In the 35 episodes of the series he solves mysteries with the help of his girlfriend, and cab dispatcher, Krista Papadopoulos. Midnight Cab ran from 1992-96. This is the first episode in the series, written by James W. Nichol. | |

Pulp Radio – Diamonds of Death
The second in the Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective series of stories by Robert Leslie Bellem, published in Spicy Detective Stories in July of 1934. There were dozens of Turner tales over the next 15 years, all full of dainty damsels and hasty haymakers on the dimpled chin of one of the hardest of the hard-boiled. This story was produced by Michael Packer at WGBU public radio in Grand Rapids, MI, as part of his Pulp Radio series. After the days of radio drama in the U.S. ended, Robert L. Bellem went on to write for television, including scripts for Superman, and Perry Mason. |
