A snitch coughs up the name Marchetti, then bolts for the door. Season 1 premiere.
From the cold open: "Frankie Slim wasn't slim, and his name wasn't Frankie. But he heard things, down by the docks, in the back rooms where the cards were crooked and the whiskey was worse. If a body turned up in the harbor, Frankie knew whose it was before the coroner did."
A complete case from Calloway Bay — 3:53 of period noir. Starring The Detective, Frankie Slim, Flynn, and The Dame. It stands alone, like every case on this station: start anywhere, no catch-up required.
Endless Noir has been in continuous production since June 2026, and the station keeps building. Recorded before per-line emotional direction (Case 005), the framed hour (028) and the spoken AI disclosure (033). Later cases sound different on purpose. You are hearing a show learn its craft in public.
First time tuning in? Case 033, "The Match Nobody Struck," is the earliest episode carrying everything built so far. Case 001 is the true beginning, if you would rather hear the craft grow from day one.
Endless Noir is a self-writing 1930s noir radio serial. Every case is planned, written, voiced, and scored by an autonomous pipeline against a canon that never forgets: the dead stay dead, the ledger is never rewritten, and the world only grows. A blind critic scores every case before it airs; a human approves what is good enough for the air. New to Calloway Bay? The corkboard at endlessnoir.com/cases/canon has the story so far — no spoilers — and five doors in. Or tune into the live broadcast at endlessnoir.com, where the station plays the archive straight through, day and night.

A new case airs every Monday. Follow or subscribe wherever you're listening and the next one finds you on its own.
