Happy Thanksgiving! For your listening pleasure as you travel, prepare the holiday meal, or just enjoy some well-deserved time off, here's an encore presentation of last year's Turkey Day special. It's a collection of Thanksgiving-themed mysteries starring some of my favorite old time radio detectives with a few special guests dropping in for some musical and comedic performances.  We've got a pair of adventures of Casey, Crime Photographer - "After Turkey, the Bill" (originally aired on CBS on November 27, 1947), and "Holiday" (originally aired on CBS on November 25, 1948). Jack Webb encounters a modern-day Miles Standish and a turkey shoot more dangerous for man than bird in "The Pilgrim's Progress" from Jeff Regan, Investigator (originally aired on CBS on November 13, 1948). Bob Bailey stars in "Cause for Thanksgiving" from Let George Do It (originally aired on Mutual on November 20, 1950), and Steve Dunne stars as Sam Spade and helps save a Tom Turkey who walks on two legs in "The Terrified Turkey Caper" (originally aired on NBC on November 24, 1950).

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. These are arrangements, which means instead of word-for-word readings, you get a performance meant to be heard. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.For Season 6, Jack and I are ad-free. I do this because I love mysteries, Jack does it because he loves me. Jack maybe a starving college student but it's because… We do ask you support the writers of our show. This week it's me, TG Wolff. Check me out on my website and social, buy and read my stories, help other readers find me. In your review, brag about being a true connoisseur of the mystery genre. This is Season 6, Things that Go Jack in the Night. This season contains truly imaginative mysteries around one of the most common words in the English language. From the brandy distilled from hard cider known as applejack to that nefarious one-eyed jack, to the animals, vegetables, fruits, tools, weapons, and slang, the way the word “jack” is used in the English language is truly unique, inventive, and too numerous for us to count. And yes, it is also the name of my piano player and producer. For Episode 8, that mythical creature the jackalope is the featured jack. This is The Skewered Jackalope Caper by TG WolffAbout JackalopesThe jackalope is a mythical animal of North American folklore described as a jackrabbit with antelope horns. Many jackalope taxidermy mounts, including the original, are made with deer antlers.The underlying legend of the jackalope related to tales of horned hares, which inspired by sightings of rabbits infected with the Shope papilloma virus. It causes horn- and antler-like tumors to grow in various places on a rabbit's head and body. Jackalope are part of a group of tall tale animals, known as fearsome critters, that have become part North American culture since the turn of the twentieth century. Other beasts include hodags, giant snakes, and fur-bearing trout.In the 1930s, Douglas Herrick and his brother popularized the American jackalope by grafting deer antlers onto a jackrabbit carcass and selling the combination to a local hotel in Douglas, Wyoming. They kept going, making and selling jackalopes to a retail outlet in South Dakota. Other taxidermist continues to manufacture the horned rabbits in the 21st century. Stuffed and mounted, jackalopes are found in many bars and other places in the United States. The jackalope has appeared in published stories, poems, television shows, video games, and a low-budget mockumentary film. And now its appeared in a podcast.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JackalopeAbout Sam SpadeSam Spade is a fictional private detective, not of my making but of the Dashiell Hammett. He first appeared in the 1930 novel The Maltese Falcon. He is blond, well-built, and mischievous and is the headliner in four other Hammett short stories. At the time, Spade was genre breaking and became the model that inspired other great PI writers. Hammett said “He is a dream man in the sense that he is what most of the private detectives I worked with would like to have been and in their cockier moments thought they approached.” Spade and the Maltese Falcon has been made into films several times, Humphrey Bogart was the 3rd and best known. I met Sam Spade first reading the Maltese Falcon and then listening to the Adventures of Sam Spade on the podcast The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio. The radio show ran 1946-1951 and starred Howard Duff (later Steve Dunne) as Sam. Duff's voice will forever be...

Enjoy two detective episodes of Sam Spade A) 6/20/48 The Deathbed Caper w/ Howard Duff B) 9/12/48 The Lazarus Caper w/ Howard Duff The detective character, Sam Spade, was created by Dashiell Hammett for his crime novel “The Maltese Falcon.” Spade was a hard-boiled detective with cold detachment, a keen eye for detail and unflinching determination to achieve his own justice. The character is most closely associated with Humphrey Bogart who played Sam Spade in the third and most famous film version of “The Maltese Falcon.” In 1946, one of radio's top producers (William Spier) brought Sam Spade to CBS radio starring newcomer Howard Duff with Lurene Tuttle (and occasionally Sandra Gould) as Spade's secretary, Effie Perrine and sponsored by Wildroot Cream Oil. Duff took a considerably more tongue-in-cheek approach to the character than the novel or movies. Dashiell Hammett lent his name to the radio series but had little involvement. In 1947, scriptwriters Jason James and Bob Tallman received an Edgar Award for Best Radio Drama from the Mystery Writers of America. Howard Duff starred as Spade until November of 1950 when Steve Dunne took the role.
