Hello and welcome to another episode of nostalgic mystery radio.

I'm your host Stevie K. And it's my

honor to bring you the radio shows of yesteryear. For this episode, I bring you the Adventures of Philip

Marlowe. Episode titled The Grim Hunters, originally aired March 12th, 1949, where Marlowe is lured to a party as a human item in a scavenger hunt.

Things take a serious turn when he finds the woman who called him murdered.

So sit back and relax, and I hope you enjoy this nostalgic mystery radio.
