A SALUTE TO THE LAW Ryan Ellett

More about it

Nick Harris was a Los Angeles private eye who began sharing detective exploits both through live lectures and serialized newspaper recounting before stepping before the microphone in 1923 over KFI. Astonishingly, Harris’ weekly program (heard twice weekly in the late 1930s) ran for nearly 20 years until 1942. While unknown to modern old-time radio afficionados, Harris is an unquestionable pioneer of radio drama. This is the Single Episodes Page. The Maintained Set includes extras not found here.

More Mystery & crime

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
