This was a time when TV was still in its infancy and radio was in its creative heyday- using top writers and top talent to capture huge audiences, and shows featuring hard boiled detectives like Sam Spade, Richard Diamond, Philip Marlowe, and Johnny Dollar competed for prime time with mental sleuths like Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown, and Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. And here you'll find standouts -like Dragnet's Joe Friday, Vincent Price's 'The Saint', and Michael Waring's free-lance troubleshooting investigator 'The Falcon'- to name a few. We release new episodes every Sunday at 5pm ET. We're a proud part of 1001 Stories Network. www.1001storiespodcast.com.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-03T08:29:05.147245+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/1001-radio-crime-solvers-5874010"},"episode":{"title":"DISAPPEARING DOLL and QUARRELSOME BANDIT","slug":"disappearing-doll-and-quarrelsome-bandit","published_at":"2026-06-21T16:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/1001-radio-crime-solvers-5874010/disappearing-doll-and-quarrelsome-bandit","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/1001-radio-crime-solvers-5874010","url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/6d90722a-143f-45eb-83cc-2b5ba24978df/ADL7144174655.mp3","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/6d90722a-143f-45eb-83cc-2b5ba24978df/ADL7144174655.mp3?dest-id=4552092","summary":"🎙️ SHOW NOTES — The Falcon 1001 Radio Crime Solvers Starring the suave, sharp‑witted investigator known simply as The Falcon This week's double‑feature brings two classic mysteries filled with misdirection, danger, and the Falcon's trademark cool under pressure. 🧸 Episode 1: \"The Disappearing Doll\" A wealthy socialite's priceless antique doll vanishes under mysterious circumstances — but what begins as a simple theft quickly spirals into something far darker. When the Falcon steps in, he finds himself navigating a world of collectors, con artists, and hidden motives, where everyone seems to know more than they're willing to say. As he digs deeper, the Falcon uncovers a trail that leads from a child's toy to a deadly adult secret — and someone is willing to kill to keep it buried. A tight, atmospheric mystery with a twist that lands right where you least expect it. 🤠 Episode 2: \"The Quarrelsome Bandit\" A string of robberies has the city on edge, and all signs point to a lone outlaw whose temper is as dangerous as his gun. But when the Falcon begins to investigate, he discovers that the so‑called \"quarrelsome bandit\" may not be acting alone — and the real mastermind could be hiding in plain sight. The case takes the Falcon through back‑alley hideouts, smoky bars, and a web of double‑crosses where every suspect has something to gain. A classic Falcon tale of sharp dialogue, shifting loyalties, and a final reveal that snaps the whole case into focus. 🤠 ENJOYING THE SHOW? HELP US GROW!
