Episode 251 - Powell, P.I. (Rogue's Gallery & Richard Diamond)

Need a case closed and a tune carried? Dick Powell is your man. The crooner reinvented his career when he played Philip Marlowe on screen, and he starred in a pair of radio detective shows as glib but tough private investigators. In honor of Powell's birthday, we'll hear two of his mysteries: as Richard Rogue, he solves "The Impossible Murder" from Rogue's Galley (originally aired on Mutual on May 16, 1946). Then, as Richard Diamond, Private Detective , Powell tackles "The Big Foot Grafton Case" (originally aired on NBC on August 30, 1950).
