To celebrate our 150th episode, we listen to a series that we have never featured before, Night Beat starring Frank Lovejoy! Randy Stone’s nightly search for stories leads him to a crowd of people awaiting a gunfight between the police and a cornered fugitive. Why does a particular couple in the crowd have such a strong interest in the fugitive’s fate? Can a person truly escape where they came from? After three years, have we now just been reduced to slapping each other? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!
