Old Time Radio Lady Sleuths

Adam Graham

This feed celebrates old time radio mysteries that feature female detective heroines.

The majority of episodes in this feed are dedicated to hard boiled private eye Candy Matson, Defense Attorney Martha Ellis Bryant, and Justice Department Investigator Irene Delroy in the Airmail Mystery. However, there are a variety of specials from programs like Murder Clinic and Suspense, as well as a few lesser-known series.

Host Adam Graham is your guide to these remarkable women sleuths.
