Show notes

A look at a sort of a six degrees of separation around Dashiell HammettÃÂÃÂÂÃÂÂs Sam Spade and various radio programs which seemed directly or indirectly influenced by the hardboiled detective. By early 1949, Gil Doud and Bob Tallman left the Adventures of Sam Spade. Doud became the writer for a new radio detective series ÃÂÃÂÂÃÂÂ Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar starring Charles Russell. Doud created some radio scripts that bore distinct Sam Spade themes in the creation of his new radio detective character. Portions of the characterizations in this podcast radio play were almost a steal from HammettÃÂÃÂÂÃÂÂs Maltese Falcon.
