Episode 431 – Three Jacks (Pat Novak, Jeff Regan, & Pete Kelly’s Blues)

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">He's best known for <em>Dragnet</em> and Joe Friday, but there was a lot more to Jack Webb's radio career than the groundbreaking police procedural. We'll hear him in three old time radio mysteries as a trio of down on their luck detectives. First, he's <em>Pat Novak for Hire</em> in "Dixie Gillian" (originally aired on ABC on November 24, 1946). Then, Webb stars in "The Man Who Liked the Mountains" from <em>Jeff Regan, Investigator</em> (originally aired on CBS on August 7, 1948). Finally, it's a tale of jazz and crime in "Gus Trudeau" from <em>Pete Kelly's Blues </em>(originally aired on NBC on July 4, 1951).</span></p>
