Podcasts about private detective

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we're trying something new. We debut a brand-new segment called "The RAS Signal", where I get behind the microphone and spend a little more time talking about the history, people, and ideas that made old-time radio so remarkable. For our first Signal, we'll look at the writers and hear examples of how their words became pictures in the minds of millions of listeners. That leads us directly to Richard Diamond, Private Detective, created by Blake Edwards and starring Dick Powell. Our story is The Oklahoma Cowboy Murder Case. Diamond is hired to investigate the suspicious death of an expert horseman whose fatal fall may not have been an accident after all. And then there's the music…. What!?!? I wrote some lyrics for Ron's Amazing Stories and wondered what they might sound like as a 1940s-style swing song. It's a Signal, a mystery, and even a song. Like I said, we're trying something new. In This Episode The premiere of The RAS Signal A look at the writers who helped create the golden age of radio Lucille Fletcher, John Meston, Blake Edwards, and the power of writing for sound The debut of Ron's Amazing Stories — Around The Bend A few thoughts on AI, creativity, and turning an idea into music Featured Story The Oklahoma Cowboy Murder Case — September 27, 1950 Richard Diamond is hired by a wealthy Oklahoma man to investigate the death of his brother. The official ruling says he died after falling from his horse, but there's a problem: the victim was an exceptional rider. If it wasn't an accident, Diamond has a murder to solve—and horses aren't exactly his specialty. A New Signal The RAS Signal is something I've wanted to try for a while: a place where we can go beyond simply playing old-time radio and talk about the people, history, craft, and occasional oddities behind it. This first edition is only the beginning, and I'd really like to know what you think.

Victoria Taft ("your news sherpa") delivers a hard-hitting edition of The Adult in the Room: FBI Biden Cover-Up Scandal: New records expose how the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) allegedly ran shadow operations to protect the Biden family's Ukraine financial ties while dismissing legitimate corruption evidence as "disinformation". Seattle's "Transfugee" Funding: Victoria breaks down Seattle's decision to allocate $300,000 in taxpayer funds to attract trans individuals as a "trans sanctuary" city—all while local police departments face critical staffing shortages. Massachusetts Abortion Legislation: Victoria reacts to Massachusetts passing late-term abortion laws by highlighting the importance of newborn care and donating cribs to crisis pregnancy shelters. Hot Book Summer Feature (Nils Grevillius): Former Army counterintelligence agent, Pinkerton, and veteran L.A. private investigator Nils Grevillius joins the show to discuss his memoir, The Last Lawman: True Stories of a Private Detective (featuring a foreword by Kurt Schlichter).

We'll hear him as two private Dicks - Richard Rogue from Rogue's Gallery and as Richard Diamond, Private Detective. He's Rogue in "The Triangle Murder Case" (originally aired on Mutual on February 21, 1946) and "The Corpse I Didn't Kill" (originally aired on Mutual on June 13, 1946). Then he's Diamond in episodes known as "The Mary Bellman Case" (originally aired on NBC on June 28, 1950) and "The Mike Burton Case" (originally aired on NBC on July 5, 1950) . Plus, we'll hear him as a third radio sleuth in the 1948 audition recording for Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.

It's a construction boom: massive AI data centers being pushed into communities with big promises of jobs — and big questions about electricity, water, and environmental impact (not to mention some cases of government overreach as eminent domain is used to take property from families to advance the data center cause). I am scheduled to be joined by AI expert Guy Morris, a former Fortune 100 tech executive with over three decades of experience leading software, high-tech, and global energy organizations, as well as an award-winning author of multiple books, including his latest, "The AI Tsunami."

From the Tapp into the Truth Rumble live stream (4/30/2026).The Department of Homeland Security shutdown will soon be mostly over, after the House of Representatives approved the Senate-backed plan to fund every element of the department except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).President Trump was once again targeted by yet another would-be assassin. There has been a lot of discussion about the shooting suspect, Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, and the security at the event, as well as the Secret Service agent who was shot. Nils Grevillius, a Los Angeles-based private detective and author of The Last Lawman: True Stories of a Private Detective, is scheduled to join me to discuss his thoughts on the event and what security should have been like.The Biden administration used transgenderism as an excuse, as a justification, for discriminating against Christian doctors, medical facilities, against churches, against Catholic schools, and there was targeting of pro-lifers. Even within the DOJ, there was an attitude of anti-Christian discrimination and the feeling that Christians really didn't count as a protected class, and that manifested itself in very real, illegal prejudice against Christians. This was revealed by Camille Varone, senior counsel at the Justice Department, speaking with Allie Beth Stuckey, host of BlazeTV's Relatable, when Varone was discussing a 200+ page report on the Biden administration's actions against Christians during their time in power.The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of First Choice Women's Resource Centers, affirming that Christian nonprofits do not forfeit their constitutional rights simply because their beliefs don't align with those of powerful politicians supporting anti-Christian ideologies.One of the leading Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate in Michigan is playing defense after a CNN report revealed that she purged thousands of tweets, including posts in which she disparaged Middle America after President Donald Trump's 2016 election victory. Mallory McMorrow, who currently serves in the Michigan Senate, deleted around 6,000 social media posts, including tweets in which she said she missed living in California and fantasized about the coasts breaking off from Middle America.

From his exciting journeys in Africa to his time spent on the mission field closer to home. With brutal honesty that will both encourage and mesmerize, Bruce Wolff,  the founder and executive director of Brigade Air, Inc. and author of Finding Hope Navigating an Obscure Path: Learning to Trust God When You Can Barely Understand Him, shares details about an incredible life lived for the glory of God.Children across our nation are facing serious threats — exploitation, trafficking, abuse, and neglect. Too often, these dangers remain hidden, leaving vulnerable children without the protection and advocacy they desperately need. On April 12th in Huntsville, One Voice: United for the Children, a powerful community rally where families, leaders, advocates, and concerned citizens will come together to stand up, speak out, and declare that protecting our kids is not a political issue — it is a moral responsibility. EmmaSara McMillion, founder of the Mother of Change Foundation, is scheduled to join me to discuss the event and the issues behind it.Six months after Tyler Robinson allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk with a sniper shot to the neck at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, the evidence against him appears overwhelming: his DNA on the rifle's trigger and a towel wrapped around the weapon, trace evidence like footprints and palm prints from the rooftop, a pre-shooting note expressing intent to "take out" Kirk, text messages confessing to his partner, and an alleged obsession documented in his digital footprint. Yet a wave of influencers, podcasters, and online commentators—many on the right—are aggressively amplifying defense claims that an inconclusive ATF bullet analysis "exonerates" Robinson or proves the rifle wasn't the murder weapon. Headlines scream "bullet did NOT match," while court filings and experts clarify it's simply not a conclusive microscopic match (common in ballistics, especially with fragments). No evidence clears him; the defense is doing its job by poking holes, but the broader narrative push feels coordinated and premature. Nils Grevillius, Los Angeles-based Private Investigator, is scheduled to join me to discuss the phenomenon. Four-and-a-half years after he was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, a Dutch teen was euthanized at his request. The boy, aged between 16 and 18, had described his life as "joyless." He'd struggled with anxiety and mood-related problems, and where he fit in, in the world. Oversensitive to stimuli, "every day was an ordeal he had to get through," according to the latest annual report from the Netherlands' regional euthanasia death review committees. Despite his young age, his doctor had "no doubts whatsoever" that the youth had the mental capacity to appreciate what he was seeking, and that there was no prospect of improvement, according to the case report. Katie Asher, co-author of The Book of Heaven: A Story of Hope for the Outcasts, the Broken, and Those Who Lost Faith, is scheduled to join me to discuss the case and how similar events are creeping into the United States.Brigade Air, Inc: https://www.brigadeair.org/Finding Hope Navigating an Obscure Path: Learning to Trust God When You Can Barely Understand Him: https://amzn.to/4mnZQRYONE Voice: United For Our Children:https://www.themocfoundation.org/onevoiceMother of Change Foundation: https://www.themocfoundation.org/Grevillius Detective Services: https://grevilliuspi.com/The Last Lawman: True Stories of a Private Detective: https://amzn.to/41lqe5jAsher House: https://www.asher.house/The Book of Heaven: A Story of Hope for the Outcasts, the Broken, and Those Who Lost Faith: https://amzn.to/4sWQKxUBecome a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support Tapp into the Truth on Rumble.

Summer means vacations, but getting out of town doesn't mean that our detectives can get away from murder and mayhem in these old time radio mysteries. Simon Templar finds multiple murders on a cruise ship in “Murder on the High Seas” from The Saint (originally aired on Mutual on September 18, 1949), and Richard Diamond and Lt. Levinson have a working vacation as they search for a missing man in Bolivia in Richard Diamond, Private Detective (originally aired on CBS on May 31, 1953). Mr. and Mrs. North plan a little getaway, but they have to stop a killer from making their own getaway in “No Vacation for Murder” (AFRS rebroadcast from September 1, 1953). And on a vacation in Maine, Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator finds a corpse in a haystack in “Hay is for Homicide” (originally aired on NBC on August 31, 1954).

On January 7, 1995, 43-year-old Connie Townsend’s home burned to the ground in Brockwell, Arkansas in front of over 20 witnesses. Connie was moving out of her house that day. She had separated from her estranged husband, David Townsend years earlier. David had been staying with his parents, Dale and Ramona, and also with his girlfriend of three years, JoAnn Ellis. But according to Connie’s daughters, Stacy and Amber, David was angry that day and had threatened Connie. They also said that David had threatened to burn the house down in the past. Connie’s body was found in a utility room; she was lying face down with a pair of sewing scissors underneath her body. Investigators said that Connie had died of smoke and soot inhalation, and according to the autopsy report there was no tissue left. And it seemed like after investigators went through the charred remains of her trailer, they had a lot more questions. Was Connie’s death due to an accidental fire, or murder and arson? We had heard from Connie’s daughters that Connie’s body was found in a junk room, a bedroom that they kind of used as a utility room. If there was a fire, why would Connie shut herself into a closet in the back of the utility room, a place where there was no escape? Or could someone have put her in that closet? If you have a case you’d like Catherine Townsend to look into, you can reach out to us at our Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alan Pinkerton is perhaps the most over-achieving barrel-maker who ever lived. After practicing his trade in rural Illinois for a few years in the 1850s, the Scottish immigrant busted up a counterfeiting ring, which got the attention of Chicago’s police department, offering him a job as a detective. From here he worked as an intelligence agent in the Civil War (preventing an assassination attempt on Lincoln’s life), then pursued high-profile outlaws like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and protected scabs in the Homestead lockout, for which his private detective agency became notorious. Pinkerton has been an enduring source of fascination since the nineteenth century. But the details of his impact, business empire, and private life have been incomplete. Today’s guest is Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones, author of “Allan Pinkerton: America's Legendary Detective and the Birth of Private Security.” We discuss the accomplishments, contradictions, controversies, and legacies of the founder of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
