World Adventurer's Club is a captivating Old Time Radio show set in a luxurious gentleman's club in the early 1930s, where members share thrilling stories of their adventures in exotic, distant lands. This 15-minute transcribed broadcast, produced by the Los Angeles-based company Transco, features remarkable tales taking the listener to far-off places full of wonder, opportunity, and danger.
First aired on KFWB in Los Angeles, each episode is set in the cozy atmosphere of the club, immersing the audience in exciting stories of exploration, discovery, and mystery told by club members. Unfortunately, the identities of the talented actors who brought these stories to life have mostly been lost to time. However, Hanley Stafford is known to have been the featured storyteller in at least six episodes.
Although some of the episodes carry a colonial attitude reflective of the era, the World Adventurer's Club transports listeners to a time when much of the Earth remained unknown and every exploration offered the possibility of encountering previously undiscovered wonders.
