This week another radio detective cum lawyer born from the daytime serial dramas.
Perry Mason on radio was wedged between two other "soap operas" and though it was also one, it was different from the others. I'll look at Earl Stanley Gardner and his famous lawyer who did a lot of detective work on the radio version. There were several actors who portrayed him on radio, but the most frequently remembered one was John Larkin (right).
Music under the commentary is "Midnight in Chicago" by the
Indianapolis Jazz Orchestra from Garageband.com.
