Episode 240 - Simon Says (The Saint)
Down These Mean Streets (Old Time Radio Detectives) - A podcast by Mean Streets Podcasts
Heaven help evildoers when The Saint is on the case. Simon Templar – “the Robin Hood of modern crime” – came to the airwaves after thrilling audiences in stories by Leslie Charteris and in big screen outings starring George Sanders. The most celebrated radio Saint was Vincent Price, the future horror legend of the movies, who voiced Templar from 1947 until 1951. We’ll hear Price in a pair of Saint episodes: “A Real Gone Guy” (originally aired on NBC on July 2, 1950) and “Simon Minds the Baby” (originally aired on NBC on December 17, 1950).
