Pat Novak for Hire starring Jack Webb, originally broadcast June 18, 1949, 74 years ago, Only Way to Make Friends Die. Joe Dineen dies in Novak's apartment. What's in his safe deposit box? You don't want to know!

I'm done fighting with my doctors. A variety of health issues have led me to a decision that I hoped I wouldn't have to make for a couple of more years.

Classic Radio Theater will end June 30, 2023.

I want to thank everyone who made this show possible over the years. I know it's only about three weeks for stations to make alternate programming arrangements, but it's a choice that I had to make. I'm nearing 70 years of age, and the grind of producing these shows is just too much.

It has been my honor and pleasure to serve you these past eight years.
