his other pursuits: a collector of rare books, a preoccupation with sartorial splendor, a prize-winning horticulturist with a mania for orchids, and a gourmet/gourmand who was once described by his faithful assistant Archie Goodwin as weighing “a seventh of a ton” - about 286 pounds. He had learned that detection was a necessary evil to shore up his frequently depleted financial coffers, though he was loathe to abandon his elegant brownstone at West 35th Street in New York City, preferring to let Goodwin handle the legwork Still, “a man’s gotta eat” -- and Wolfe often left his luxurious, comfortable surroundings (albeit reluctantly) whenever a case he was working on required mobility.
Radio Archives is pleased to present twenty broadcasts of this oft-neglected but immensely entertaining mystery series in this collection. We’ve filled this ten-CD set with newly restored renditions (obtained from the original master discs) of these long-ago broadcasts, and are presented to you in full audio fidelity for your listening pleasure. So sit back and enjoy tantalizing tales of mystery with the man who’s “the smartest and the stubbornest...the fattest and the laziest...the cleverest and the craziest...the most extravagant detective in the world: Nero Wolfe!” 10 hours.

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #46
by Wayne Rogers writing as Grant Stockbridge
Read by Nick Santa Maria. Liner Notes by Will Murray
For two years, Norvell Page and his understudy, Wayne Rogers, alternated on writing the Spider novels. This was after Page came back from a hiatus in the middle of 1937.
During this time, Page turned out some astonishing stories, including the infamous Black Police trilogy, while Wayne Rogers did his best to emulate the kind of fiction that appeared in Terror Tales with overheated novels like The City that Dared Not Eat and When Thousands Slept in Hell.
Then, evidently rested up enough to take full control the series for a while, Norvell Page and his new editor, Loring Dowst, inaugurated a multipart epic that began withRule of the Monster Men, in which Nita van Sloan ended up a helpless cripple.
Nothing is forever in the Spider series––not even death and disfigurement––so before long Nita was back on her feet, while Richard Wentworth, who became a hunted man as a result of the events of The Spider and the Slaves of Hell, fought valiantly to clear his name, issue after thriiling issue. We’ve been releasing this exciting sequence every month since January.
During this five-month ordeal, Wayne Rogers largely sat on the sidelines. But he did return for one last story, The Corpse Broker! Rogers was simultaneously writing the adventures of James Christopher in Operator #5 magazine, as well as sundry Weird Menace stories and the Brother Henry series then running in the back of The Spider. His real name was Archibald Bittner, but he took the pseudonym Wayne Rogers in the early 1930s, after transitioning from being a pulp editor to a full-time fictioneer.
In this novel, victims are struck down by the mysterious malady the newspapers dub the Green Death. This is only the beginning of a daring criminal campaign to take over New York City and turn it into the national capital of crime. Taking on a new identity, Dick Wentworth rises from his secret slum hideout to take on this titanic threat to law and order.
Even at the conclusion of this story, all is not resolved. Resolution will take place in our next exciting Spider audiobook, The Spider and in the Eyeless Legion.
The Corpse Broker proved to be Wayne Rogers’ final Spider novel. It was also one of his best. Listen to it now. Nick Santa Maria brings all the Spidery thrills to life, while Roy Worley reads the short story, Arthur Leo Zagat’s Doc Turner tale, “In This Corner––Kid Death.” 6 hours $23.98 Audio CDs / $11.99 Download.

In 452, Attila the Hun, also known as The Scourge of God, invaded Italy with his barbarian horde. His goal was to sack Rome and then burn it to the ground. The Vatican and all of its treasures appeared lost. Slowly, methodically, Attila and his horde made their way to the Eternal City, looting and burning city after city. Finally, they made camp within a few miles of Rome. It was then that Pope Leo went to bargain with Attila. According to historians of the period, Leo seemed to glow golden. In his hands, the Pope carried a jewel-encrusted box that burned with unholy fire. No one knew what the box contained or why the Pope brought it with him. Whatever that mysterious box contained so frightened Attila that he withdrew his troops and left Rome alone. Attila died soon after his failed attempt to conquer the Eternal City.
Pope Leo’s mysterious box disappears back into the vaults of the Vatican, never to be seen again. Until vague rumors circulate about it surface in Nazi Germany during the final days of World War II - rumors that speak of an experiment that defies all laws of nature. Stories involving an ancient race of vampires known as the Very Old Folk.
In The Armageddon Box, Alex Warner and his bride, Valerie Lancaster, the two survivors of the Devil's Auction, find themselves engaged in a desperate hunt for Pope Leo's mysterious treasure box. Aligned against them are a secret religious order known as the Circumcellions, and a demonic Neo-Nazi superman who calls himself Dietrich Vril. It’s a wild mix of high adventure and black magic as Alex and Valerie struggle to discover the incredible secret contained in the Armageddon Box. 7 hours $27.98 Audio CDs / $13.99 Download.
The sequel to The Devil's Auction. A friend's brutal murder brought the seemingly worthless book into Alex Warner's possession. He had no idea that it held the secret to an age-old mystery and key to unimaginable power. But he discovered that quick enough as he found himself the target of a secret religious cult and a strange Neo-Nazi superman with incredible powers.
With Valerie Lancaster, Alex must follow the trail of the book from Chicago's back alleys to an impregnable Swiss fortress, and learn the hidden history of an ancient race of vampires and their ties with Nazi Germany. Only then would he learn how to open the Armageddon Box.

Death walks the world in an iron garb and sleeps in the dismal caves of Hell! Stahlmaske once more roams the Front — and the bodies of the damned lie strewn in his wake! The Master Spy calls on his courage and wits to battle the forces of Hate! G-8 and his Battle Aces rode the nostalgia boom ten years after World War I ended. These high-flying exploits were tall tales of a World War that might have been, featuring monster bats, German zombies, wolf-men, harpies, Martians, and even tentacled floating monsters. Most of these monstrosities were the work of Germany’s seemingly endless supply of mad scientists, chief of whom was G-8’s recurring Nemesis, Herr Doktor Krueger. G-8 battled Germany’s Halloween shock troops for over a decade, not ceasing until the magazine folded in the middle of World War II. G-8 and his Battle Aces return in vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format. $2.99.
Double Detective October 1941 The Green Lama #13 The Case of the Hollywood Ghost
Death-dealing bullets that come from nowhere — the baffling appearance of Cain-marked footprints — a mysterious fire. Around a Hollywood murder these startling phenomena weave a supernatural curtain that defies all the powers of the Green Lama. The jade-robed Buddhist priest who battled crime as The Green Lama is back! Conceived in 1939 at the behest of the editors of Munsey Publications to compete with The Shadow, it was an outlandish concept.

He carried a traditional Tibetan scarf, which he employed to bind and befuddle opponents, and possessed a knowledge of vulnerable nerve centers which he put to good use in hand-and-hand combat.

The London Crimes was originally published in the September 15, 1935 issue of The Shadow Magazine. The Shadow has traveled to England to assist his old friend Inspector Erik Delka of Scotland Yard. He seeks a master criminal and expert at disguise known as The Harvester.
The Harvester has been thwarting London police for months. He deals in large-scale swindles and outright theft. He worms his way into a situation that allows for huge profit, by using a variety of disguises. For example, the distinguished and trusted Sir James Carliff cashed a bank draft for eight thousand pounds - forty thousand dollars. But after he left the bank, it was discovered that he was an impostor; The Harvester had struck.
Then there was a loan to be given Monsieur Pierre Garthou, the head of a French mining syndicate. Immediately after the funds were transferred, a fraud was suspected. But when Garthou was stopped by a representative of the banking house, Garthou produced a revolver and riddled him with bullets. It wasn’t Garthou after all; it was The Harvester in disguise again.
The steamship Baroda was sunk. An explosion occurred on board, before the vessel had passed the Scilly Islands. All on board were lost. The owner, Lemuel Brodder appeared to collect his insurance. But... you guessed it. Once again, The Harvester was appearing in disguise.
So The Shadow has come to London to unmask The Harvester. Harry Vincent, his long-time agent, has also arrived in London to assist his master. With the assistance of Vincent and a bit of help from The Yard itself, The Shadow tracks down the suspects and eliminates them one-by-one. Until finally, there is the ultimate showdown in the drawing room of an old country estate. All the suspects are there. And one of them is The Harvester. Whew, what a story!
A few points of interest. At this time, the English pound was apparently worth ten dollars. The Harvester is after half a million pounds in loot, which the story tells us is close to five million dollars in American money. Wow, how times have changed! Today, the English pound is worth about $1.42.
The Shadow isn’t known for his gadgets. When you think of gadgets, you usually think of Doc Savage. But The Shadow had a few of his own. This story features a special roller for . . .
