In the early 1980s, radio announcer Ken Roberts sat down for a documentary on the Shadow. Here he recounts how he came to be the announcer for the program in the early 1930s.

I always thought it was funny to hear the actor playing John Barkley say, "Thank you, Ken Roberts..." Only in OTR do you hear people being called by their full names all the time.

His son, Tony, looks exactly like my late husband Vince Pierro. They could almost be twins, certainty brothers. It’s uncanny. Everyone that sees a picture of Tony when he was about 30 yrs old think it is Vince. Even his children think so. Vince is deceased now. He was born 2/12/37 in Chicago. I
