Radio Shows
featuring Private Eyes
(Includes Podcasts)
Actually, that heading is a bit of a misnomer. The shows listed
below are a combination of old-time radio, new-time radio, audio
tapes and really new-time web broadcasts.
But they're all audio dramas of some sort centered on a private
eye or two. If you're not sure what a private eye is, check out
What the hell is a private eye,
anyway?

a show qualifies, check out What
is a Private Eye, anyway?

- Crime Club (anthology)
- Dan Holiday
- Deadline Mystery
- Defense Attorney
- Eno Crime Club
- The Five Mysteries Program
