Re-Imagined Radio | 8/19/24 | Dragnet

Re-Imagined Radio celebrates Dragnet, the real-life police procedural, and Jack Webb, as Detective Sgt. Joe Friday, who defined and was defined by this radio series. We sample from "One Out of Seven," "The Jack Webb Show," "Pat Novak, For Hire," "Johnny Madero, Pier 23," and "Jeff Regan, Investigator," all pre-Dragnet radio shows where Webb honed his character and acting style. We end with "The City Hall Bombing," an early episode of Dragnet to showcase Webb as a great radio storyteller.
