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":"THE KID ON THE CORNER and THE LITTLE WISHBONE   THE ADVENTURES OF PHILIP MARLOWE","slug":"the-kid-on-the-corner-and-the-little-wishbone-the-adventures-of-philip-marlowe","published_at":"2026-07-10T20:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/1001-radio-crime-solvers-5874010/the-kid-on-the-corner-and-the-little-wishbone-the-adventures-of-philip-marlowe","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/ADL7056130187.mp3","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/6d90722a-143f-45eb-83cc-2b5ba24978df/ADL7056130187.mp3?dest-id=4552092","summary":"The Adventures of Philip Marlowe was a radio series featuring Raymond Chandler's private eye, Philip Marlowe.
