We're now at part 3 of our look at Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. This week I'll focus on the portrayal of the detective by actor Edmond O'Brien. This run of the series takes on a much darker less whimsical tone as created by the new producer Jaime De Valle.
Oct 23, 2006
Continuing the look at the history of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. I'll be looking at the first serial Johnny Dollar - actor Charles Russell (right) and how he approached the character. I'll also look at how he differed from Dick Powell's portrayal that was heard in the previous podcast.

Music under is "Evansessence" by Anne Farnsworth from the Podshow Music Network.
Oct 16, 2006
This week the start of a series looking at the history of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and how it changed over its 13 year history. This week's is an audition recording starring Dick Powell as Johnny in an episode that never aired.
Oct 9, 2006
Another police procedural radio series besides Dragnet was 21st Precinct. It was in some ways even more straight-forward than Jack Webb's version. This show looked at the 21st precinct of a New York City borough and the people who lived and died in it.
Oct 2, 2006
This week an extensive look at the history of The Saint, aka Simon Templer and its author Leslie Charteris (right). I'll look at the different media appearances of the series plus snippets of interviews with one of Charteris' biographers Dick Fiddy.

Interview clips come from Geoffrey Richards and the BBC.

Music under is "Fantasia" by Duke Ellington.
