Anyone else enjoy this great police drama from the 50's, starring Larry Thor as Danny Clover? Personally, I find it to be one of the most entertaining and well written of the all the crime drama OTR shows. Some of the "asides" spoken by Thor throughout the episodes flow almost like poetry (so well written!). The music in the beginning/end of the show is also fantastic and always seems to set the mood so well. So how bout it, any other fans out there?

I downloaded over 150 episodes from archive.org a while back. I agree with you on the music and narration too. No problem visualizing what the scenes look like when Clover is talking to the listener. :D

Hey Bob,
I also downloaded my "Broadway" collection from archive.org! The Old Time Radio Researchers group did a great job with compiling all known existing episodes, cleaning up the sound, and putting them in one convenient location to download and/or stream. Definitely a classic show for sure and I also forgot to mention that I love the banter between Danny Clover and his desk sergeant Gino Tattaglia....classic stuff!
