Boris Karloff Month Day 24: Truth or Consequences

Welcome back to Boris Karloff month! I'm still looking at the lighter side of Karloff; moving from comedies, I'm stepping into game shows with an episode of Truth or Consequences from October 30, 1948. Truth or Consequences is not always a great radio program because the games the contestants played were frequently visually-related. This episode is a little scratchy, but still... it has Boris Karloff! The episode was broadcast from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Boris drops in to help host Ralph Edwards celebrate Halloween by performing as a fortune teller in one of the games. It's actually a pretty clever stunt!
