This week on Ron’s Amazing Stories we continue our journey into the shadowy world of hard-boiled detectives. Last week we walked the mean streets with Philip Marlowe. This week, it’s Part 2 — and we’re talking about his rival in grit and wit, Sam Spade.

We’ll compare Marlowe and Spade, and look at the men behind them — authors Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. You’ll also hear about Howard Duff, who brought Sam Spade to life on the radio. Then it’s time for not one but two episodes from The Adventures of Sam Spade. First up, The Death and Company Caper (August 9, 1946). Then, The Wheel of Life Caper (July 11, 1948).

What You Will Hear:

  • How Chandler’s Philip Marlowe and Hammett’s Sam Spade stack up.
  • The backstory of their creators: Hammett the ex-Pinkerton, Chandler the literary craftsman.
  • The wit and voice of Howard Duff as Sam Spade.
  • The Death and Company Caper (1946).
  • The Wheel of Life Caper (1948).
  • A few laughs and wisecracks along the way.

Two detectives. Two styles. One unforgettable showdown.
