Get your pjs on, grab a big bowl of cereal, and plant yourself in front of the TV (at least in your mind) -- its Saturday Morning Cartoon time with one of the seminal voices of animation. The name Daws Butler may not ring as many bells as Mel Blanc, but his characters sure do -- Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw and many more. A fortuitous early partnership with Stan Freberg paid off for Daws with tons of voice work in 1950s Hollywood, and when William Hanna and Joseph Barbera started their namesake studio in the 1960s, Daws was their as a key voice talent. Along the way Daws also was a mainstay of commercials (Captain Crunch anyone?) and founded a voice workshop that trained many of the next generation(s) of voice actors. As always, find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Daws Butler? When the Beatle's stormed America, drummer Ringo Starr was a sensation and Daws caught the wave with Bingo Ringo -- featuring Daws as Huckleberry Hound fantasizing about being a rock and roll star. https://youtu.be/j8l-UakqV28?si=Puvt-4UbfQ67TuR9 Early in his career Daws worked with Stan Freberg on the Beany and Cecil kids who's, then on Stan's series of groundbreaking Capitol records releases including Christmas Dragnet -- a parody of the Dragnet television show -- and Daws was a perfect partner to Stan Freberg's Joe Friday parody. https://youtu.be/VUcEnZZxO9Y?si=vOtthAGBgz1Xn7wo Daws was the king of Hanna Barbera studios which popularized "limited animation" as a way to cut costs and keep cartoons on the air. With the motion limited, solid voice work was essential. Daws says -- no problem!https://youtu.be/kT_ykjMWDGc?si=sqhJ87kitSfNp6f5

We're celebrating the 105th anniversary of the birth of Jack Webb - one of the faces on the Mt. Rushmore of old time radio drama. Best known for Dragnet, Webb logged many an hour solving crimes on the air as cops, private eyes, and amateur sleuths. We'll hear him as Jeff Regan, Investigator in "The Guy from Gower Gulch" (originally aired on CBS on November 13, 1948) and as Pat Novak For Hire in "Wendy Morris" (originally aired on ABC on  May 8, 1948). He solves a Prohibition-era mystery in Pete Kelly's Blues (AFRS rebroadcast of an episode known as "Little Jake" from May 22, 1951), and we wrap up with Webb in his element as Sgt. Joe Friday in "The Big Want" (originally aired on NBC on March 1, 1953).

Place your bets with these old time radio mysteries involving gamblers and the (sometimes) crooked games they play. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find murder among the roulette tables of a French casino in "The Case of the Double Zero," starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce (originally aired on Mutual on November 19, 1945). Philip Marlowe tries to find a friend's stolen IOU but stumbles across a corpse during the search in "The Promise to Pay" (originally aired on CBS on May 14, 1949), and Nero Wolfe is hired to find out who dealt a deadly hand during a poker game in "The Case of the Killer Cards" (originally aired on NBC on January 12, 1951). Finally, Sgt. Joe Friday hunts for the man who's impersonating a cop to extort money from gamblers in "The Big Shakedown" from Dragnet (originally aired on NBC on May 22, 1952).

Ice is in the air - and on the ground - as many parts of the country contend with winter weather, but in this week's show our heroes contend with a different kind of ice...and it's because that ice has gone missing. Detectives hunt down stolen diamonds in these four radio mysteries, beginning with Richard Kollmar as Boston Blackie in a syndicated episode where diamonds are stolen right from under his own nose. Next, Richard Diamond, Private Detective is blamed when several thousand dollars of stones are pilfered from the police commissioner (originally aired on NBC on November 12, 1949). Then, Sgt. Joe Friday is on the case when a diamond salesman is robbed of his merchandise in "The Big Impression" from Dragnet (originally aired on NBC on August 7, 1952). And finally, John Lund stars as Johnny Dollar as he searches for a stolen yellow diamond in "The Uncut Canary Matter" (AFRS rebroadcast from February 16, 1954).

Re-Imagined Radio celebrates Dragnet, the real-life police procedural, and Jack Webb, as Detective Sgt. Joe Friday, who defined and was defined by this radio series. We sample from One Out of Seven, The Jack Webb Show, Pat Novak, For Hire, Johnny Madero, Pier 23, and Jeff Regan, Investigator, all pre-Dragnet radio shows where Webb honed his character and acting style. We end with "The City Hall Bombing," an early episode of Dragnet to showcase Webb as a great radio storyteller. Significance The Dragnet radio series presented a wide range of topics, each using fast moving plots and realistic details to keep the action moving. The dialogue was understated. Sparse. Influenced by hard-boiled detective literature. The police work was chronicled step-by-step, with details and realism. The result gave millions of listeners a feel for real police work. The boredom and drudgery. The danger of heroism. With its start in radio, and move to television, Dragnet remains one of the most popular and influentional police procedurals in any media, including literature, motion pictures, and podcasts. More than a half-century after its first broadcast, people who have never heard an episode, or don't know Dragnet, know its 4-note music opening, "DUM-DE-DUM-DUM," and think the phrase "Just the facts, ma'am" originated with Sgt. Joe Friday. It didn't. But that doesn't matter.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Two heart-pounding episodes of Dragnet featuring Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday

Best known as the "Control Voice" that opened each episode of The Outer Limits, Vic Perrin was all over the dial during the golden age of radio. He was a regular resident of Dodge City on Gunsmoke, he frequently encountered Sgt. Joe Friday on Dragnet, and he co-starred with Raymond Burr on Fort Laramie. We'll hear him as a reporter who has a rendezvous with a killer in "The Lady in the Red Hat" (originally aired on CBS on August 30, 1955). Then, he's a trapeze artist with love and murder on his mind in "Gallardo" (originally aired on CBS on March 20, 1956). And he's a postmaster who has to intercept a time-bomb sent through the mail in "Fragile - Contents Death" (originally aired on CBS on May 22, 1956). Plus, we'll hear him in "Sergeant Gorse's Baby," an episode of Fort Laramie (originally aired on CBS on May 29, 1956).

Two great episodes from Dragnet starring Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday

Two episodes of the classic 50's cop show Dragnet starring Jack Webbb as Sgt. Joe Friday

Feathers and fiends are on the agenda this week with four old time radio mysteries involving birds. A crow may foil a killer's plans to get away with murder in "Bird of Death," a syndicated episode of The Haunting Hour. Then, Blackstone, the Magic Detective explains how a canary helped him solve the case of "The Bird of Doom" in a syndicated tale. Bob Bailey investigates when a parrot's owner keels over after the parrot tells him to in "Drop Dead" from Let George Do It (originally aired on Mutual on July 23, 1951). And Sgt. Joe Friday hunts a burglar who also targets pet birds in "The Big Bird" from Dragnet (AFRS rebroadcast from February 1, 1955).

Sometimes it takes two detectives to crack the case. Fortunately, each of these radio mysteries has a dynamic duo on the scene. First, Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons and his partner Mike Kelly solve "The Case of the Ruthless Murderers" (originally aired on CBS on October 27, 1949). Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin take their final bow on the air in "The Case of Room 304" (originally aired on NBC on April 27, 1951). Sgt. Joe Friday and Officer Frank Smith are on the trail of counterfeiters in "The Big Listen" from Dragnet (originally aired on NBC on January 5, 1954). Finally, married sleuths Pat and Jean Abbott investigate "The Green-Eyed Divorcee" (AFRS rebroadcast from NBC on May 8, 1955).

Our heroes try to solve some purr-fect crimes in these old time radio mysteries - each involving a cat. First, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (played by Tom Conway and Nigel Bruce) find "The Clue of the Hungry Cat" (originally aired on ABC on October 26, 1946). Next, Bob Bailey tries to help an inventor and finds a murder in "The Iron Cat" from Let George Do It (originally aired on Mutual on June 12, 1950). Then, a panther is on the loose in Los Angeles and Sgt. Joe Friday has to track it down in "The Big Cat" from Dragnet (originally aired on NBC on June 15, 1954).
