As originally conceived, Johnny Dollar was a smart, tough, wisecracking detective who tossed silver-dollar tips to waiters and bellhops. While a;ways a friend of the police, Johnny Dollar wasn;t always a stickler for the law. CBS Radio revived Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar in October 1955 with a new leading man, a new director, and a new format. The program changed from a 30-minute, one-episode-per-week program to a 15-minute, five-nights-a-week serial[2] (Monday through Friday, 8-8:15pm EST) produced and directed by radio veteran Jack Johnstone. The new Johnny Dollar was Bob Bailey, who had just come off another network detective series, Let George Do It.. With a new lead and 75 minutes of air time each week, it became possible to develop each storyline with more detail and with more characters. Almost all of the Johnny Dollar serials were presented by CBS Radio on a sustaining basis (unsponsored, with no commercials); only two of the 55 serials take time out for a sponsor's message. Over 800 episodes still survive.

We had it all...just like Bogie & Bacall" is how the famous song goes, and they had it all for awhile- a Hollywood married couple that appeared in films and in their radio show- Bold Venture. Bold Venture was a syndicated radio series that aired from 1951 to 1952. Bogart plays Slate Shannon, owner of a Cuban Hotel before Castro came and took it all away, and Lauren Bacall goes by the name of Sailor Duvall.Just like in real life, they own a sailboat and spend a bunch of time in it while they encounter every type of low life imaginable and manage to solve crimes in the process. Its escapist fun and pretty well written. Enjoy-

Today's two episodes: Murder in the Yucatan AND Shannon's a Sucker
