William Shatner began his acting career on radio in Canada when he was quite young. Born in 1931, he would have been around 15 years old in 1946.
He started performing on CBC Radio in Montreal, even before he went to university. This early experience in radio laid the groundwork for his extensive career in acting, eventually leading him to become a global icon as Captain Kirk in “Star Trek.”
The moral of the story is that audio has always been a training ground as much as a career for great artists.
It’s summer! And this week with Mutual Presents we’re back to celebrate with the kiddies with Saturday Story Circle’s addition to our feature with another grand Superman serial.

John C. Alsedek provides an incredible article over at Flapper Press looking at our spiritual grandfather The Mutual Broadcasting System. Check out his insightful overview at MBS speaking about the incredible new shows Mutual brought the world.
“…new programs as affiliates brought their own productions into the mix. Best known of the bunch was The Shadow, which starred the great Orson Welles as both the titular crimefighter and his alter ego, Lamont Cranston. Other additions to the Mutual Radio lineup included The Green Hornet, Kay Kyser and His Kollege of Music Knowledge, and The Good Will Hour. Mutual Radio also acquired the exclusive rights to broadcast sporting events such as the World Series and the Indy 500, and its news bureau was a qualitative match for those of the three major networks.”
We’re back with Mutual Presents and another series of misadventures with Adventures with Maisie double-feature who brings in our summer with “Maisie Saves the Orphanage” and “Maisie The Deserted Wife”!
The final blast from “Realm” Jack and David find “The Shadow Files of Morgan Knox”. Morgan Knox can see the Darkness coming…but that may not be enough to stop it from destroying the world. In 1930’s Manhattan, a Latina private detective is posthumously hired by a man hoping to solve his own murder. Morgan Knox is just the right investigator for the job: ever since her experience in World War I left her with the ability to see paranormal phenomena, she’s had one foot in the shadows and another in the real world. As the case leads her through the city, Knox battles more forces beyond human sight: corruption, greed, and temptation have taken Manhattan by storm, and if she isn’t careful, she could be the Darkness’ next victim. The Shadow Files of Morgan Knox is a Realm production written by K Arsenault Rivera, Brooke Bolander, Gabino Iglesias, and Sunny Moraine. This week we take a look back the first feature: “The Book Collector”!
