The CBS series Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar (1949-1962) remains one of the most popular of all radio detective shows - it's probably my father's favourite, so it's fortunate for him that there are hundreds of episodes to listen to!
As I began this year's Christmas series with a look at one of OTR's earliest detective/crime programs (Calling All Cars), let's finish with one of the last - a Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar Christmas episode from December 20, 1959. Titled, "The Red Mystery Matter," our fabulous freelance insurance investigator is told to find a missing fishing guide. But as this is a Yuletide program, it's not business as usual - in fact, it's a conspiracy to give Johnny a special Christmas present.
