Radio Daze: Let’s Hit Up Some Dragnet For Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! Welcome to another edition of Radio Daze! This episode features a couple of classic episodes from none other than Dragnet. The hard hitting police drama first made it’s way to radio in 1949 and became a staple on both radio and television during the 50’s and 60’s. Created by and starring Jack Webb, Dragnet was known for it’s (mostly) authentic portrayal of police work from crime to punishment. It’s a classic show with those wonderful old school vibes. These two episodes are from the summer of 1951! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Radio Daze: Some “Pat Novak For Hire” For Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! Welcome to another episode of Radio Daze! This week we’re featuring the legendary Jack Webb, but not in the role for which he’s most famous. Before Joe Friday and Dragnet, Webb worked as San Francisco investigator Pat Novak in Pat Novak For Hire, an excellently quirky and well written detective show that wore its pulp roots on it’s sleeve. Webb got to show a lot more personality in this short lived show, which featured a young Raymond Burr as antagonist Inspector Hellman. Only running a couple of seasons at most, it’s still worth a listen and will bring a smile to your face! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: The Shadow Knows! Some Lamont Cranston and Margo Lane for your Old Radio Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another Old Radio edition of The Dogcast. In honor of “The Marvels” releasing today, I have for your listening pleasure three episodes of the classic old radio series “The Shadow.” These episodes are from the premier season in 1937 featuring none other than the legendary Orson Welles as the voice of the Shadow, the man who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. Delightfully campy with a solid score and some spooky stories, “The Shadow” is as close to an Old Radio superhero as you’re going to get! So Sayeth The Kendog!
