I believe the absolute best detective of the Golden Age of Radio has to be Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. The insurance investigator with expense account, Johnny solve all types of crimes, mysteries, fraud and did it with style. There were several actors who played Dollar but the best was Bob Bailey (Check out Let George do it the series that he did before YTJD) Bailey played Dollar through most of the 1950's but my favorite era was when the show ran for 15 minutes daily (Mon-Fri) and each week was a different complete 5 part story. It was the shows hey-day....I'm going to share a few of my favorites next couple weeks.... Here is all 5 episodes of the Nick Shurn Matter...Enjoy!!!
