In this week's episode of “Tuesday Night Detectives” on Vintage Classic Radio, we delve into the intriguing world of espionage with two classic detective radio dramas. First, we feature “This is Your FBI” in an episode titled “Espionage,” originally aired on June 8, 1945. In this gripping episode, Special Agent Jim Taylor thwarts a sinister plot by enemy spies attempting to steal crucial wartime secrets. The cast includes Stacy Harris as Jim Taylor, with support from William Conrad as his astute partner, and Betty Lou Gerson playing the role of a cunning spy. Following that, we take a step into the shadowy depths of covert operations with “Cloak and Dagger” in the episode “The People in the Forest,” which first hit the airwaves on June 11, 1950. This episode tells the daring tale of Allied agents parachuting into Nazi-occupied territory to assist local resistance fighters in sabotaging enemy operations. The storyline is brought to life by Raymond Edward Johnson as the lead operative, with Alfred Shirley and Mercedes McCambridge lending their voices as key members of the resistance group.

When Gunsmoke was sponsored for a single broadcast on November 21st 1952, by Chrysler Plymouth, the show drew a good rating against ABC's This is Your FBI, and was heard by roughly 8 million people. After eighteen months on the air, on October 3rd, 1953, the critically acclaimed show got sponsorship from General Foods' Post Toasties. But the sponsorship ended thirteen weeks later on December 26th. The show continued to air, sustained by CBS, on Saturdays at 8:30PM. The next week, on January 2nd, 1954, Gunsmoke broadcast an episode called “Stage Holdup.” It would take Jimmy Stewart's aversion to Liggett & Myers Tobacco to land Gunsmoke its big sponsor. They wanted to sponsor The Six Shooter. Stewart declined, fearful of what a tobacco brand might do to his wholesome image. The Six Shooter went off the air in June, while Liggett & Myers sponsored Gunsmoke, beginning with the July 5th, 1954 episode. By 1956, Gunsmoke was the top rated show on radio. It was one of the few able to temporarily hold its audience in the TV era, even with the launch of Gunsmoke's TV version.

Criminals and spies can run, but they can’t hide from the FBI. Stacy Harris stars as Special Agent Jim Taylor in This is Your FBI, the only dramatic radio program endorsed by the Bureau and J. Edgar Hoover. We’ll hear a pair of FBI adventures: “The Case of the Curious Coin Collector” (originally aired on ABC on October 4, 1946) and “The Agent Apprentice” (originally aired on ABC on August 11, 1950).
"This is Your FBI"--originally broadcast December 29, 1950. 67 years ago. Episode titled "The Temporary Father."
J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI agents captured headlines with their daring pursuits of bank robbers and enemy spies, and their exploits made for thrilling radio adventures. Several radio programs brought the cases of the Bureau to listeners and featured dramatizations of actual FBI case files. We’ll hear special agents on the job in “The Traveling Man” from The FBI in Peace and War (originally aired on CBS on June 10, 1953), and “The Hollywood Frame-Up” from This is Your FBI (originally aired on ABC on February 10, 1950).

Affordable Web Hosting $5.99 A month This Is Your FBI was a radio crime drama which aired in the United States on ABC from April 6, 1945 to January 30, 1953. FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover gave it his endorsement, calling it "the finest dramatic program on the air." Producer-director Jerry Devine was given access to FBI files by Hoover, and the resulting dramatizations of FBI cases were narrated by Frank Lovejoy (1945), Dean Carleton (1946-47) and William Woodson (1948-53). Stacy Harris had the lead role of Special Agent Jim Taylor. Others in the cast were William Conrad, Bea Benaderet and Jay C. Flippen. The show was created by producer-director Jerry Devine, a former comedy writer for Kate Smith and Tommy Riggs, who had turned his scripting talents to radio thrillers like Mr. District Attorney. This is Your FBI received the full cooperation of J. Edgar; Hoover gave Devine carte blanche to closed cases in the Bureau’s files for inspiration in writing the show’s weekly dramatizations. They were prefaced, of course, with the Dragnet-like disclaimer “All names used are fictitious and any similarity thereof to the names of persons or places, living or dead, is accidental.” (This led Jim Cox, author of Radio Crime Fighters, to observe: “Some listeners must have pondered that for a while—‘So did these events happen or not?’”) Debuting over ABC Radio on April 6, 1945, This is Your FBI broadcast from New York in its early run (1945-47), showcasing the talents of New York radio veterans like Mandel Kramer, Karl Swenson, Santos Ortega, Elspeth Eric, Joan Banks, and Frank Lovejoy (who narrated many of the shows). In 1948, though, the program relocated to Hollywood, and with the move established a regular weekly character in Special Agent Jim Taylor, a representative of all of the Bureau’s special agents, played by actor Stacy Harris.
