We recently polled our mysterious listeners to recommend a show that we have not listened to yet. The winner was Broadway is My Beat! Detective Danny Clover is called down to the morgue to examine a body that has evidently been killed twice. The ensuing investigation presents Danny with a wide array of eccentric suspects. Will he be able to discern the truth amid all these peculiar conversations? Is this story a classic hard-boiled mystery or an over-the-top oddity? WHY WON’T THAT GUY SPEAK UP? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

It was a perfectly OK way to spend a half-hour, but it doesn’t inspire me to hunt down other episodes of the series. As cop shows… Read more »
I wonder if listeners hearing this originally were as amused by the “characters” in this story as I was? The Runyonesque cop was my clear favorite. Alexander Courage was a surprise, although I knew that he worked some radio programs before moving to TV. Fun fact: he did not “sing” the Star Trek theme, but he did perform the whooshing sounds you hear during the opening credits.
