One radio series which I haven't listened to often is The Adventures of the Falcon. The character is best known for the motion pictures he appeared in during the 1940s. Back when QR77 would run their "12 Days of Christmas", every year they would include the episode "The Unwelcome Christmas Present" from December 20, 1951. That was the only time QR77 ever played an episode of the Falcon and in all the years since then, I've only heard one other episode of the show.
And the thing is, it's pretty good so far as radio private eye programs go. In this episode, a man buys a fur coat for his girlfriend; the next thing he knows, criminals are trying to get the coat from him. It must surely be a stolen coat worth a fortune - but if that's the case, why do the department store appraisers identify the fur as worthless? You can listen to it on archive.org here.
