Crime does not pay...but, during the Great Depression, some might have argued that it DID pay - and pay very well, too. After the 1929 stock market crash, bank failures, Midwestern crop disasters, and mass unemployment became a daunting part of everyday life, resulting in the rise of the bank robber and gangster as folk hero rather than criminal threat. It would take the election of Franklin Roosevelt and the appointment of such charismatic crime fighters as Melvin Purvis, J. Edgar Hoover, and Elliott Ness to finally turn the tide against the criminal element, turning lawmen into heroes and, eventually, the common man against the criminal element.

In the 1930s, radio played a part in stemming the tide against crime - and never more so than in Calling All Cars, one of the earliest and most influential police procedural shows. Dramatizing true crime exploits and introduced by real-life law enforcement officials, Calling All Cars offered the gritty details of criminal activity in true "ripped from the headlines" style. Led by writer/director William N. Robson, the weekly series gave listeners the audio equivalent of a tough, down in the streets Warner Brothers crime drama, complete with car chases, low-life gunmen, high-crime bosses, frightened victims, and criminal cases that often hit very close to home. Kidnappings, petty thefts, murders, prison breaks, bunco schemes...all were raw materials for the creators of each show and details of all these crimes and more were used as the basis for the realistic dramas presented.

The influence of Calling All Cars extended far beyond its six-year run, acting as a blueprint for such later-day radio series as Dragnet and This is Your FBI. And, although this seventy-year-old series may seem a bit primitive to modern-day audiences, listening to the programs today instantly brings to mind such timeless movie classics as The Public Enemy, Little Caesar, and Scarface.

 
For its entire run, Calling All Cars was sponsored by the Rio Grande Oil Company and their patented brand of "cracked" gasoline. Luckily, thanks to the limited and expensive network lines of the 1930s, recordings of all of the programs were made for redistribution to the Southwestern states. This is marvelous news for radio buffs, since it means that most of the entire run of Calling All Cars still exists for us to enjoy today. Earlier, Radio Archives issued seven volumes of the series, with all of the programs transferred directly from the original transcription recordings. Now, we're proud to offer Calling All Cars, Volume 8, a ten hour set which, like our other collections, has been professionally restored for impressive audio fidelity. These rare and exiting shows are sure to occupy a special place in your personal library.

Aside from soap operas, kiddie shows, and dramatic anthology series, detective stories may well have been the most popular form of program during radio's "Golden Age". Beginning in the 1930 and ending only when network dramatic radio itself came to its conclusion in 1962, a wide range of detectives - everyone from Sherlock Holmes to Sam Spade to Ellery Queen to Johnny Dollar - were presented, in one fashion or another, to the listening audience.
 
In 1946, the most enduring version of the character was heard for the first time. Played by radio's jack of all trades, the inimitable Jackson Beck, the Frederick Ziv Company of Cincinnati, Ohio syndicated a series of 104 half-hour shows, also featuring Joan Alexander as Vance's secretary, in a program that would be recorded and aired in first run through 1950 and that would continue to be aired on local stations throughout the decade.
 
Heard today, Philo Vance is still great fun to listen to. The mysteries are suitably baffling, the suspects suitably suspect, the clues abundant, and it's hard to beat an old fashioned conclusion when all of the possible suspects are gathered into the same room, the alibis are unraveled, and the criminal is finally revealed to all. There's nothing particularly deep here, of course - no social commentary or multi-layered plotlines to unravel - just a great sounding series of interesting cases to solve.
 
If you're looking for truly enjoyable radio entertainment - and particularly if you love being an armchair detective yourself - you can't go wrong with Philo Vance, particularly in these twenty newly-restored shows from Radio Archives.

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #62
by George F. Worts
Read by Milton Bagby. Liner Notes by Robert Weinberg
 
 
“Meet 'Singapore' Sammy Shay! He’s the roughest, toughest sailor to sail the Seven Seas!”
 
Introducing one of the most popular and hard-boiled characters ever to roam the fabled pages of Argosy magazine. Singapore Sammy Shay is the toughest sailor in the South Pacific, scouring the coasts of Malaysia and the hundreds of islands in the vicinity, searching for his ne’er-do-well father who abandoned his family when Sammy was only two years old.
 
Written by George F. Worts, creator of the popular Peter the Brazen series under the pen-name Loring Brent, the Singapore Sammy adventures are among the few Argosy classics that can match the adventures of Brent's “The Man of Bronze” in intensity and action!
 
His full name is Samuel Larkin Shay, but few people know or recognize him by that name. Born in Cairo, Illinois, he’s spent the last six years of his life roaming the South Seas in the schooner, Blue Goose, skippered by Captain Lucifer Jones. It’s there that he’s known as Singapore Sammy, a vagabond sailor who’s hunting a man, a worthless roustabout known as Bill Shay. Shay was Sammy’s father, and when he deserted his family, Bill Shay took with him the only copy of a will leaving Sammy a fortune. Without that document, Sammy can’t claim a penny. For the past half-dozen years, he’s hunted for his father, following a trail that leads to the farthest ends of the Earth. In The Monster of the Lagoon, Sammy encounters one of the greatest surprises in his search for his father—as he finds himself actually battling a monster in a lagoon!
 
George F. Worts was born in Toledo, Ohio on March 16, 1892. Growing up in a port city, he became interested in telegraphy. As a teenager, he worked as a radio man on the Great Lakes. Afterwards, he shipped out, again as a radio operator to South and Central America.
 
In 1915, Worts decided to become a writer. He attended Columbia University for a year, got married, and started work as a reporter. A few years later, he started writing fiction, selling primarily to Argosy. In the 1930s, that pulp was considered to be the leading publisher of high adventure stories in the world. Worts became known as one of the magazine’s top writers and he contributed 45 novelettes and serials in that ten year period. Read by Milton Bagby.

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #63
Read by Michael C. Gwynne. Liner Notes by Will Murray
 
 
The premise of The Secret 6 was deceptively simple, yet pure pulp. An enigmatic adventurer known only as King busts out of Death Row to form an anti-crime group called The Secret 6. The others include The Key, The Doctor, Shakespeare, The Bishop, and Luga, as well as numerous underworld stool pigeons and hangers-on. All are wanted. So they operate outside the law.
 
The work of the wildly imaginative Robert J. Hogan, who pitted his World War I flying ace, G-8, against zombies, Martians, defrosted Viking warriors, and other bizarre foes, The Secret 6 battled sinister supervillains, a Mayan Bat-Man, a giant golden alligator and other outrageous menaces. Few pulp series stretched reality as did this four-issue Popular Publications title from 1934-35. There were no limits. That’s what made it a terrific read.
 
If you wanted to, you could call The Secret 6 "Doc Savage lite". The series followed a similar template––a group of adventurers pitting themselves against overwhelming threats. The big difference was that the leader, King, was no superman. Like Hogan’s G-8, he was a typical American he-man, not a fearless wonder-worker. King could feel fear, and make mistakes. He was not perfect, therefore the average reader could identify with him, and see himself in King’s shoes.
 
The third Secret 6 entry shows every indication of having been inspired by the famous Doc Savage novel, The Monsters. The premise is virtually identical––giant creatures are terrorizing the rural population. Authorities are helpless. Only the resourceful Secret 6 team is up to the challenge.
 
No doubt the inspiration for both of these pulp classics goes back to the 1933 film, King Kong. In The Monster Murders, we encounter ferocious packs of gigantic dogs, thirty-foot giants, and other towering nightmare threats to life and liberty.
 
The Murder Monsters is read by Michael C. Gwynne. This exciting audiobook also includes the true stories, Allan Barnes' “Stand and Deliver!” and “The Jungle,” by Winthie Leach.

The Pecos Kid Western #4 eBook
Battle Birds #43 December 1941
Beginning in 1932, Battle Birds brought readers a thrilling main story, referred to as a “novel”, that featured a rotating cast of main characters like The Three Mosquitoes and Smoke Wade. After nineteen issues, just over a year and a half after its debut, the magazine began to feature the air adventures of Dusty Ayres, and the magazine became officially titled Dusty Ayres and his Battle Birds. This lasted until the summer of 1935 when the magazine folded after thirty-one issues. But Battle Birds wasn't finished; it would return. In early 1940, Battle Birds reappeared on the newsstands. But now the focus of the stories was on the conflict that would soon be known as World War II. This resurrected Battle Birds lasted for 26 issues until May 1944. And now Battle Birds is back, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format. $2.99.
 
Dime Mystery Book Magazine eBook
Sports thrills, ripped from the burning pages of one of the all-time great sports magazines of the 1930s, Sports Novels! Magazines containing sports fiction were one of the staples of the pulp magazines, becoming popular in the early 1920s and by the mid-1930s there were over two dozen titles on the newsstands. In early 1937, Popular Publications decided to enter the lucrative field of the sports fiction magazines. The April-May 1937 issue of Sports Novels hit the newsstands in late March, featuring an eye-catching baseball cover. For the next fifteen years, each issue featured stories of football, boxing, baseball, hockey, track, basketball, tennis and hockey. Nearly every sport imaginable was represented in the long-running magazine. It continued publishing for a total of eighty-five issues until the April 1952 issue, when pulp magazines were in their waning days. Vintage Sports Novels are now being reissued for today’s readers in electronic format. $2.99.

Horror Stories! The dark companion to Dime Mystery Magazine. Created to showcase stories too horrible for Terror Tales. The third of the triumvirate of fear pulps.

This is an authentic replica of an original pulp magazine, just as it appeared on the newsstands of America during what is now considered the Golden Age of Pulp Fiction - roughly 1900 through 1950. Unlike our other line of pulp reprints, which offer original covers and illustrations but with reformatted text, this edition - one of an ongoing series - is designed to give the reader an authentic taste of what a typical pulp magazine was like when it was first issued - but without the frailty or expense of trying to find a decades-old collectable to enjoy. The outer covers, the interior pages, and the advertisements are reprinted just as they appeared in the original magazine, left intact to give the reader the true feel of the original as well as an appreciation for the way in which these publications were first offered to their avid readers.Pulp fiction magazines got their nickname because they were printed on cheap pulpwood paper that was high in acid content. Pulps were, in fact, assumed to be disposable - bought for a dime or a quarter, read, enjoyed, and then thrown away in time for the next issue to be released. The paper, like the pulps themselves, was never meant to be durable or last for very long, which is part of the reason why the originals are so hard to find today.
While most pre-1940 pulp covers hung over the interior pages and were left untrimmed, this replica has been trimmed for easier storage and handling. To further enhance the "pulp experience", this edition is printed on off-white bond paper intended to simulate the original look while, at the same time, assuring that this edition will last far longer than the original upon which it is based. The overall construction and appearance of this reprint is designed to be as faithful to the original magazine as is reasonably possible, given the unavoidable changes in production methods and materials. Pulp Replica Book $35.00

Richard McLeod writes:
Great Scenes from Great Plays is truly one of the great Radio Shows. The Episode with Ingrid Bergman from “A Doll's House”; needs no visuals, as the Program is easily imagined in one's mind which is one of the unique characteristics of listening to Plays on the Radio from this Golden Age of Radio beautifully restored by Radio Archives. You indeed do a great job!
 
Andy Wood writes:
The radio shows I get from you go to work and everywhere with me. They keep me sane. You really do have some fascinating stuff and the quality is always truly marvelous. 1930s shows from the early era have always fascinated me, and you make them even more incredible by providing them in such quality and often in complete series form! Things like Strange Adventures, Komedy Kingdom, The Family Doctor, Jerry At Fair Oaks and The Origin Of Superstition are all second to none and I'm currently LOVING the Cocoanut Grove shows (particularly the Gus Arnheim ones) which are beautiful in every respect! Thanks again, so much!
