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.

Can't Get Enough Of Johnny Dollar
Wonderful opportunity to experience the many voices who brought this iconic character to life. Great chance to reaffirm my conviction that Bob Bailey is the best Johnny Dollar, but also a great opportunity for me to experience Mandel Kramer's very capable performance in this role. Wish more of Kramer's radio shows were available.

I am an old time radio fan
I love these old time radio series, as I love a great mystery and these remind me of riding the back seat of my Dads car on the way home from grandma's house great memories.
