Magic Island 130 Episodes
Magic Island was a thrilling juvenile adventure series from the golden age of radio that transported listeners to an exotic world of mystery, danger, and excitement. The show followed the adventures of Joan Gregory, a young girl who had been lost at sea for fourteen years, and her mother Patricia Gregory, who searched tirelessly to find her. Their journey led them to a mysterious island filled with strange inhabitants, advanced technology, and perilous secrets. Combining science fiction, adventure, and fantasy elements, the program captured the imagination of children and families during the late 1930s.
With its serialized format, cliffhanger endings, and exotic setting, Magic Island became one of the era’s most memorable adventure serials for younger audiences.

The series featured a cast of talented radio actors, including:
Sally Creighton as Joan Gregory

Tom Barrett as Captain Tex Bradford, the adventurer and protector who aided the Gregory family

The ensemble’s performances gave life to the mysterious world of the “magic island,” blending melodrama with excitement.
Key Dates
• Magic Island premiered in 1936 as a syndicated series.
• The program was distributed in 15-minute serialized episodes, making it easy for children to follow on a daily basis.
• A total of 130 episodes were produced, though not all have survived.
Other Information
The program was notable for mixing traditional lost-world adventure with science fiction tropes. The mysterious island was home to advanced inventions, strange cultures, and bizarre dangers, making each episode a combination of suspense and wonder.
Cliffhanger endings kept listeners eagerly awaiting the next episode, as characters found themselves in constant peril—whether trapped by villains, lost in the island’s jungles, or caught in bizarre scientific experiments.
Though aimed at young audiences, the series held wide appeal thanks to its fast-paced storytelling and imaginative settings. It was one of many serialized adventure programs of the time, but it stood out for its unique combination of family drama, science fiction, and exotic mystery.
Today, Magic Island is remembered as a classic juvenile adventure show and a fine example of 1930s radio serial storytelling. Collectors prize the surviving episodes, which still capture the spirit of wonder and excitement that enthralled young listeners nearly a century ago.
