The Fat Man - The Fat Man is a classic 1949 detective story drama. The character of The Fat Man was created by Dashiell Hammett, famous mystery novelist of that time. In this story our hero is bound to solve the murder of a Seance Medium, and a clever grifting scam. Very entertaining, very campy!!
Click here to listen to the radio show.

Dimension X - A Logic Named Joe - A Logic Named Joe was the 13th episode of NBC’s sci-fi anthology series Dimension X, based on a short story that originally appeared in the March 1946 issue of Astounding Science Fiction. A lighthearted tale of intelligent machines gone amok in the wrong hands, A Logic Named Joe is as relevant now as it was when it first aired in July 1950.
