Enjoy two free true-crime episodes of This Is Your FBI w/ Stacy Harris A) 5/14/48 The Big Guy B) 11/21/52 The Swamp Killer J. Edgar Hoover, the powerful first director of the F.B.I., insisted any portrayal of the bureau on radio should be positive, emphasizing its successes in the war on crime and the effectiveness of its modern techniques. Local police departments had already cooperated with producers of true-crime programs by providing files of old cases that could be dramatized. The F.B.I.'s files were bursting with robberies, murders, and assorted acts of skullduggery. For This Is Your FBI, Hoover gave producer/director Jerry Devine access to its closed F.B.I. files and fans of the series had a weekly treat in store. Told from the agent's point of view, stories had our men in blue tracking down embezzlers, murderers, kidnappers, burglars and enemies of the state. Over a period of 8 years, screen star Frank Lovejoy, followed by Dean Carleton and William Woodson, narrated exciting, realistic dramatizations of racket-busting and crime detection. Special Agent Jim Taylor, played by Stacy Harris, took the lead role. His character was fictional but the cases were real, with the names of criminals, as well as locations, changed to protect the identity of innocent people involved. The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States sponsored This Is Your FBI for the entire run (1945-1953). The program covered much of the same ground as Gang Busters, which was created in 1935 by Phillips H. Lord.

This episode aired December 24, 1948 on the American Broadcasting Company radio network. The FBI tracking down this missing Santa Claus from a city settlement house. Series ran from April 6, 1945 to January 30, 1953 for a total of 409 shows. The show featured true cases from FBI, and told from an agent's viewpoint. FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover gave it his endorsement, considering it "Our Show" and calling it "the finest dramatic program on the air". First appearing February of 1946, a fictitious agent, Jim Taylor played by Stacy Harris; however, he would not become the regular agent on air until the production moved from New York to Hollywood in 1948. Producer-director Jerry Devine was given access to FBI closed case files by Hoover, who would dramatize the stories. Devine would keep up to date on the latest methods with twice a year trips to the FBI. Narration was handled by Frank Lovejoy, Dean Carleton and William Woodson. Members of the cast along with Harris were Betty White, William Conrad, Herb Ellis, Michael Ann Barrett, Carleton Young, Georgia Ellis, Jay C. Flippen, and many other stars of the time.

Stacy Harris had the lead role of Special Agent Jim Taylor. Others in the cast were William Conrad, Bea Benaderet and Jay C. Flippen. The show was created by producer-director Jerry Devine, a former comedy writer for Kate Smith and Tommy Riggs, who had turned his scripting talents to radio thrillers like Mr. District Attorney. This is Your FBI received the full cooperation of J. Edgar; Hoover gave Devine carte blanche to closed cases in the Bureau’s files for inspiration in writing the show’s weekly dramatizations. They were prefaced, of course, with the Dragnet-like disclaimer “All names used are fictitious and any similarity thereof to the names of persons or places, living or dead, is accidental.” (This led Jim Cox, author of Radio Crime Fighters, to observe: “Some listeners must have pondered that for a while—‘So did these events happen or not?’”) Debuting over ABC Radio on April 6, 1945, This is Your FBI broadcast from New York in its early run (1945-47), showcasing the talents of New York radio veterans like Mandel Kramer, Karl Swenson, Santos Ortega, Elspeth Eric, Joan Banks, and Frank Lovejoy (who narrated many of the shows). In 1948, though, the program relocated to Hollywood, and with the move established a regular weekly character in Special Agent Jim Taylor, a representative of all of the Bureau’s special agents, played by actor Stacy Harris.
