Not all radio detectives carried a badge or a private eye's license. Some were amateur sleuths who dabbled in deduction in addition to their day jobs, and we'll hear a collection of those crimesolvers and their adventures. Walter Hampden stars as Leonidas Witherall - professor, author, dead ringer for Shakespeare, and amateur detective - in "Murder at the State Fair" (originally aired on Mutual on September 24, 1944). Gale Gordon is San Francisco importer and detective Gregory Hood in "The Forgetful Murderer" (originally aired on Mutual on July 29, 1946). Alan Ladd is mystery writer Dan Holiday, who seeks adventures to fuel the plots of his stories, in "Killer at Large," a syndicated episode of Box 13. And finally, Joseph Curtin and Alice Frost are book publisher Jerry North and his wife Pam, and their idea of a date night involves stumbling over a dead body. We'll hear "The Premature Corpse," an Armed Forces Radio Service rebroadcast of Mr. and Mrs. North (originally aired on CBS on February 12, 1952).
In this special, we look back at the top five half-hour Old Time Radio programs of our 2024-2025 season, and one of our best Old Time Radio Snack Wagon episodes.First up, it's The Falcon in "The Case of the Jumping Jack":A woman hires The Falcon because she suspects that her husband has hired a private eye to follow her.Original Radio Broadcast Date: April 20, 1952Originating from New YorkStarring: Les Damon as The Falcon; Chuck Webster as Sergeant CorbettThen we turn to the Your Playhouse of Favorites production of "The Suicide Club":A bored crown prince, looking for excitement, joins a club of men who want to end their lives.Original Air Date: Sometime between 1947 and 1949Originating from New YorkStarring: Dwight Reese; Walter VaughnSpeaking of Robert Louis Stevenson, we turn to an excerpt from The Orson Welles Almanac wherein Welles reads Stevenson's lesser-known letter defending Father Damien against the scathing remarks of Reverend Dr. C.M. Hyde. This impassioned response, penned in 1890, highlights the stark contrasts between the selfless heroism of Father Damien and the hypocrisy of his critics.Join us as we explore the rich historical context and emotional weight of Stevenson's words, showcasing not only a brilliant literary takedown but also a tribute to compassion and service in the face of adversity. Welles's masterful narration brings this poignant piece to life, reminding us of the enduring legacy of Father Damien.Complete Text of Stevenson's letter:https://www.gutenberg.org/files/281/281-h/281-h.htmThen we turn to a surreal episode of Mr. and Mrs. North, "Call Me Choo Choo"Today's Mystery:Pam and Jerry hear a clarinet being played in the middle of the country near a wrecked car.Original Radio Broadcast Date: December 9, 1947Originating from New York CityStarring: Joseph Curtain as Jerry North; Alice Frost as Pamela North; Larry Haines; Mandel KramerWe will also have a listen to one of our new series, Cloak and Dagger, about the true adventures of the OSS during WWII.
