Old-time Radio Essentials continues its 3rd season with an episode of Broadway is My Beat – “The Lars Nielson Murder Case”! This one’s Paul’s pick, and there’s lots of police procedural-goodness in the selection, followed by fast-paced discussion of its merits by the three co-hosts. Will our upstairs neighbor call the cops on us for talking too loud? Tune in and find out!

And since we’re on the subject of finding things out, while you listen you’ll learn if we feel this entry meets the following criteria:

1. Is it truly representative of that series? (Can anyone point to it and say, “Yes, that is what [NAME OF SERIES] was all about.”)

2. Is it an episode worthy of inclusion in any and every OTR aficionado’s private collection?

So with this in mind, we three bring you, as our thirty-fourth number (but 9th official episode of S3), this episode of Broadway is My Beat, from 9/29/51. We’ll introduce the show, play it in its entirety, then discuss it at length. Thanks for joining us, and we hope you enjoy it!
