Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Mr. Keen Tracer Of Lost Persons "The Case Of The Man Who Invented Death" (10-06-49)

The Case Of The Man Who Invented Death (Aired October 6, 1949)


Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons was one of network radio's longest running detectives, although listening to it now would hardly explain why. This kind, elderly, boring sleuth, in company with his bumbling assistant, Mike Clancy, was on the airwaves from 1937 to 1955, logging nearly 20 years of fighting crime. The series came out of the soap opera fiction factory of Frank and Anne Hummert and encompassed most of the trite dialogue and snail plotting of daytime serials.
