"Whispering Streets" continuing drama was a once weekly, 30 minute romantic/ soap opera/drama that picked up each week, where it left off the previous week, rather than the 15 minute daily episodes which the public was accustomed to.
More about it
The minor character of the week would narrate and leave you to wonder which minor character would be the major character the next week. The show had many famous narrators during the show run, such as: Cathy Lewis, Ann Seymour, Gertrude Warner, Hope Winslow and Bette Davis. Bette Davis was "Whispering Streets" most dramatic guest host.

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
