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":"TRUE CRIME   THE BIG HANDS and THE BIG AFFAIR   DRAGNET","slug":"true-crime-the-big-hands-and-the-big-affair-dragnet","published_at":"2026-08-16T19:24:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/1001-radio-crime-solvers-5874010/true-crime-the-big-hands-and-the-big-affair-dragnet","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/1001-radio-crime-solvers-5874010","url":"https://6d90722a-143f-45eb-83cc-2b5ba24978df.libsyn.com/true-crime-the-big-hands-and-the-big-affair-dragnet","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/6d90722a-143f-45eb-83cc-2b5ba24978df/THE_BIG_HANDS_and_THE_BIG_AFFAIR_REV_1.mp3?dest-id=4552092","summary":"1001 RADIO CRIME SOLVERS Show Notes – Dragnet: \"The Big Hands\" & \"The Big Affair\" ANNOUNCEMENT: 1001 TRUE CRIME FROM ANOTHER TIME has begun a brand‑new run of historic true‑crime episodes.
