I collect lots of old time radio. This is my all-time favorite classic radio series.

There's one episode (I believe The Accusing Corpse) where the Traveler is actually a character in the story. Does anyone know if he was in any other stories?

I don't know about that. But in "The Haunted Trailer", there's a scene where the ghost insists on turning on the Trailer's radio to hear an episode of his favorite program, The Mysterious Traveler.

Yeah, I'll bet the writers laughed themselves silly for coming up with that one.

I have to agree with Todd. This may not be the most famous radio show, but it is definitely my favorite.

I recently got my order from otrcat.com of the Mysterious Traveler CD - MP3's of all 68 known surviving epsiodes of the greatest OTR series of all time on one CD! I couldn't be happier.

The MT does indeed appear as a character in a few of the very earliest episodes. In "Death Laughs Last" (9/24/44) the Traveler is the doctor at the beginning of the story. "Death Laughs Last" was later redone as "Dark Destiny" on 4/13/47 in which the MT is not the doctor in the story. The MT was also in "Murder Goes Free", which later became (with a few minor plot changes) a famous episode of Suspense starring Danny Kaye ("The Too-Perfect Alibi")

A rather grimly dark episode is "The Good Die Young". This one features a small girl who plots to kill her new stepmother, then fouls afoul of her own scheme.
