Episode 590 - Snakes…Why’d It Have to Be Snakes? (Casey, Crime Photographer, Sherlock Holmes, Richard Diamond, & Philip Marlowe)

Down These Mean Streets (Old Time Radio Detectives)

Don't hiss - even if you don't like snakes, I think you'll enjoy these four serpent-centric radio mysteries. First, Casey, Crime Photographer investigates a curse that may have followed two explorers home in "The Serpent Goddess" (originally aired on CBS on December 4, 1947). Next, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson tangle with Professor Moriarty and a secret cult in "The Adventure of the Serpent God" (originally aired on Mutual on March 14, 1948). Dick Powell tries to protect his client from someone who's sending snakes in the mail in Richard Diamond, Private Detective in an episode known as "The Joyce Wallace Case" (originally aired on NBC on March 12, 1950). And Gerald Mohr stars as Philip Marlowe in a case involving snakes both real and decorative - "The Gold Cobra" (originally aired on CBS on June 21, 1950).
