Chandu was among the first and last shows of its kind, in two distinctive runs: 1932-1935 and 1948-1950.  Chandu, in reality was Frank Chandler, who would fight the world's evil forces with occult powers and a crystal ball.  Evil was personified in Roxor, a villain who dominated both runs of the series.  The first 68 chapters told of the search for Robert Regent, the husband of Chandler's sister Dorothy.  Regent had vanished in a shipwreck ten years before, but through his occult powers Chandler had learned that he might still be alive, held prisoner all these years by Roxor.  The series moved locale to Egypt where we witnessed subplots such as: Chandler's low-key romance with Nadji the Egyptian princess; the ill-fated romance between Betty Regent and a Bedouin beggar; Dorothy's mounting fear.  The later was a vital element, for Chandler's magic was impotent in the face of blind fear, and this was his weakness.  The serial presented here ran from 6-28-1948 to 1-28-1949 on Mutual-Don Lee and was sponsored by White King Soap.

NOTE: Due to a server crash recently at SaveFile.com, these files are currently unavailable.
I have been very busy with my new Disc Jockey company and with production of new episodes of
The Glowing Dial of late and have not had time to upload these files once again.
SaveFile.com does not have batch uploading so all the files have to be uploaded one-at-a-time.
This is very time consuming so please be patient and I will try to get the files back up as I have spare
time to do so.  I apologize for any inconvenience.

All episodes of Chandu, the Magician can be downloaded here.

NOTE: The new file storage system we are using deletes files (episodes) automatically if they sit on the server for 30 days without a download.  This is beyond our control and we have no realistic way of keeping up with checking on this.  So, we ask you, our loyal listeners to inform us if you find a file (episode) missing.  Upon receiving such a notice, we will upload the episode to the server in as timely a fashion as we are able.

ALSO: Please do your best to not be a "bandwidth hog".  We ask that you limit your downloads to a "reasonable" amount per day.  Please do not use "download managers" either.  Although we have unlimited storage space and unlimited bandwidth at our current storage location, we do not wish to "abuse" this privilege and "crash" or "severely limit" their server.  Remember, there are many others who want to download these files as badly as you do so please give them a fair chance too.
