The Big Shirt

Saturday, June 5th, 2010
Since March 2007, I've been podcasting one radio episode of Dragnet per week to recreate the experience of Dragnet's first listeners, as well as providing commentary and sharing listener feedback before and after the show. The show has listeners across America and around the World.

Also, I'll be posting a Monthly public domain Dragnet TV episode. If you'd like to join this journey through Dragnet, click here to add the show to Itunes or here if you'd like to subscribe through Zune. For all other services, click .

My Favorite 1960s Dragnet (#35): The Investigation

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

This is one of those episodes that I find impressive just for the pure doggedness of the police work portrayed, similar to the radio episode, 16 Jewelry Thefts in that regard. In this episode, Friday and Gannon are investigating some applicants to the police academy. There are some employers that ask for references, but don’t check. As learned in this episode, the Los Angeles Police Department is not one of them.

My Favorite 1960s Dragnet #36: DR-21 (Narcotics)

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Another Season 3 educational episode. This one is particularly fascinating as it tells the story of the introduction of drug-sniffing dogs. This one’s got a nice docudrama feel to it.
