1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 On this program we have one of my favorite detective dramas. Pat Novak for Hire&amp;nbsp;will take the stage and hopefully entertain you and thrill you. Also, on the program I will announce the first ever Ron’s Amazing Stories contest. The topic for the tweets is #ImHappyBecause. What can I say about Pat Novak for Hire that I have not said in past shows? It is one of the strangest, well-acted and best written programs of the golden age of radio. It is a classic detective drama starring Jack Webb&amp;nbsp;as Pat Novak, a street wise guy who rents boats and anything else a good man pays a bad one to do. Novak is always getting into scrapes when taking on jobs for hire or occasionally as a favor to a friend. When he does, he goes to see &quot;The Only Honest Guy I Know&quot; an ex-Doctor and a boozer named Jocko Madigan (played by Tudor Owens). Novak's nemesis is Lieutenant Hellman of Homicide (often played by Raymond Burr). The show has a repeating plotline, but it is a work of art, with fantastic poetry. Pat Novak for Hire is memorable from start to finish. Our story is called, Agnes Bolton and it first aired on June 5, 1949.&amp;nbsp; Ron's Amazing Stories http://ronsamazingstories.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/3008483/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/000000/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/7499369
