Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar follows radio's toughest freelance insurance investigator as he tracks down fraud, blackmail, and murder one expense account at a time. In this run, from 1955 to 1956, Bob Bailey took over the role and brought a world-weary, wisecracking edge to Johnny, with each case unfolding across a week of tight, cliffhanger-driven quarter-hour episodes rather than a single half-hour story. Sharp scripts from writer-director Jack Johnstone and a deep bench of radio's best character actors make this stretch a favorite among old-time radio fans and often cited as the series at its peak. It's hardboiled detective fiction built for serialized listening, decades before the podcast binge existed.Copyright 07 Audio Network Scienze sociali
