Welcome to 1001 Radio Crime Solvers - where you can enjoy the best radio detective stories from the golden age of radio. This was a time when TV was still in its infancy and radio was in its creative heyday- using top writers and top talent to capture huge audiences, and shows featuring hard boiled detectives like Sam Spade, Richard Diamond, Philip Marlowe, and Johnny Dollar competed for prime time with mental sleuths like Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown, and Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. And here you'll find standouts -like Dragnet's Joe Friday, Vincent Price's 'The Saint', and Michael Waring's free-lance troubleshooting investigator 'The Falcon'- to name a few. We release new episodes every Sunday at 5pm ET. We're a proud part of 1001 Stories Network. www.1001storiespodcast.com.2022 All Rights Reserved アート エンターテインメント・舞台芸術

    THE BIG INFORMANT and THE BIG DREAM DRAGNET
    2026/09/23
    SUMMARY FOR "THE BIG INFORMANT" DRAGNET RADIO EPISODE SUMMARY FOR "THE BIG INFORMANT" In the Dragnet radio broadcast "The Big Informant " (Episode 196), originally aired on March 22, 1953, Sergeant Joe Friday and his partner Frank Smith face mounting pressure to solve a two-month crime wave involving a dozen hit safes with zero solid leads . The plot centers heavily around police procedure, checking field interrogation reports, and navigating the unreliable nature of criminal informants. [ Key Plot Points
    • The Informant's Call: An informant named Ernie contacts Friday requesting an urgent face-to-face meeting to trade information.
    • The Interrogation: Friday and Smith track down ex-convict Otto Bronson, where their questioning reveals inconsistencies in his alibi.
    • The Evidence: A search of Bronson's room uncovers burglary equipment and a recently used cutting torch, leading to a high-stakes investigation to track down his accomplices
    In the Dragnet radio episode "The Big Dream " (broadcast March 29, 1953), Sergeant Joe Friday and his partner Frank Smith investigate an unusual robbery committed by an aging, impoverished man . [1, 2] Case Overview The Crime: An elderly, poorly dressed 72-year-old man named Arnold Peter Jefferson robs a local liquor store using a gun, but acts surprisingly polite and deeply apologetic throughout the holdup. [1] The Investigation: Friday and Smith track down and question the suspect, carefully documenting every procedural step of the interrogation and case file as typical of the series. [1, 2] The Motive: When questioned by the detectives, the lonely old man explains his sad motivation—he lived an ordinary, unremarkable life traveling the country on a small state pension and simply wanted to do "one big thing" so he could have a memory to stand out and feel important before his life ended. The Resolution: Jefferson is tried, found guilty of second-degree robbery, and sentenced to the state penitentiary, bringing a melancholy end to his desperate attempt at notoriety.

  • THE BIG LAUGH and THE BIG IMPOSTER DRAGNET

    THE BIG LAUGH and THE BIG IMPOSTER DRAGNET
    2026/09/20
    In the Dragnet radio episode "The Big Laugh " (Episode #194, originally broadcast March 8, 1953), Sergeant Joe Friday and Officer Frank Smith pursue a confidence trickster who scams lonely women out of thousands of dollars . [ Case Overview The Crime: A smooth-talking con man named Jonathan Benton (alias Jack Bentley / Thomas Conan) preys on lonely, middle-aged women by answering personal ads in local newspapers. [1] The Method: He sweeps the victims off their feet with a whirlwind romance, dinners, and promises of marriage. He then leaves town on a fake business trip, calls back claiming he lost his wallet and identification, and asks for a small loan of $100—an amount low enough to prevent the victims from panicking or going to the police. [1] The Investigation: Multiplying his scams across Los Angeles, Benton steals roughly $37,000 before Friday and Smith gather enough descriptions and new ad leads to track him down, arrest him, and secure a grand theft conviction. [1] THE BIG IMPOSSIBLE Detective Sergeant Joe Friday and his partner, Frank Smith, investigate a string of supermarket holdups and ID a prime suspect who appears physically confined to a bed in a sanitarium at the time of the crimes . Case Overview The Crime: A fast, experienced holdup man targets large supermarkets in Los Angeles, holding managers at gunpoint and escaping cleanly. The Investigation: Witnesses and victims positively identify a suspect named Hansen from police mugshots. The Twist: Official records, medical charts, and rest home staff confirm that Hansen suffers from a severe lung ailment and has been confined to his bed 24 hours a day for months, making his involvement seemingly impossible. The Resolution: Even as further robberies occur while the suspect remains bedridden, Friday and Smith must untangle how the identical modus operandi (M.O.) is being executed without their prime suspect ever leaving the facility.

  • THE BIG GUILT and THE BIG MOLE DRAGNET

    THE BIG GUILT and THE BIG MOLE DRAGNET
    2026/09/16
    🎙️ 1001 RADIO CRIME SOLVERS SHOW NOTES Dragnet – "The Big Guilt"

    In The Big Guilt, Friday and Smith investigate a brutal assault that leaves a young woman fighting for her life. What begins as a straightforward search for a suspect quickly becomes a tense, emotionally charged case as the detectives uncover layers of guilt, fear, and desperation among the people connected to the victim. Dragnet's trademark realism is on full display here: clipped dialogue, methodical police work, and the slow tightening of suspense as Friday and Smith follow a trail of half‑truths and evasions.

    The episode highlights how guilt can drive people to hide, lie, or lash out — and how the detectives must sift through conflicting stories to find the one person who knows the truth. It's a strong example of Dragnet's ability to blend human drama with procedural detail, reminding listeners that behind every crime is a complicated web of emotions and consequences.

    Dragnet – "The Big Mole"

    The Big Mole takes Friday and Smith into the world of undercover informants — the "moles" who risk their lives to feed information to the police. When one of these informants disappears under suspicious circumstances, the detectives must determine whether he's gone into hiding, been silenced, or simply turned on the department. The investigation leads them through smoky bars, back‑alley meetings, and tense conversations with people who know far more than they're willing to say.

    This episode shines a light on the fragile relationship between police and their informants — a relationship built on trust, fear, and necessity. Friday and Smith must navigate that delicate balance while racing against time to find out what happened to their missing mole. It's a tightly written story that captures Dragnet's gritty authenticity and the moral gray areas that come with undercover work.
