of the NORWEGIAN EXPLORERS - Inspired by reading an Arthur Conan Doyle story, Edith Meiser wrote the Sherlock Holmes radio plays that were broadcast on NBC from 1930 to 1936. At the end of the first season, 94% of American radio editors said The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was the best radio program on the air. The Red-Throated League of the Norwegian Explorers have performed these entertaining radio plays, complete with costumes, props and sound effects for more than two decades and NARC is excited to have them for our entertainment at Radio Daze 2021! |
