OLD-TIME RADIO ESSENTIALS Episode 57: Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar

OTR-E returns with episode 57, and this time it's Paul's selection, and he's bringing us a five-part adventure of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, starring Bob Bailey in the title role. As always, you're invited to join Paul, Pete and Patte for the old-time radio, and stay for the scintillating (that's one word for it...) discussion afterwards!

As you listen, perhaps you'll learn if we feel this entry meets the following criteria:

1. Is it truly representative of that series? (Can anyone point to it and say, "Yes, that is what [NAME OF SERIES] was all about.")

2. Is it an episode worthy of inclusion in any and every OTR aficionado's private collection?

So with this in mind, we four bring you, as our fifty-seventh number (but 8th official episode of S5), this 5-part adventure of Johnny Dollar, from 1955. We'll introduce the show, play it in its entirety, then discuss it at length. Thanks for joining us, and we hope you enjoy it!

Next Time: It's Patte's pick again, and she'll bring us, for the edification of us Amuricanz, another CBC Radio comedy, plus a special guest who appeared on that series. Join us then, won't you?
