0:55
we have a couple other podcasts I do old Time Radio out there. We
0:59

1:04
a couple other listeners during the summer and you can listen to that at laser

1:22
and a half months or so, so you can check out that podcast for
1:26
a look at World War Two through old time radio. Well, now it's
1:30
time for today's episode of Patnovak for Hire Joe Condano at Novak War Hire.
2:07
Sure, I'm Pat Novak for Hire. That's what the sign on in the
2:30
front of my office says at Novak for Hire. It's an easy way to
2:35
put it, because if you're going to make a living down on the waterfront
2:38
in San Francisco, you got to do everything but run for office. I
2:43
rent boats and kick around a few scruples. If the price is right,
2:47
it's a living. And if anything goes wrong, you can always get your
2:52
mother a visitors past. If you do get in trouble, you go first
2:57
class all the way. I found that out. When I first met Doreen
3:02
Wilde was almost dark and I was sitting in the office with the door open
3:08
when she first showed up. Showed up to the right word. The wind
3:15
was blowing outside and pushed her dress tightly against her legs as she walked in.
3:22
She was young. From what I could see. She made Cleopator look
3:25
like apple Mary. She had a voice like a bowl of warm stew.
3:32
Hello are you mister Novak? That's my story. I'm Dorian wild MONDAVI saidan
3:39
on your desk here, you'll block the view. You'll get used to the
3:43
new one there. Now lean back and let me look at you. Mm.
3:53
I want to hire you, mister Novak, after the looker before.
3:57
You've got a power complex. Darling. You know a man named Joe Condonald.
4:02
He's a gambler out on Geary Street friend of yours. I don't just
4:05
like him that much. Well, you have business connections. That's why I
4:10
want to hire you to give him some money tonight. A needy case or
4:13
a bad debt. A bad debt, Condono has an iou for my brother
4:17
for ten thousand dollars. You can go from there. Not if I'm supposed
4:19
to say it was a fixed game. Condonah's been around a long time,
4:23
that's right. There are only two kinds of gamblers in this town, honest
4:26
ones and dead ones. So if your brother owes ten grand, you better
4:29
pay. That's why I'm hiring you. Just pay off can Donald and make
4:31
sure you get the pictures pictures of the Grand Canyon. Huh. We'll talk
4:35
about my past another time. For the moment, we'll just say you're photo
4:39
check. That's right. Your brother can't get the ten grand, so Condnah's
4:44
shaking you down. Yes, I'll bet you make a nice rattle. How
4:49
did Condonah get the pictures? My brother gave him to him? You got
4:53
a charming brother, you see only his better side. Will you do the
4:57
job for one hundred dollars? How long is it going to take? Two
5:00
hours? Maybe? You have to meet with my brother. To meet with
5:03
your brother a hundred bucks, as Coolly wages. You'll give you the information,
5:06
then you can see con Donald. Where do I meet your brother?
5:10
Room seven twenty nine the Dixie Hotel. He'll be there about eight thirty packing
5:14
crate down on Powell Street. Your brother's acutie. I know why knows it
5:16
wouldn't go in there. We'll meet you there at eight thirty. Oh,
5:20
are you're going to be there? Yeah? Do you mind? I can
5:26
stand it. Did you carry a spare battery without gleaming your eye? Here?
5:30
One hundred bucks covers that too. See you at eight thirty. She
5:44
smiled at me, and I felt like a guy that just found an oil
5:46
well in the basement. There were a lot of things about the deal.
5:49
I didn't like that. She kind of made you forget. I kept remembering
5:55
her as she walked out of there with a slow, easy gait. She
5:59
had knee acts and to make a Nash jealous well. I hit the Dixie
6:03
Hotel about eight twenty five. It was the kind of a hotel that has
6:08
a four am checkout rule. There were two or three guys sitting around reading
6:12
tip sheets and over in the corner, a couple of well upholstered gals.
6:15
We're talking about recipes. I guess the desk clerk was the worst of a
6:19
lot. He looked like a guy that might have been expelled from Alcatraz.
6:24
Nobody looked up as I walked through. When I got the seven twenty nine,
6:27
I knocked. There was no answer, so I opened the door and
6:31
walked in. There was a bed lamp on and a lot of smoke in
6:34
the room. Through the smoke, I could pick out the committee, and
6:38
they were crazy about me. One in looking for someone. Yeah, yeah,
6:43
but she's got a better figure than you do. No, she's not
6:46
here. I'll just run along. You need the ventilation, I said,
6:50
close to the door. I'll sit down. Sit down on the bed there.
6:55
You're a tough host, so I'm broken hotted. Just be a good
7:00
boy now and give it to me. You got the wrong guy. Give
7:02
it to me fast, mister. I don't know what you're talking about.
7:04
I came up here to meet somebody already met him. I run across better
7:08
people and sewers now look to meet here. I'm not gonna say this once
7:11
more, so make a copy. You got the wrong guy. You think
7:12
I got something, I haven't got it. No, no, So you
7:14
and your playmates swing out of here in your tails. I never saw you
7:15
into three minutes ago, and I'm tired of the friendship already. All right,
7:19
Eddie, go through this guy's coat. Sure. Now wash your hands,
7:25
Junior, and then put them in your own pockets. You you got
7:30
a favorite profile, fella, because I'm gonna put this gun on one side.
7:34
Take your choice, grab him, hold him up, all right,
7:45
Eddie, Now you don't have to wash your hands. I woke up with
8:01
a head the size of Rhode Island. I rolled over and tried to get
8:05
up, but I was about as strong as a moth in a wind tunnel.
8:09
The room was dark and I couldn't see very well. It was a
8:13
stale, musty odor. Could have been a marathon dancers dressing room with a
8:18
little fixing up, the sort of place you wouldn't be found dead in.
8:22
It was a guy lying next to me who didn't feel that way about it.
8:28
One look at the guy and I could see was dead from the crew
8:30
cut down. Somebody wrapped a towel around his throat and forgot to say when
8:35
I should have got out of there right then. But I used my brain
8:37
like a bottle of medicine, a small dose every three hours. I stood
8:43
there looking down at him, felt like a guy that's just rolled a seven.
8:46
The second time out. A small chunk of light squeezed through the door,
8:50
and I could see particles of dust settling on his face. He was
8:54
lying there, straight and white faced, with a little bit of scowl,
8:58
as if he didn't like the idea. I went through his wallet and found
9:03
a few bucks and some identification enough to prove he was Frank Wilde, Doreen's
9:09
brother. Oh, it looked nice and clear. They've done everything but Pinley
9:13
ioe, you and his shirt. Well. I couldn't wait around, because
9:18
when homicide got there, I was going to be as popular as a can
9:20
of salmon on Friday. Homicide meant Inspector Helman, a guy that couldn't even
9:24
make the vice squad. We were as close as a piccolo and a bass
9:28
trombone. I got to thinking about him and have decided to get out of
9:31
there. It was a good idea. Five minutes ago, Hello Novank,
9:43
Oh Helman, small wake, Uh, just a few close friends. You
9:48
always dropped by Room seven twenty nine this time tonight. I got a bad
9:50
memory for faces. Who's your friend? His name's Frank Wilde. That's one
9:54
man soon I was supposed to meet him here at eight thirty. That's another.
9:58
You got a thirty Who killed? I don't know, Helman, Maybe
10:01
three or four people, Maybe a pack of lugs from Joe can Dono's.
10:03
Yeah, I think you're modest Novak. I think maybe you killed him.
10:07
Oh yeah, sure, I wrapped the tolerant of his neck, beat myself
10:09
to death with a pistol, and jumped into the same grave. Maybe.
10:13
Oh, stop at Helman. That isn't smart. That still leaves you in
10:15
the running. I came up here to make a hundred bucks. That's all
10:16
I know about it. Check down at the desk. They'll tell you.
10:20
I checked. On the way up. The desk, clerk says, room
10:22
seven twenty nine is in your name. Get your dough back, Helman,
10:26
you've been hijacked. Yeah, look up a gal named Doreen Wilde. Who
10:28
is she? The stiff sister? He got in a jam with Joe Condno
10:31
and bailed himself out with some pictures. Oh what kind of pictures? You
10:37
Just look her up and find out where she was at nine o'clock tonight.
10:39
I got a bird in the hand and call on Joe Candno his Gunzel's held
10:41
a convention here tonight. That's too much legwork. You're handy, Novak.
10:45
I can't afford a bum rap Helman. Get yourself another boy. You get
10:46
me one your hotel room. There's a dead guy in it, and you've
10:50
got a bad record. I can make that add up for the DA.
10:52
You can't add a pair of zero's without crib notes, helmet. I can
10:54
try hard, and I'll be all through in twenty four hours. That's how
10:58
long you've got, Novak. You got one day, and you're not gonna
11:00
be lonesome because I'm gonna put a tail on you the whole time. That'll
11:03
be fun. I'm gonna know where you are every minute. Stop posing.
11:07
You couldn't follow an elephant across a basketball court. Just stay handy, Novak.
11:11
I'll be ready. I'm gonna fingerprint this room and run that towel through
11:13
a test, and then I'll be ready. Yeah, you better watch out
11:16
for that toe. Huh. Remember when it comes to towel's helm and you
11:20
have to start from scratch. Well, when I left Helman was smiling like
11:35
an Academy Award winner. I didn't blame him, because from my side of
11:39
the road things looked rough. From here in he could play a pat hand
11:43
and come out all right. There are only two other people, Joe Candano
11:48
and that girl. I was real worried, so I looked up the only
11:52
honest guy I know, a next doctor and a boozer by the name of
11:56
Jack o'madigan. He was all right, for a guy who tries to drink
12:00
all the whiskey in the world every night. Only some night he's gonna make
12:03
it. I finally found him at the Bellevue Hotel, hold up in the
12:07
hunt room. He was getting a most he could out of a bottle hold
12:09
whiskey and young ideas. It was ten o'clock and he was carrying a bigger
12:13
load than the Berlin airlift. Oh a drink from mister Novaka and one for
12:22
me. I'll have to catch up, skip me. You're busy, chuckle.
12:24
I'm deep in the labor of love. What happened to your faith?
12:28
I got a better offer. I'm in a jam, Jocko. You gotta
12:31
help me. You're always in a jam. You're the eternal patsy. Also,
12:35
you're my solitary reason for going on forget a juckle. Well, you're
12:39
the last project Providence has allowed me, an old derv that fate has thrown
12:45
me to nibble on. I'my your conscience, you know, all right?
12:48
All right? You have no conscience of your own. Oh you have fleeting
12:52
moments of fright, which you confuse is moral sense, but no conscience.
12:56
All right, let's get off the potform, shall we. I need help
12:58
quick er? What kind of jam A big one? Yeah? I woke
13:01
up about an hour ago holding hands with a dead man. Where Room seven
13:05
twenty nine at the Dixie Hotel. I hope you changed rooms. Hellman walked
13:09
in and found me praying for the dead. He's got an idea. I
13:11
did it a shrewd policeman. I was the second feature. We opened it
13:15
with a pistol whipping by Joe Condonald's gunsles. Oh you gotta help me?
13:18
What drink till? Helman's got a guy telling me I gotta go slow JACKO.
13:24
I want you to hit Condano's place and pick up every scrap of dope
13:26
with you, I'd look out of place in the gambling joint. There's a
13:30
bar to other joint find out when the boys got back. Did you plan
13:33
to be hiding under a rosebush? I'm going up to see a girl.
13:37
She's the dead guy's sister. Are you going up to extend sympathy. She's
13:41
mixed up too. Candnah's holding some blackmail pictures. Let's reverse the assignment now.
13:48
Look you see candnal out tagged by Dreen Wilds's place. Eh, she
13:52
must be Harry Wilde's daughter. Who's the money crowd? To use a low
13:56
term, what's you like? I retired Octo per after he got sick chasing
14:01
cigarette girls. He settled down to be a social worker. Now he's like
14:05
all social workers, a guy who's embarrassed because he wasn't born poor, and
14:11
for years he's been annoying the poor by trying to help them at can Donald's
14:15
place. Now, if you hit anything good for me at her apartment,
14:18
keep out of trouble. I'd say the same to you if it weren't futile.
14:22
Good night, lover. When I walked out, Geary Street was cold
14:37
and deserted. The fog had moved in and staked out of claim all the
14:41
way down on Market street. There were two marines across the street arguing,
14:50
so I didn't hear it at first. When I got out of range,
14:54
I began to hear the footsteps behind me. I stopped once, and the
15:01
footsteps broke off. I walked on a few yards, and the footsteps are
15:05
right behind me. They had a familiar ring, and I was sure it
15:09
was either Helman or a water buffalo. When I stopped and waited, Helman
15:13
locked up. You're out late, no VC, what happened to that tale?
15:20
He asked for more dope. I put our best man on it.
15:22
Where are you going? Well, now, I'll bet you get some real
15:24
good answers on that question. How are you going? Smart boy? Doreen
15:26
Wild's apartment? Yeah? Why to find out where she was at nine o'clock
15:30
to night. It won't do you any good. Why coroner's report the guy
15:33
got knocked off about seven o'clock tonight. Well, he took a long time
15:35
dying. That towel was a joke. If he wasn't strangled, he would
15:39
have been red faced. He wasn't. Let me guess, Helman. He
15:41
died of lingering malaria. Yeah, he was poisoned. That means he was
15:45
dead when you brought him in. Yeah, that changes things a little.
15:50
Let me keep your no back. I'm busy anyway. Yeah, yeah,
15:54
checking your alibi for seven o'clock. I had no alibi for seven o'clock.
16:11
That was right after the girl left my office. Oh, I might be
16:14
able to dig up a witness that wasn't sure. It's like asking a horse
16:18
if he's going to win the derby. Well, questions were piling up.
16:23
So I dropped by Dreen Wiles's apartment. I began to wonder was right next
16:30
door to Candano's place. When she opened the door, I thought out,
16:34
what the right kind of breakfast food will do. She was wearing a slack
16:40
suit without much slacking. She was swinging slightly in a warm, slow way.
16:48
Well, there was any rhythm there. It's the kind you hear one
16:51
thousand miles down the Amazon. When she said hello, you knew it was
16:56
all chemistry. I missed you at Room seven nine. This alte just as
17:00
well. I mean, yeah, they're wearing your face a different style.
17:07
Yeah. Con Donah's boys didn't like it the old way. I like it.
17:11
I like it very much. Then what happened to you tonight? Frank
17:14
was supposed to pick me up. He didn't come back. I see your
17:17
brother finally showed up at the hotel. Yeah, yeah, he paid off
17:19
that I owe you. Is that a quaint way of telling me he's dead?
17:22
I suppose, Oh, don't sob so loud, you'll wake the neighbors.
17:26
You know by this time that to me, Frank was a poor excuse
17:27
at best, nothing more. Besides, I knew he was dead. Father's
17:33
down there now identifying the body. Just for the record, who has those
17:36
pictures? Now? And donah? I suppose his boys piled me tonight looking
17:40
for something. I got the idea it wasn't my social Security number. Oh
17:42
you better busy. Yeah, they're gonna book me for Frank's murder. Just
17:45
call me, Patsy. You need a drink and it can wait. Now.
17:49
Look, you're gonna save some time if you tell me right now.
17:51
No, I didn't kill Frank. I'll be willing to contribute to a shrine
17:55
for the man who did. How about can donah? I don't know.
17:57
In fact, I don't know mister Donald fursded. Yeah, go ahead,
18:07
Patsy. I'll give you five thousand dollars to find out who killed Thanks.
18:11
Oh, I'll admit it was a good idea of killing you, but I
18:14
want to see the family name cleared up. Why don't you change names?
18:17
That's easy? Will you do it? I may hang and you can save
18:22
you're five grand as you drink. The money might help to the call out
18:27
a pardon suit you say, they don't understand there balancing that drink it?
18:37
Do you know you're an interesting guy, Patsy? I like you? Yeah?
18:45
Yeah, don't snowball statement? Why'd you make it? Then? Seems
18:49
safe enough? Be sure you're a little clothes Patsy? Are you sure this
18:57
boy? I don't care? Come here, baby, what's on your mind?
19:07
I can die? Do the guy? Jee? Looks like you got
19:11
an offer? Father, you forgotten his key? Excuse me, I'm on
19:18
over. Father. W did meet mister Novak? Yeah? They think I
19:22
killed your son? Hi, he's the one I told you about. Oh
19:26
yes, yes, now I remember. It's probably for me. Hello,
19:32
Oh oh yeah, I think so. I'll be right there. I got
19:40
to run, darlings only be gone a while. Father, keep mister Novak
19:44
sober. I'll pick up from there. Good night, Father. Do you
19:48
do a remarkable girl? She's active too? Does she always sail out for
19:56
a night camp a remarkable girl, more so than Frank's. I'm afraid so
20:03
he seems like I'm better dead man. At least he's more harmless that way.
20:07
Perhaps that sounds unbecoming of a father. He looks better that way,
20:12
So to yourself, I've never made any attempt to camouflage my feelings. I'm
20:17
fond of my daughter and my son. I've loaned in a casual way.
20:23
He's a mishap of nature, which for years I've been content to blame on
20:27
his mother, this matter of a gambling debt case in point. You know
20:33
about that? Oh yes, plus Jane's liberal contribution to the problem. By
20:38
the way, mister Nova, who did kill him? That? Maybe you
20:44
did? No, I'm not a doer. I just cheer from against excuse
20:52
me, Hello, it's yeah, hello, hello, Patchie. I'm down
21:03
at Condona. I know that. What'd you find out? Never played two
21:07
and eight on a rule at all? Right, dropped the clowning, and
21:10
I found out about your friend. Yeah. They came in about ten o'clock,
21:14
so that puts them right in line. No, not anymore. The
21:17
guy got knocked off at seven o'clock. Oh, impatient, wasn't he?
21:21
In that case, you'd better start looking for a tire between the girl and
21:25
Gondana. Not a chance. She doesn't even know Condona. She makes friends
21:30
very quickly. Then, because she just walked into his office, all things
21:44
were beginning to fall into place. If the girl and Condonna were that chummy,
21:48
they were using those pictures to squeeze the old man. Probably. There's
21:52
only one thing about it that didn't make sense. Why did Condano's boys beat
21:56
my brains out? If he had the pictures all along? Well? I
22:00
talked to the old man a while, and then I headed for Condono's joint.
22:04
They were closed when I got there, so I went home to bed.
22:11
I'll be given a good price if tomorrow never rolled around. But the
22:14
sun was eating through the haze the next morning when I walked into Candano's place,
22:18
A sad old bitdy with a mop told me Condonah was in his office.
22:21
So I knocked in the door. Yeah, hello, Condnah, I'm
22:26
the guy your boy's pistol whipped man. Come on in. I wouldn't worry.
22:33
Maybe you'll heal handsome. Thanks, I'm sorry about that. I'll bet
22:37
you are. Oh that's the way you'll get it. It won't come and
22:38
grave if I say I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Oh you're full of tears.
22:41
You're gonna shed one when they send me up on a bum murder rap.
22:45
No, I'll buy you a handkerchief. Though. If you got the
22:45
time, you might tell me what Doreen Wilde was doing in here last night.
22:48
What are you kid? Maybe we're in love and maybe you're putting a
22:51
screws on old man wild Hello. Yeah, did you tell anybody you were
22:59
coming in? No? Just the birdie, it's for you. Yeah,
23:03
hello Jacko. When where I'm sitting it doesn't make sense? Oh of course
23:11
not. Yeah, y'all let you know how you're feeling. Canna get to
23:18
that point, Novec. They found a dead guy out in the marina this
23:22
morning. He was shot and banged up badly, but they identified him.
23:26
What's that? Nothing except the identified him as Joe can Donno confused. Ah,
23:33
there's a guy named Deddy Darrow, friend of yours. Yeah, yeah,
23:37
I guess he was. What does that prove? Prove? Slots Novak,
23:42
It proves unless you're find her in a cemetery. Never trust a woman
24:00
well with a good assist from deep short. We could make it now,
24:02
I knew that, and Donnah was mad about something and the lid was gonna
24:04
blow. I called Helman. His lid was gone ten minutes ago. He
24:08
had the murder gun and it belonged to old man Wild. A messenger walked
24:11
in and put it on the sergeant's desk a few hours ago with no explanation.
24:17
That was the clincher. From here on in, it was cakes and
24:18
ale. I told Helman what I knew. He picked me up at Gary
24:22
and Taylor and we headed for the Wild apartment. The girl and the old
24:25
man were in the living room whom we walked in. Everybody had breakfast.
24:26
Tatsy, I didn't know you came out Hill after dark. We just wanted
24:30
to call on your old man. Wow, this is Inspector Helman. Is
24:33
there anything I can do? Your ambitious Wild? Helman's here to arrest you
24:37
for murder. I'm a mule, but not frightened. They might have gone
24:41
easy on you for killing your son, but not Eddie Daryl. And who
24:44
is Eddie Darree? The guy you thought was Condna when you killed him last
24:47
night? Your daughter was helping him put on that squeeze. She even sent
24:48
in your gun this morning. Please, Dory, tell these men well starting
24:55
backfield, Hello, Condnad'll step aside. Novack. You don't need that gun,
24:57
Joe full on, all right, Push the guy out there, Push
25:02
the guy out there again. But these are bad odds. Joe. Just
25:03
keep talking, just keep talking aloud, and when you stop all of a
25:07
sudden, you'll know I'm through it. You made the first witch, Joe.
25:08
I didn't trust you, so I sent Eddy Darrow up. He was
25:11
a good guy, and I, like I didn't killing Joe. You made
25:15
it easy, though, say him fast baby here at common watch the old
25:19
man and give me that gun. Yeah, I keep shooting the wrong people
25:29
around here. I'm sorry, Bungle. Yeah, yeah, you bungled Joe.
25:37
That's the old guy Novak. He should live so long, holme and
25:41
he's dead. Gonna need me soon, Yeah right, now, come on,
25:47
Joe, tag my headquarters, Novak. Sure, well, it's a
25:56
fun one at last. Yeah, I'm sorry he jumped in front of me.
26:02
He didn't have to do it. No, but you expected it.
26:06
I suppose I made to expect things, Petsy, and you're not gonna mind
26:12
this. I expected that too, you can slap me, but don't leave
26:21
me. Patsy, I don't want to be alone. You got a cigarette,
26:29
They're on the table. See match, Patsy, you go build your
26:36
own fire. I'm leaving these, Patsy, I don't want to be alone.
26:38
You won't. I'll send you a whistle goodbye. Oh it was a
27:07
sweet double cross right from the start. Frank pitched the first curve. He
27:14
stole the pictures from Candano's office the day of the payoff. He was going
27:18
to wait for the dough from his sister and skip. In the meantime.
27:22
The old man found out about it, killed the son, and left him
27:26
in the hotel after Candono's boys had cleared out. Oh, it would have
27:32
worked out all right, but Doreen found the pictures in the old man's room
27:36
and guessed what happened. She gave him back to Candono and then made a
27:41
deal with him to put a squeeze on the old man. And then she
27:45
double cross Candonnal by tipping off the old man that can Donnah was on his
27:49
way up. I guess he figured the girl for a fast play and sent
27:55
a pal instead. The old man didn't know the difference. He really thought
28:00
he killed Candonna, and then the girl wrapped it up by sending his gun
28:06
to headquarters. Now things had gone right, she'd have been right in the
28:11
middle of that gravy boat. Her brother and Candonna would be dead. Her
28:15
father would be up on a murder wrap. Once it started unravel, it
28:19
moved real fast. The first tip off I got was when she offered the
28:25
dough for her brother's killer. She'd have all that dough and on the books.
28:30
She lived on a field of her months snow she was feeling around between
28:36
somebody's shoulder blades, and from then on all the cards fell just right.
28:42
Candonah was probably right, they're not in the cemetery. Watch out well.
28:49
Hellman had only one question, Why would a guy want to kill off a
28:53
dame like that? After I saw the pictures, I wanted myself. The
29:12
Armed Forces Radio Service has just brought you Pat Novak for hire, Darring Jack
29:18
Webb. Pat Novak is produced by William P. Russo. Jack o'madigan is
29:22
played by Tudor Owen. Inspector Hellman is played by Raymond Burr. Music was
29:26
composed and conducted by Basil adnam Be with us again next week when over most
29:32
of these same stations we'll bring you pat Novak for Hire. Welcome back.
30:30
Well in terms of payment for trouble, this is probably one of those that
30:36
makes the last least sense for pant Novak overall. But anyway, we turned
30:42
out some listener comments and feedback. By the way, just glad that folks
30:48
are enjoying pant Novak for Hire. I've been posting some of the quotes from
30:56
various episodes as I record the show on Saturday nights, and had twenty eight
31:04
likes on Facebook of the last episode. So appreciate it, and you can
31:08
certainly go ahead and share this on Facebook, particular if you're on our Facebook
31:15
page. All right, well, listener comments. As I said from Uri,
31:21
who wrote, thank you for providing the old time radio attacks on podcasts.
31:27
I remember when my mom first introduced me to old time radio on cassette
31:32
and radio. I got hooked and couldn't get enough play cansettes over and over.
31:37
For some years, I haven't listened to any of the radio programs and
31:40
just recently stumbled across your podcast. Now at thirty one, I feel like
31:45
a kid again. I get anxious and waiting for the next attective radio program.
31:49
I love listening to Johnny Dollar, Nick Carter, Philip Marlow, and
31:52
Pat Novak for hire in the near future. Will you be airing The Shadow,
31:57
Not Beat, Green Horne or Near a Wolf Shadow and Green Hornet,
32:05
No, because they're not detectives in the conventional set, so I think some
32:09
of the Shadow stories could be considered detective. But The Shadows also has Collie
32:15
Right claims which I feel they're somewhat dubious, but really don't have time or
32:22
inclination to test in court. Near a Wolf we've already played and Not Beat
32:27
as definitely on the list of programs that would like to do someday, and
32:32
we'll probably be done on a Monday eventually, but we will play some preview
32:39
episodes. We've actually played the one episode that was aired Not Bait, because
32:46
they had four promotional reruns that were aired promoting Dangerous Assignment, Dragnet and Christopher
32:57
London, and we already did the promotional episode that aired for Christopher London,
33:01
and so we'll end up doing the Dragnet episode fairly shortly. All Right,
33:07
Well, that will do it for today. We'll be back tomorrow with the
33:12
Adventures of Philip Marlow and join us back here next Tuesday for Pat Novak for
33:15
Hire. In the meantime, send your comments to Box thirteen a great detectors
33:21
dot net and follow us on Twitter. Radio Detectives from Boise, Idaho.
