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.

This week on Tuesday Night Detectives, two very different private investigators, back to back. We open with Richard Diamond, Private Detective and "The Private Eye Test," broadcast 19 March 1950. Dick Powell stars as the wisecracking former cop turned private eye, this time sitting a formal licensing exam alongside every other private investigator in the city. It should be routine, until the staged corpse in the training exercise turns out to be a real one, and Diamond has to solve a murder from inside the exam room itself. Then we visit The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and "The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez," broadcast 12 February 1940, starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Watson. Professor Coram's secretary is found stabbed to death in a locked study at Yoxley Old Place, his dying words pointing only to "the professor." The single clue left behind is a pair of golden pince-nez, and from that alone, Holmes builds one of his most purely deductive solutions in the entire canon. Two very different detectives, working two very different continents. Visit us at vintageclassicradiopodcast.com.

Tonight's episode is a detective's nightmare—where the problem isn't finding suspects… it's finding someone still alive who knows the truth. We're bringing you a classic old-time radio detective double feature, featuring two gripping cases. From a client who never gets the chance to explain himself… to a witness who seems to vanish into thin air… these stories remind us that sometimes the most dangerous place to be… is close to the truth. So settle in, dim the lights, and keep your story straight—because tonight, someone is working very hard at silencing the truth. In This Episode A classic detective double feature featuring two legendary radio investigators Richard Diamond, Private Detective – "The Evan's Farmer Case" (8/23/1950) - A wealthy client calls for help… but doesn't survive long enough to explain why Diamond must solve a case with nothing but questions—and a body on the pavement Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar – "Witness, Witness, Who's Got The Witness" (10/22/1949) - A missing witness turns into a deadly chain of events. Johnny Dollar finds himself in the crosshairs as the truth gets closer Ron talks about the connecting theme of silenced voices and missing witnesses Commentary and narration that tie both stories into one chilling idea: What happens when the truth has no one left to tell it? Two detectives. Two cases. One unsettling pattern— the truth is out there… but someone is making sure it stays buried.
