From out of the pulps comes Nick Carter, Master Detective! This week "another case for that most famous of all man hunters - the detective whose ability at solving crime is unequal in the history of detective fiction - Nick Carter, Master Detective."

The character of Nick Carter goes back to 19th century detective stories as one of the staples of early Street & Smith publishing. Nick Carter may be the most published character in American fiction. By the time radio got a hold of him, the character had evolved into a private investigator. Starring Lon Clark (right) for the whole series.

I'll look a little at the history of this pulp character and the strange ride he took over the last 100 years! This week's episode: The Echo of Death.

This week a look at one of the longest running detective series on radio. Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons was in some ways not much more than a light drama produced by the soap drama factory of Frank and Anne Hummert. Yet, it had its share of crime and death. It was also extremely popular in its day and often remembered by many youngsters who listened to radio at the time.
