Episode 192 – Shayne On You (Michael Shayne, Private Detective)

Private detective Michael Shayne came to radio on October 16, 1944 and we're celebrating the anniversary of "the reckless, red-headed Irishman" with two of his radio mysteries. Two of radio's most talented stars – Wally Maher and Cathy Lewis – headline as Shayne and his loyal secretary Phyllis Knight. From 1944 until 1947, the pair starred in stories that blended crime-solving with witty banter. We'll hear "The Murder Trial of Jack Holmes" (originally aired on Mutual on May 21, 1945) and "Dr. Grant's Dilemma" (from August 13, 1945).
