Who Shat On The Floor At My Wedding? was a question shared by brides Helen McLaughlin and Karen Whitehouse after they tied the knot on 11 August, 2018 on a boat in Amsterdam. It was a question that launched a podcast, which led to the hiring of unqualified detective Lauren Kilby, the purchase of a €99 lie detector, and the bothering of some of the world’s best forensic experts - all in an attempt to find out “poo dunnit”.


For season 2, the investigative trio is back with a brand new mystery set in Sweden (Scandi Noir if you will) called The Case Of The Tiny Suit/Case. They now live by the phrase “when the cops say no, we say yes”. This season explores a serial act of reverse theft: a tiny three piece corduroy suit and a suitcase containing threatening items were planted on the victim’s veranda in the middle of nowhere. Our forensic experts are also back on board, not because they want to be, but because we asked really really nicely, (and Karen can be unnervingly persuasive).

Perry Mason is a fictional defense attorney who originally appeared in detective fiction by Erle Stanley Gardner. This long running radio drama had several actors who played the famous lawyer starting with Bartlett Robinson and then followed by Santos Ortega, Donald Briggs, and finally John Larkin who played the famous attorney after 1947. The radio portrayal of Perry Mason is a far more involved lawyer then the one who became famous on TV, the radio version would rather swap gunshots with evildoers than sit in a boring courtroom, waiting for the deliberation! The show was only 10 minutes and was more intense and favored action than courtroom drama. Perry Mason ran 12 seasons and moved to TV in the late 1950's with the now famous portrayal by Raymond Burr. Each show follows a continues story line similar to soap operas. Join us as we join Perry Mason in crime mysteries and court room drama.

The Legacy of 'The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Radio Show

The golden age of radio brought forth an era of storytelling that captivated the imagination of listeners worldwide. Among the most celebrated of these programs was 'The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.' This classic radio show, which aired from 1939 to 1950, brought the adventures of the world's most famous detective and his loyal friend Dr. Watson to life through the airwaves.

The show initially starred Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson, a pairing that became iconic for their portrayal of the detective duo. However, as the series progressed, Tom Conway took over the role of Holmes while Bruce continued his role as the affable Dr. Watson. This transition marked a new chapter in the show's history, offering a fresh take on the characters while maintaining the charm and wit that listeners had come to love.

The episodes, written by talents such as Edith Meiser, Denis Green, and Anthony Boucher, were based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories and also included new mysteries created specifically for the show. The writing was sharp, the mysteries were engaging, and the performances were top-notch, making 'The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' a staple in radio entertainment.

Listeners tuned in weekly to follow the intricate plots and thrilling suspense that each new episode promised. The show's success was not just in its storytelling but also in its ability to create a sense of community among its audience, who would gather around their radios to listen to the latest installment together.

The legacy of 'The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' continues to this day, with episodes available for streaming and download, allowing new generations to experience the magic of Holmes and Watson's adventures. The show stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Conan Doyle's characters and the timeless nature of good storytelling.

For those interested in experiencing this piece of radio history, many episodes of 'The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' are preserved and accessible to the public. These recordings offer a nostalgic journey into the past and a chance to relive the excitement of Holmes and Watson's investigations as they were originally broadcasted.

In conclusion, 'The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' radio show is a remarkable piece of entertainment history. Its influence on the portrayal of Holmes and Watson is undeniable, and its contribution to the art of radio storytelling is invaluable. As we look back on this classic program, we are reminded of the power of narrative and the enduring nature of Sherlock Holmes as a cultural icon.

Boston Blackie is a fictional character who has been on both sides of the law. As originally created by author Jack Boyle, he was a safecracker, a hardened criminal who had served time in a California prison. Prowling the underworld as a detective in adaptations for films, radio and television, the detective Boston Blackie was "an enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friend." The Boston Blackie radio series, starring Chester Morris, began June 23, 1944, on NBC as a summer replacement for The Amos 'n' Andy Show. Sponsored by Rinso, the series continued until September 15 of that year. Lesley Woods appeared as Blackie's girlfriend Mary Wesley, and Harlow Wilcox was the show's announcer. On April 11, 1945, Richard Kollmar took over the title role in a radio series syndicated by Frederic W. Ziv to Mutual and other network outlets. Over 200 episodes of this series were produced between 1944 and October 25, 1950. Other sponsors included Lifebuoy Soap, Champagne Velvet beer and R&H beer.

Pat Novak for Hire aired from 1946-48 on KGO Radio, and1949 on ABC Radio.Jack Webb (1946 and 1949) and Ben Morris (1947-48) played Pat Novak, a wisecracking freelancer who rents boats “and anything else that sounds like money.”
The plot of most Pat Novak episodes could be summarized as follows:The show begins with Novak talking about the sign he put out, “Pat Novak for Hire,” and then the soliloquy turns into a discussion of what a forsaken hole the San Francisco Waterfront is, and how lowdown corrupt and awful everyone and everything around Pat Novak is.
Novak is then approached by someone who offers him an unseemly sum of money to perform an apparently mundane task. Novak is suspicious of the offer but when pressed agrees to take it against his better judgment because there’s money involved. Novak heads out to a location where he meets up with and mouths off to the wrong person landing him flat on his back unconcious. When he awakes, there’s a dead body beside him.Within a minute, he’s nose to nose with Inspector Hellman, who promptly threatens to prosecute Novak for murder.
Novak and Hellman then trade insults, and then fearing for his life (back in the 1940s, you didn’t have seventeen years worth of appeals on death row) Novak looks up the “only honest guy I know, an ex-Doctor and a boozer by the name of Jocko Madigan. A good guy... ” at which point Novak makes a witty remark about Jocko being a drunk.Jocko waxes philisophical about how Novak got himself into the mess, declaring Novak hopeless, but still agreeing to help, Novak cajoling him all the way. Jocko is off to question witnesses and research public records.
At some point along the way, Novak runs into a woman who says Hello in a seductive voice. Odds are that she’s a manipulative sociopath.In the middle of the case, Hellman will either call Novak on the telephone or taunt him in person and reveal some aspect of the police’s investigation. Jocko will gather some information. And either Novak or Jocko will put it all together, and once the dead bodies are all in the morgue and the surviving suspects are locked up, Inspector Hellman will have only one question and Novak will provide his sarcastic answer to end the episode.
The big difference between Nova 1947 rip-off of Pat Novak, Johnny Madero is that Madero looks up “the only good guy I know,” Father Leahy. Johnny Madero hailed from Pier 23, while Pat Novak was on Pier 19. As a later Jack Webb show would say, “The names were changed to protect the innocent.”
That said, Radio Fans of the era loved Webb as Pat Novak. Breen left KGO and Webb with him. In 1947, KGO and ABC believed it could carry on Pat Novak without Novak and without writer Richard Breen. Letters poured in demanding that Webb be brought back, and in 1949 that’s just what happened.
What makes the series memorable?
Two things. First, the dialogue was rich. As Novak (and Madero) Webb delivered hilarious and rich similes, and transformed the put down into an art form. Jocko Madigan’s soliloquies ranged from the sublimely wise to the hilarious. The show carried a sense of free verse poetry rarely match in old time radio.Secondly, the show had flashes of brillance. When Webb and Breen began their work on KGO, Webb was 26, Breen was 28.
They were on the verge of success. Webb was three years away from creating the police procedural drama that would redefine the genre. Breen was three years away from his first Writers Guild Award Nomination and seven years from an academy award. In Pat Novak, the potential and promise of two young men on the verge of greatness shown through, particularly with the occasional departure from the show’s formula.
And while Pat Novak was hardly Dragnet for Private Investigators (i.e. a portrayal of what real life is like,) Novak was far more real than many of his hard boiled counterparts like the unflappable Sam Spade.
This feed features all the surviving episodes of Pat Novak for Hire starring Jack Webb as well as both surviving episodes of Johnny Madero. The episodes are hosted by Adam Graham with commentary and listener comments and feedback. They are part of the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio podcast.
