THE GREEN HORNET Radio Program Makes a Comeback

The Green Hornet
makes a triumphant return to the masses, courtesy of Radio Spirits. The company has licensed the radio broadcasts for release in box sets, each containing 20 episodes. Even better news is that most of the shows they have been releasing are "lost" episodes -- recordings never available to collectors for decades. Radio Spirits has been releasing these sets every four months like clockwork and will continue to do so as long as sales are strong. I am proud to say I contribute liner notes for many of these box sets -- including the most recent, pictured here, which gets a general release to the public as of today. 

I am reprinting below the catalog description and the list of episodes included in this set. To purchase this set, and some of the prior releases before they go out of print, visit the link below.


By day, the daring young publisher Britt Reid uses editorials to campaign against corruption. By night, he takes matters into his own hands. Radio's definitive masked hero roams the night once more in twenty exciting radio adventures starring Jack McCarthy!

Racketeers and crooked politicians, corrupt businessmen and underworld kingpins -- none can escape the sting of the Green Hornet! Listen in as he thwarts the evil intentions of international spies, stops schemes to steal jewels, foils plots to nick negotiable bonds, and so much more!
