Classic Radio Theater with Wyatt Cox

Classic Radio for April 4, 2024 - The Man from Singapore, Unit 99, and the Magic Murder


Listen Later

First a look at this day in History.

Then The Mysterious Traveler, originally broadcast April 4, 1950, 74 years ago, The Man from Singapore.  Two schemers kill their ex-partner in Hawaii, planning the perfect crime. 

Followed by Unit 99, originally broadcast April 4, 1958, 66 years ago, Citizen at 26th and D Streets. The first call: meet a citizen at the corner of 26th and D Streets. 

Then Counterspy starring Don Maclaughlin and Mandel Kramer, originally broadcast April 4, 1950, 74 years ago, The Case of the Magic Murder. Counterspy operative Peters is shot in the head while filling out a security questionnaire with a famous European jet engine scientist. Only a famous brain surgeon, who happens to be in Venezuela, can possibly save the agent's life!   

Followed by Candy Matson starring Natalie Masters, originally broadcast April 4, 1949, 75 years ago, The Donna Dunham Case. Candy solves a jealous-lover murder and nearly falls victim herself.  This show may be either a preview or an audition, as the show didn’t begin running on the West Coast network of NBC until June of 1949.

Finally The Adventures of Superman, originally broadcast April 4, 1941, 83 years ago, Last of the Clipper Ships. Superman rescues Jimmy Olsen and "The Whistler," but there's another "Whistler!"
