Radio broadcasting was the cheapest form of entertainment, and it provided the public with far better entertainment than most people were accustomed to. As a result, its popularity grew rapidly in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and by 1934, 60 percent of the nation's households had radios.

I Love a Mystery

I Love a Mystery

Broadcast History: 16 January 1939 to 26 December 1952
Theme Tune: Valse Triste, by Sibelius

I Love A Mystery weaves a spell over its fans. It is a tale of three partners, Jack Packard, Doc Long and Reggie Yorke who formed the A-1 detective agency. They are adventurers who travel the world in search of action, thrills and mystery, battling the evils of natural and supernatural and rescuing women in distress.

 

Carlton E. Morse wrote several radio series - the popular One Man's Family, featured the sprawling Barbour family of Sea Cliff, California; Adventures by Morse featuring a San Francisco detective, Captain Bart Friday and his sidekick, who roamed the world together seeking danger and solving mysteries, and I Love Adventure. 

But it's I Love A Mystery which is considered by many radio fans and collectors to be the greatest radio adventure serial of all time - newspapers even had adverts running which read
