Classic Radio for March 18, 2024 - Murder in Black and White, Red Waves, and a Pistol Shot

Two + hours of Crime

First a look at this day in History.

Then Casey Crime Photographer starring Staats Cotsworth, originally broadcast March 18, 1948, 76 years ago, Murder in Black and White.  One murder follows another, with no "black and white" evidence behind the killings. Who says pictures never lie?

Followed by Dangerous Assignment starring Brian Donlevy, originally broadcast March 18, 1953, 71 years ago, Oslo Norway.  Steve Mitchell flies to Oslo, Norway to tackle "The Bureau," a gang that deals in stolen information. 

Then following a quick look at the news of the day, I Was a Communist For the FBI starring Dana Andrews, originally broadcast March 18, 1953, 71 years ago, The Red Waves.   The Party has a secret vessel off the coast to subvert the army as did Tokyo Rose. 

Followed by Nick Carter Master Detective starring Lon Clark, originally broadcast March 18, 1945, 79 years ago, Death Goes to the Post.   Nick has a $100 ticket on a dead jockey!

Finally The Weird Circle, originally broadcast March 18, 1945, 79 years ago, The Pistol Shot.   A duel of honor with a strange conclusion.
