The Fat Man makes this weeks post with their drama, Murder Wins the Draw. This episode is believed to have aired, April 1, 1949. "Believed" because it's very difficult to find matching air dates for The Fat Man.

Most of the U.S. productions are no longer in circulation, but many of the Australian episodes still exist. The Fat Man was produced on Australian radio from September 1954 to 1955 for 55 episodes. With the Brad Runyon role played by actor Lloyd Berrell (b. 02/1926 – d. 12/1957).

The Fat Man was credited to Dashiell Hammett (b. 1894 - d. 01/1961), author of The Thin Man.

The U.S. version (1946-1951) was broadcast from WJZ studios in Newark, New Jersey, and syndicated on the ABC Radio Network.

This week is The Zero Hour (with host Rod Serling), with chapters 3 & 4 of their story, Desperate Witness. July 27 will bring the final chapter of the story.

There are vastly different dates for The Zero Hour episodes, so I'm not going to give any date, but I believe this aired close to the end of 1973 (some sites say 1974).

Story by Kenneth Fearing; a study of deadly obsession. Cast: Richard Crenna, Keenan Wynn, and Julie Adams.

This wonderful week we listen to episode 13 from The Mysterious Traveler, titled The Good Die Young. This episode aired February 27, 1944.

Story: Young Sandra, a beautiful clever child, is extremely close to her father, Stephen. He has recently married again and Sandra hates his new wife, Helen, for coming between their relationship. Sandra is willing to do anything to get rid of her. Then it will be just her and dear daddy again.

The Mysterious Traveler was a radio program, comic book, and magazine. The radio series aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System from December 1943 to September 1952. The popular introduction was voiced by Maurice Tarplin.

Mollé Mystery Theatre | Nightmare | November 28, 1944

Vince has a nightmare dream that he has committed a murder and woke up to the fact that he may have actually murdered someone. In the bouncing glare of the headlights the narrow shoreline road twisted and turned dangerously. Sign posts, constant pine trees, driveways to darkened estates whirled past Philip Adams as he raced through the night and behind the sirens grew louder and louder.

This weeks episode is the Crime Classics presentation, The Shockingly Peaceful Passing of Thomas Edwin Bartlet - Green Grocer. This episode aired June 22, 1953, on the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS).

Thomas Edwin Bartlett, was allegedly poisoned by his wife, Adelaide Blanche Bartlett, in the Pimlico district of London. A fatal quantity of chloroform was found in Mr Bartlett's stomach, despite having not caused any damage to his throat or windpipe, and no evidence of how it got there. Adelaide Bartlett was tried and acquitted for her husband's murder. By the jury's own statement in court Mrs Bartlett's acquittal was partly secured because the prosecution could not prove how Mrs Bartlett could have committed the crime. [parts from Wikipedia]
