This week's “Tuesday Night Detectives” on Vintage Classic Radio brings a festive twist with three thrilling holiday specials from the golden age of radio. In "Broadway is My Beat" from December 22, 1951, Detective Danny Clover, portrayed by Larry Thor, unravels the mystery of "Buddy Malpaugh and the Jeweled Scimitar." As snow blankets the streets of New York, Clover tracks the elusive Buddy Malpaugh who has stolen a precious scimitar sword, adorned with jewels. Charles Calvert voices Sgt. Tartaglia and Jack Kruschen plays Muggavan in this chilling winter tale. Next up is "Candy Matson" from December 10, 1949, featuring Natalie Masters as the sharp-witted private eye in "Jack Frost." This episode sees Matson investigating a suspicious accident in a chilly San Francisco, accompanied by her loyal sidekick Rembrandt Watson, voiced by Jack Thomas. The twist comes when they discover a plot that could ice over the Christmas cheer, making it a thrilling holiday investigation. Wrapping up the trio of tales, we revisit "The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe" from December 22, 1950, in "The Slaughtered Santas." With Sidney Greenstreet playing the iconic armchair detective Nero Wolfe, and his assistant Archie Goodwin played by Larry Dobkin, the duo solves the sinister slaying of men dressed as Santa Claus. This chilling mystery dives into the darker side of the festive season, presenting a high-stakes puzzle for Wolfe and his sharp instincts. These episodes blend intrigue with holiday spirit, offering listeners an evocative throwback to yesteryear's Christmases, filled with suspense and festive adventure. Whether it's following footprints in the snow in New York, untangling a frosty mystery in San Francisco, or solving a series of Santa Claus murders, each story promises to keep you guessing and entertained during the holiday season.

Nero Wolfe 82-02-13 Christmas Party
Nero Wolfe Returns just in time to go to a Christmas Party. That's today's Nero Wolfe Christmas feature on Volume 60 originally broadcast on February 13, 1982. Based on the Rex Stout original story from 1958's "Four To Go" novel. Santa Claus & mystery have always gone together and so they do on a Christmas Edition of Sounds Like Radio's Nero Wolfe from our Vast Library of Sound!

Today on the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 363 we present the very last episode of the 1982 Nero Wolfe radio series. I'm sorry that the show ended so soon after only 13 episodes, but today's finale is a dandy. Today Nero finds that "Murder Is No Joke" as it was originally heard April 10, 1982. The story originally appeared in the book "And 4 To Go" which is one of my favorites as it also featured 3 holiday related stories. We've presented all the episodes of this 1982 series in the order they were originally heard. I've enjoyed this series just as I really enjoyed reading all of the Nero Wolfe books. Still my recommendation to you if you want to read some good books with mystery and a lot of humor mixed in. Very enjoyable. Now let's enjoy this last episode.

It's a birthday month tribute to Oscar-nominated actor Sydney Greenstreet. He made his film debut as the heavy in The Maltese Falcon, and he'd go on to appear in Casablanca, Christmas in Connecticut, and many more. He also spent a year starring on radio as Rex Stout's "gargantuan gourmet," Nero Wolfe. We'll hear him as Wolfe in "The Case of the Disappearing Diamonds" (originally aired on NBC on March 9, 1951) and "A Slight Case of Perjury" (originally aired on NBC on April 6, 1951). Plus, Greenstreet reunites with Peter Lorre as they recreate their roles from The Mask of Dimitrios on The Lady Esther Screen Guild Theatre (originally aired on CBS on April 16, 1945).
