b'A look at a sort of a six degrees of separation around Dashiell\\nHammett\\xc3\\xc2\\xc3\\xc2\\xc2\\xc3\\xc2\\xc2s Sam Spade and various radio programs which seemed directly or\\nindirectly influenced by the hardboiled detective. By early 1949, Gil\\nDoud and Bob Tallman left the Adventures of Sam Spade. Doud became the writer for a new radio detective series \\xc3\\xc2\\xc3\\xc2\\xc2\\xc3\\xc2\\xc2 Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar\\nstarring Charles Russell. Doud created some radio scripts that bore\\ndistinct Sam Spade themes in the creation of his new radio detective\\ncharacter. Portions of the characterizations in this podcast radio play\\nwere almost a steal from Hammett\\xc3\\xc2\\xc3\\xc2\\xc2\\xc3\\xc2\\xc2s Maltese Falcon.'
