Podcasts about Sam Spade

In our encore performance from Project Audion this season, Larry Groebe returns again to ask what do you do if you grew up listening the classic dramatic series on the radio, then found a career writing TV comedy for Bob Hope, and now, decades later, you still harbor fond feelings about those radio shows of your youth? Well, if you're Robert L. Mills, you write shows like the one you're about to hear.  It's a takeoff of a certain famous detective whose name sounds awfully similar to OUR show's hero, named Stan Slade. The original "Adventures of Sam Spade" was broadcast in the late 1940s and early '50s. It starred Howard Duff as the detective created by Dashiell Hammett. It was a fun show that never took itself entirely seriously. Mr Mills has nudged his tribute a little further into the toungue-in-cheek -- or should I say toungue in beak? -territory, reuniting the detective with his old adversaries from the Maltese Falcon movie, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Everyone in our cast gets to have some fun with this adventure of Stan Slade, Detective, entitled "The Burmese Penguin Caper".  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tune in for danger with a collection of radio mysteries that involve the medium of radio itself! Master sleuth Ellery Queen has to solve a murder that takes place in his own studio - right in the middle of his show - in “The Armchair Detective” (originally aired on CBS on March 27, 1946). Then, Dan Holiday is hired by a radio actress who fears for her life in “Actor's Alibi,” a syndicated episode of Box 13. A radio announcer plots his wife's murder and cooks up a perfect on-air alibi in “Brief Pause for Murder” from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on September 11, 1949). And finally, Sam Spade finds that a radio drama leads to real-life murder in “The Soap Opera Caper” (originally aired on NBC on February 16, 1951).

The Falcon hit the airwaves back in the early 1940s, sliding right into the shoes of slick, sharp-tongued detectives like The Shadow and Sam Spade. But where those blokes leaned hard into the tough-as-nails, gritty vibe, The Falcon mixed it up — charm, cheek, and a dash of danger. He was your classic gentleman sleuth, smooth as, but always keen to jump headfirst into the next messy crime. Support the Podcast and help it grow!
