Publisher, Radio Spirits (April 2009)

While most of the radio detectives whose exploits aired during the Golden Age of Radio were men who brought the guilty to justice, detecting duos -- either married couples or private investigators with Gal Fridays -- were equally popular with the listening public.

Radio Again is pleased to present this anthology of shows selected from some of these series. Included in this collection are episodes of Mr. & Mrs. North starring Alice Frost, Joseph Curtin, Barbara Britton, and Richard Denning; Adventures of the Abbotts starring Claudia Morgan and Les Damon; Results Incorporated starring Claire Trevor and Lloyd Nolan, and Let George Do It starring Bob Bailey and Frances Robinson.

Joining these performers are supporting actors Bea Benederet, Gloria Blondell, Ann Corio, Kenny Delmar, Mandel Kramer, Wally Maher, Jay Novello, Everett Sloane, Luis Van Rooten, and many more, including rare radio performances by Claire Luce and baseball great Jackie Robinson.

Also included is a Program Guide by radio historian Jack French, author of the Agatha Award-winning book, Private Eyelashes: Radio's Lady Detectives with photographs and background information about the shows.
