Podcast #42 The Mysterious Traveler
THE MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER first rode the rails on Mutual in 1943 and
was heard for the next nine years without a sponsor. Maurice Tarplin
portrayed the mysterious traveler for the entire run.
The shows opened with a shrieking locomotive roaring down the tracks.
You, the listener, are a passenger along with another passenger, who
insists on telling you a weird tale. The tale ends as the time the
train reaches the next stop, with Maurice Tarplin's promise of
another tale, next time you're on the train.
