Danny does not have to prosecute these cases, 533 00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:43,519 and I couldn't think of a time where a policeman 534 00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:46,440 would be more than happy just to hand this off 535 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:53,160 to the district attorney, because boy, this would be a challenge. Now, 536 00:31:53,440 --> 00:32:00,759 the prosecutor wouldn't necessarily have to prove one fatal bullet 537 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,920 if they could really get the jury to conclude that 538 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,200 the man was alive when he received both shots and 539 00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:14,640 both contributed to the killing. On the other hand, if 540 00:32:14,839 --> 00:32:19,279 he was dead when one of the shots was received 541 00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:25,000 and they couldn't prove quite which one was the kill shot, 542 00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:31,000 this would be a very difficult case. Sometimes, the narration 543 00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:35,400 you got to think about it. No, wait, what like 544 00:32:35,599 --> 00:32:42,640 when Danny was saying, so you buy kid because Broadway 545 00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:46,640 doesn't give you any other choice, Well, you could technically 546 00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:50,880 not buy I mean that is a choice. All right. Well, 547 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:56,960 listener comments and feedback now, and we start with this 548 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,720 from Peter who rites did Morton fine and datevid free 549 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,519 can write for any other old time radio program, loads 550 00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:12,799 of different programs Radio gooldindex dot com, which is probably 551 00:33:13,119 --> 00:33:20,839 the most complete listing of radio credits based on programs 552 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,759 listened to, has more than three hundred episodes listed, and 553 00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:29,519 I don't think that even includes every episode of Broadways 554 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,920 My Beat because they don't all include writer credits. But 555 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,079 they wrote together on a lot of programs. There are 556 00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:43,200 plenty of crime shows, like the lineup wrote for Bold Venture, 557 00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:49,079 They wrote the pilot episode for Gunsmoke, which was quite 558 00:33:49,079 --> 00:33:52,160 a bit different than what listeners would get in nineteen 559 00:33:52,359 --> 00:34:01,960 fifty three, they wrote for Escape and Suspent, and even 560 00:34:02,119 --> 00:34:06,640 outside of the crime genre, they did the Hallmark Playhouse 561 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:11,760 several episodes of that, as well as Elliott Lewis's dramatic 562 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,679 anthology program on Stage. And they would even work together 563 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:22,840 on television, although they had careers that kind of diverged 564 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,679 and each did some of their own things, but there 565 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,559 were some TV scripts they wrote together. One that stands 566 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:39,239 out is they wrote several episodes of I Spy and 567 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:44,159 the second one they wrote together called A Cup of Kindness, 568 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,679 and it was one of David Freakin's only three acting credits. 569 00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:53,519 So they worked together, and of course their most famous 570 00:34:53,559 --> 00:34:58,679 production is three four Adventure. The story of Roundhouse, Rosie 571 00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:02,679 and the Siamese app which is a joke for those 572 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,760 few listeners who actually remember that amazing World of Radio 573 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,519 episode we did back in twenty twenty. Then we have 574 00:35:10,599 --> 00:35:17,519 a comment over on YouTube where Dwayne Rights. Not Beat, 575 00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:22,679 starring Frank love Joy, is a radio show similar to this. 576 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,079 Although both of these shows are the same genre, I 577 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:31,280 lot Not Beat better, mainly due to Frank Lovejoy's narration style. 578 00:35:31,639 --> 00:35:35,360 There is a certain nexus in terms of I think 579 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,159 some of the poetic language used, and one thing I 580 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:44,599 resolved was that I should not play Not Beat and 581 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,159 Broadways My Beat at the same time, as they could 582 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,400 be a little bit heavy in the same lineup, because 583 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,079 there could be some really dark and sad things that 584 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,760 happens and Not Beat. Although I do think there are 585 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,639 some major differences in the stories. As a rule, I 586 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,440 tend to think that not Beat goes a bit deeper 587 00:36:12,159 --> 00:36:18,320 into the full emotional portrait of these characters, which often 588 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:23,320 means that when you have something sad or tragic happens, 589 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,840 it really hits harder than in Broadways My Beat. But 590 00:36:29,199 --> 00:36:35,840 Not Beat also has its hero when a lot It's justice, 591 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:41,159 he brings about a positive change for the people he 592 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,320 meets on the street, which I think contrasts quite a 593 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,840 bit with Danny, who I don't really feel like the 594 00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:53,599 world weariness ever eases up for him. It does kind 595 00:36:53,639 --> 00:36:57,760 of depend on what you're looking for in a radio 596 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:02,920 program as to which is better. Uh, Broadways, my Beat 597 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,559 gives you kind of a more predictable mix, and you're 598 00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:11,960 always gonna get a murder mystery except maybe a couple 599 00:37:12,039 --> 00:37:17,559 times at Christmas, and there's a real strong rhythm to it. 600 00:37:17,639 --> 00:37:20,760 With not Mate, there's more of a variety to the 601 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,880 plotlines that can be done and the ways that the 602 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,559 story come, which, in a way is a big difference 603 00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:34,679 between having a series with a policeman versus a reporter protagonist. 604 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,360 Though I do tend to agree with you, I tend 605 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,039 to enjoy not Beat a bit more. All Right, Well, 606 00:37:42,039 --> 00:37:45,800 now it's time to think our Patreon supporter of the day, 607 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,400 and I want to thank Eliza, Patreon supporter since July 608 00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:55,000 twenty twenty one, currently supporting the podcast at the Shawmus 609 00:37:55,079 --> 00:37:57,280 level of four dollars or more per month.

By that time, 617 00:38:23,559 --> 00:38:25,480 I was beginning to see the real side of the girl. 618 00:38:25,639 --> 00:38:28,280 No character, sergeant, no character at all. It shows up 619 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:28,800 every time. 620 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,159 Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am, what if you'd go on please? 621 00:38:31,519 --> 00:38:34,039 Speaker 16: Well, as I was saying, it was after about six 622 00:38:34,119 --> 00:38:36,519 months when this man brought Doris home late one night, 623 00:38:36,599 --> 00:38:40,039 about a quarter till midnight, I'd say, upset the whole house? 624 00:38:40,159 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 2: How was that man? 625 00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 16: The two of them, this man and Doris, they stood 626 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,960 right out there in the hall, had a terrible quarrel. Language. 627 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,280 It was dreadful the top of their lungs too. My 628 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,199 husband went out to quiet them down, but the man 629 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,199 left before he had a chance to call him down. 630 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,599 Upset the whole house. 631 00:38:57,079 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 11: Now, this man, the Fraser woman was arguing with you 632 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:00,599 sure that would her husband? 633 00:39:00,679 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 16: Well, as sure as I can be. That's what Doris 634 00:39:03,079 --> 00:39:05,800 told me. Anyway, the day after I called her in 635 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,119 and told her I just couldn't tolerate behavior like that. 636 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,039 It upset her quite a bit. I remember she cried 637 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,760 so it wouldn't happen again. That's when she told me 638 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:14,960 she was trying to get a divorce. 639 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,639 Speaker 2: Is that what the big argument was about? 640 00:39:16,679 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 5: Would you know that? 641 00:39:17,639 --> 00:39:20,079 Speaker 16: Yes, she said she wanted a divorce. Her husband didn't. 642 00:39:20,119 --> 00:39:23,000 He wanted her back with him. Certainly, is sad the 643 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,320 way some people mix up their. 644 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,840 Speaker 2: Lives, yes, ma'am. By any chance that you get a 645 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,880 good look at this man husband nummy. 646 00:39:29,079 --> 00:39:31,159 Speaker 16: Well, he was tall and had dark hair. That's about 647 00:39:31,159 --> 00:39:33,440 all I remember. He was well dressed too. 648 00:39:33,599 --> 00:39:37,079 Speaker 2: I see when Doris Fraser left here, Misses Watton, did 649 00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:38,840 she leave her forward and addressed with you? 650 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:39,599 Speaker 5: No, she didn't. 651 00:39:39,679 --> 00:39:41,159 Speaker 16: I haven't any idea where she moved. 652 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 5: What kind of work was she doing while she was 653 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:43,440 living here? 654 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,079 Speaker 8: Do you have any idea where she was employed? 655 00:39:45,199 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 16: Yes, that was one of the references she gave me. 656 00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:50,760 Furniture company down on Venice Boulevard. If I remember correctly, 657 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,400 I have the address my record book. Certainly is unfortunate 658 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,039 the whole thing, yes, ma'am. 659 00:39:56,039 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 2: It is. 660 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 16: Even tried to talk to her before she left, sat 661 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,360 her down and talked for a whole afternoon. I guess 662 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,440 it was just a waste of time. What's that man 663 00:40:04,679 --> 00:40:08,000 in trouble with her husband? Terrible thing. He seemed to 664 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,679 treat her so badly to have been fighting all the time. 665 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,400 I believe she was actually afraid of him. She told 666 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,760 me it was very jealous. He drank ran around. That's 667 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:17,920 why I couldn't understand it. 668 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 5: You couldn't understand what, ma'am Doris. 669 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,519 Speaker 16: When she moved away from here, Yes, ma'am, she said 670 00:40:23,559 --> 00:40:24,920 she was going back with her husband. 671 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,679 Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime. 672 00:40:28,119 --> 00:40:33,440 Send your comments to Box thirteen at Greatdetectives dot net, 673 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,079 follow us on Twitter at Radio Detectives, and check us 674 00:40:38,079 --> 00:40:45,519 out on Instagram, Instagram, dot com, slash Great Detectives from Boise, Idaho. 675 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,880 This is your host, Adam Graham.
