Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Your's Truly Johnny Dollar "The Todd Matter - Show One Of Two" (9-13-56)


THE TODD MATTER ( Originally presented in 5 episodes, contained here in 2 postings)


Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar was a radio drama about a freelance insurance investigator "with the action-packed expense account." The show aired on CBS Radio from February 11, 1949 to September 30, 1962. There were 811 episodes in the 12-year run, and over 720 still exist today. Each story started with a phone call from an insurance agent calling on Johnny to investigate an unusual claim. Each story required Johnny to travel to some distant locale, usually within the United States but sometimes abroad, where he was almost always threatened with personal danger in the course of his investigations.
