The final look at Rex Stout’s Archie Goodwin as he appeared on radio. This week a look at the final Archie – Harry Bartell (right). Also a little discussion on the detective character as perceived by Stout and a brief clip of a Canadian run of the series.

I recently discovered your site and think it is FANTASTIC! Unfortunately I was not around during the Golden Age of Radio but truly think it is a lost artform. Your podcast is the greatest and nice work on your two recent episodes on the pulp characters of Black Mask. I’m also a fan of the pulps. I especially enjoyed your use of “On Green Dolphin Street” by Oscar Peterson and Milt Jackson during your segment. Another favorite of mine.
Thanks, Bob. Appreciate the comments. Glad you liked the music underneath. I have been an Oscar Peterson fan for a long time.
