This time around we feature two shows whose titles have to be among the longest in old time radio.
We’ll start the show with an episode of Mr. Keen, Tracer Of Lost Persons. “The Case Of The Moonless Night” first aired January 6, 1944.
Then, after Ripley’s, it’s an April 1953 episode of I Was A Communist For The FBI. We’ll hear “I Walk Alone”.
