The era of radio drama was a time when storytelling was a purely auditory experience, and "Broadway Is My Beat" was a shining example of this art form. Running on CBS from 1949 to 1954, this radio crime drama painted a vivid picture of New York City's underbelly, with Times Square Detective Danny Clover at the center of the action.
The show began with Anthony Ross voicing Detective Clover, bringing to life the gritty streets of New York during its first three months. However, it was Larry Thor who would become synonymous with the role for the remainder of the series. The atmospheric music by Robert Stringer and scripts by Peter Lyon set the tone for the dark and moody narratives that unfolded each week.
Directed by John Dietz and later produced by Lester Gottlieb, "Broadway Is My Beat" made a significant move from New York to Hollywood. This transition marked a new era for the show, with producer Elliott Lewis at the helm, introducing new scripts by Morton S. Fine and David Friedkin. The iconic opening theme, "I'll Take Manhattan," perfectly encapsulated the essence of Detective Clover's world, from Times Square to Columbus Circle.
The show was a collaborative effort, with music by Wilbur Hatch and Alexander Courage complementing the storytelling. The sound effects team, consisting of David Light, Ralph Cummings, and Ross Murray, played a crucial role in recreating the bustling soundscape of Manhattan.
The announcers, Bill Anders and Joe Walters, along with a supporting cast featuring Charles Calvert and Jack Kruschen, brought additional depth to the series. Notable guest stars from television, radio, and film graced the episodes, adding star power and variety to the show's roster.
"Broadway Is My Beat" remains a testament to the golden age of radio drama, showcasing the power of sound to transport listeners to another time and place. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of storytelling before the visual dominance of television and film. For those who yearn for the nostalgia of radio's heyday, "Broadway Is My Beat" is a timeless treasure worth revisiting.

In Box 13 Dan Holiday, a newspaper reporter turned fiction writer, puts an advert in his old paper The Star Times, in search of ideas for his story. The ad reads 'Adventure wanted, will go anyplace, do anything. Write to Box 13.' The replies, therefore, arrived at the Newspapers Box 13, and with them always brought troubles and adventures for Mr Holiday. Alan Ladd played the part of Dan Holiday, with Slyvia Picker playing his scatterbrain secretary Suzy.
There were also a host of other guest stars (Lurene Tuttle, Marsha Hunt to name but a couple) rotating throughout the programme, and whilst there were also many writers who co – wrote the programme's, Ladd was the main writer.This radio programme was a syndicated series, heard on Sunday evenings on the Mutual Network. It was the product of Alan Ladd and Richard Sandville, two owners of the famous Mayfare restaurants in Los Angeles during the second world war.
Ladd's ambition to get on the radio in his own series was thwarted in part because he was under contract to Paramount, who did not allow him to appear on radio, except on occasions when he appeared as a guest on programmes such as Lucky Jordan. At the end of the war, Ladd and Sandville sold the Mayfare restaurant and formed Mayfare productions, of which two mainstay shows were Box 13 and The Unexpected.
