Got a problem? Here's your solution! It's Bob Bailey as troubleshooter-for-hire George Valentine. This man of many talents will take on just about any job...for a price. Frances Robinson co-stars as Brooksie, with Wally Maher as Lieutenant Riley. They stick by George's side as he deals with clients who run the gamut from ruthless to ridiculous: gangsters, cowgirls, painters, and beauties.

Join him for 10 action-packed, digitally remastered five-part serials.

When Howard Duff, radio’s regular Sam Spade, was dropped from the show, Steven Dunne donned the trench coat. Finding his own brash and boyish style with the role, Dunne’s Spade was much like creator Dashiell Hammett himself - a grown-up teenager who loved a put-on, but could be depended on to be loyal and true despite his own troubles. In these digitally remastered capers, Hammett’s hard-boiled hero delves in to the domains of daytime serials, journalism, the waterfront, and international intrigue.

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar debuted in 1948 and endured for 14 years as one of the most popular programs of latter day radio drama. In fact, it became the last network drama when it ultimately signed off the air in 1962. An eminently appealing character, Dollar was pragmatic, flirtatious, and sympathetic (to a point) - better at reserving judgment than he was at restraining his impulses. This set brings you the voices of all eight men who took on the role of "America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator" - from the well-known to the obscure.
