The Fat Man | The Black Angel

In the podcast audio I said no dates were available, but later found more info with dates. This episode aired, July 8, 1946.

Story: Brad is hired by a man to find out why his wife is meeting with another man.

Most of the U.S. productions are no longer in circulation, but many of the Australian episodes still exist. The Fat Man was produced on Australian radio from September 1954 to 1955 for 55 episodes. With the Brad Runyon role played by actor Lloyd Berrell (b. 02/1926 – d. 12/1957).

The Fat Man was credited to Dashiell Hammett (b. 1894 - d. 01/1961), author of The Thin Man.

The U.S. version (1946-1951) was broadcast from WJZ studios in Newark, New Jersey, and syndicated on the ABC Radio Network.

Suspense | Orson Welles in The Hitchhiker | Broadcast date: Wednesday, September 2, 1942

One of the great supernatural stories ever on radio, a modern classic. A cross country motorist sees a man by the side of the road, with spots of fresh rain on his shoulder... and he sees him over and over during his super-natural drive cross country.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater | The Chinaman Button | Broadcast: January 20, 1974

"Everybody's the same when it comes to money; it's the great leveler."

An advertising executive devises a ruse to embarrass a scrupulously honest rival, telling him he'll receive a $1 million "inheritance" from a distant, wealthy — and nonexistent — cousin if he authorizes the relative's murder.

Starring: Paul Hecht, Mason Adams, Ralph Bell, Evie Juster, Will Hare
