Radio Detective Story Hour

Jim Widner lovingly curates and presents classic detective stories from the golden age of radio drama. Noir, mystery, suspense - all preserved and presented with historical context that enriches the listening experience. If you love hardboiled fiction, old-time radio, or just want to hear storytelling from an era when audio was the primary entertainment medium, this is a beautiful archive. The production quality of the original recordings varies, but that's part of the charm. Crackly audio from the 1940s telling a murder mystery feels exactly right.
