Episode notes
The Bad Boys of Radio brings together 14 carefully selected Old Time Radio stories featuring some truly rotten men — schemers, con artists, killers, blackmailers, crooked professionals, and men convinced they’ve planned the perfect crime.
For this collection, I searched beyond the usual classics and included several lesser-known episodes and more obscure radio series along with a few favorites that were simply too good to leave out. Expect murder, greed, betrayal, elaborate schemes, terrible decisions, and plenty of twists as these bad boys discover that getting away with murder isn’t always as easy as they thought.
