Radio sleuthing didn\\u2019t get much sweeter\\xa0than when Bob Bailey voiced Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Bailey starred as Dollar for five years, but he was never better than 1955 to 1956 when the series aired as a nightly fifteen-minute serial. In those five-part stories, Bailey gave listeners a detective who was tough, determined, funny, and who wore his heart on his sleeve. Combined with sharp direction and writing, this run of\\xa0Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar stands apart from other radio dramas. We\\u2019ll hear Bob Bailey in the complete five-part story\\xa0\\u201cThe Lansing Fraud Matter,\\u201d originally aired on CBS between December 12 and 16, 1955.
