There is this radio show that ran from 1949 to 1962 called Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. It is about a "freelance insurance investigator" who is dispatched by a variety of insurance companies to investigate property crime. But then like 98% of the time someone gets murdered while he's there and he for some reason has to solve THAT, too.

It's fascinating. He's a hard-boiled detective, but he only shows up because someone insured a bracelet for thousands of dollars and then "lost it." Then while he's there he exposes a torrid affair, and a guy gets run over by a sportscar. Each one of these is a half-hour long, and it's just rapid-fire shenanigans the whole time. Johnny doesn't even "solve" the case half the time, he just watches people die, and then someone randomly explains the secret scheme to him after he yells at them enough. Then he charges the insurance company the modern equivalent of $800 for the week he spent screwing around the Salton Sea.

The weird title is because the format is that he is filing a written expense report in the form of a letter with the insurance company who hired him, so he has to list his expenses and explain why he needed whatever. I mean it just cuts to the thing happening in the show, but you first get him listing the prices of stuff from across the country from the 1950s, and if you're me then that alone is fascinating.

He also "stops off for a couple of drinks" at least once or twice per episode, I think he has a gun, and he just goes into people's houses and through their stuff. This guy is an alcoholic trespasser at best, and constantly interfering with serious police investigations at worst. But for like 10+ seasons of 800-odd episodes, this was CBS Radio's hottest thing. Even after there was TV, people still listened to this show, which is literally just four to six men, and maybe a "fine little number, set-up in all the right places" (a woman), yelling at each-other in a room in racist accents while someone else does sound effects, live. What a media landscape this was.

There is one episode where he figures out a fire was arson by getting a cop to dip fresh bread in the ashes, chew it, and tell him what it tastes like. Because "fresh bread absorbs kerosene."

...What the hell is that?? Who would think to even try that? Is that...a real thing? You put this in a show you know damn well children are listening to...? Why? How many small children died from eating bread dipped in poisonous filth because of this stupid episode? And no one cared! The 50s was just like, "Put the kerosene bread thing in. That might be true. Whatever."

Amazing.

This episode also features a town filled with horny elderly racial stereotypes. And one of them is a Yiddish man who fled the Holocaust, but they think he is a secret Nazi who does arson.

No I'm not exaggerating. How could I make that up? Only the 1950s could come up with something like that.

They need to reboot this. Make him a Black lesbian with an opioid addiction. It will be set now but she will have an inexplicable advanced AI companion in an earpiece who is in love with her and can use math to predict events exactly 3 minutes into the future. It will get one season of 12 episodes and everyone will be confused and hate it.

Amazon, I'm looking at you.
