Hello and welcome to another episode of Nostalgid 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, Broadway is My Beat, episode titled The Joan Gale Murder Case,

originally aired January 21st, 1950, where Joan Gale is found dead in the flower shop with the burglar alarm still ringing.

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

Thank you for listening.

Broadway's my beat from Times Circle, the Goddius, the most violent,

the lonesomest mile in the world.

The world.

Broadway's My Beat, with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover. Broadway, it's a bet you make against the dealers at night on the blood red of neon, on the black of the searching wind,

and the circle spins a whirlpool of gleaming laughter and splintered whispers of shrieking steel on the silence of stone.

You pray for a wind, but it's no good.

The red pays off in stained hands and the black with dust in your mouth.

That's how it falls on Broadway.

My beat.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, Broadway is still.

The spectacular drows and the neons yawn.

The sounds of the city whisper into the darkness.

And last night's headlines fight a losing battle with the wind.

Then... It's a burglar alarm from the flower shop, and it's tearing its part of.

Okay. The cold, winking light of the florist sign found her face, then lost it in the shadows, then found it again.
