Listen "Episode 164 - Webb Covers the Waterfront (Johnny Madero, Pier 23)"
Episode Synopsis
In between gigs as Pat Novak, For Hire, Jack Webb brought another waterfront private eye to radio with Johnny Madero, Pier 23. The shows were similar – a little too similar for the taste of ABC and their own Webb-free Novak series. But the tough hard-boiled atmosphere, the sharp writing, and the trademark Jack Webb underplayed performance make the short-lived Johnny Madero a worthy addition to the actor/producer’s radio repertoire. We’ll hear “Fatal Auction,” originally aired on Mutual on June 26, 1947.
