Show Notes

Significance
With Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, especially 1955 to 1956 when Bailey voiced the leading character, CBS resisted the encroachment of television and kept radio drama flourishing a few more years. Today, the series, and especially Bailey's portrayal, are considered one of the best detective series heard on radio.
