Are you ready for a mystery? Get ready to unleash your inner sleuth. Every day Monday-Saturday, Host Adam Graham will feature a different detective audio drama from the Golden Age of Radio. Our current mystery-solving line-up of radio detectives includes Sam Spade, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, Dangerous Assignment, Philo Vance, and Tales of the Texas Rangers.
Whether you’re wanting to listen to a mystery before going to sleep or enjoy some drama while driving, or just feel nostalgia for old-school radio fiction, we have you covered with six audio dramas every week.
First up, “The Man Called X: Operation Cabal”
Ken goes to a country in the southern hemisphere to prevent a revolution.
Original Air Date: May 27, 1952
Next up, “Yours Truly Johnny Dollar: The Cut Bono Matter”
Johnny continues his investigation into the killing of a county attorney by his daughter. Was it really an accident or something else? A lot of townspeople don’t like him asking.
Original Radio Broadcast Dates: February 15, 16, and 17, 1956
