Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Gangbusters "The Case Of The Quincy Killers" (4-24-48)

The Case Of The Quincy Killers (Aired April 24, 1948)


The show began on NBC as The G-Men and was sponsored by Chevrolet. The concept of a national program that brought authentic police case histories to millions of radio listeners, was the concept of a veteran in the business, Phillips H. Lord. His idea of a cross between the newspapers and the movies was an immediate hit with his peers. With J. Edgar Hoover’s approval, Lord wrote his first episode right in the Justice Department Building in Washington. Changing to "Gangbusters" the show came on strong right from the start and was a radio sensation. The pace was fast, the action was real and sometimes violent, the crimes and criminals were acted doing what was written about in the papers.
