"who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men...." Not to mention - on radio - The Lone Ranger, Ma Perkins, Lets Pretend, Jack Benny, Fred Allen, Fibber Mc gee and Molly, Edgar Bergan (and Candice) and Charlie McCarthy, Tom mix, Lux Radio Theatre and The Cinnamon Bear.
Many of those I know because they made a successful transition to early TV or because their old B&W movies based on the radio characters were staples at a movie theater I worked at after school when I was in junior high.
Later, in the 80s, many of the old radio shows showed up on LP records or cassette tapes.
... or from books at the public library. I guess I was maybe 10 - 11 when I first met Sherlock Holmes & Dr Watson, Nick and Nora Charles, The Continental Op, Phillip Marlowe and Sam Spade. Who eventually led me to Hercule Peroit, Miss Marple, Nero Wolfe & his man Archie.
I much prefer books to movies, because the cinematography is always so much better.
