Here's a series I've never written about before: Casey, Crime Photographer. It was based on the pulp magazine hero and adapted to radio by Alonzo Deen Cole (best-known for the Witch's Tale) with Staats Cotsworth as Casey. It aired on CBS in the timeslot right after Suspense and apparently did very well at retaining Suspense's audience, evidently beating whatever NBC was airing in their timeslot.
There are a few episodes of Casey, Crime Photographer set during the holidays but I rather like the episode titled "Christmas Shopping" from December 19, 1946. Casey and his sidekick Ann happen to witness a man get pickpocketed - but when they confronted the man who was robbed, he denies having lost his money. Casey's convinced this is part of a scheme.
Another Christmas radio program tomorrow!
