Old-Time Radio Essentials is back with episode 40, the 3rd installment of Season 4, and our fourth Holiday Special! Pete, Paul and Patte present an episode of the long-running Mutual series Nick Carter, Master Detective. This time it’s Paul’s pick, called “Nick Carter’s Christmas Adventure”!  Will Pete dwell on technical details and miss the historical context? Will Patte compare this to something Canadian? 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 fortieth number (but 3rd official episode of S4), this episode of Nick Carter, Master Detective, from 12/25/43. 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!

Next Time: It’s Pete’s pick again, and he’ll bring an episode of The Henry Morgan Show!
