🎙️ SHOW NOTES — 1001 Radio Days

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar

Starring Bob Bailey as the man with the action‑packed expense account

This week brings two standout Dollar cases — one involving a family whose cheerful façade hides a dangerous secret, and another where a holiday‑season mystery turns into a fast‑moving chase for truth and justice.

🏡 Episode 1: "The Happy Family Matter"

Johnny is sent to investigate an insurance claim involving a family that seems almost too perfect — smiling faces, polite manners, and a story that doesn't quite add up. What begins as a routine inquiry quickly turns into a puzzle of conflicting accounts, hidden tensions, and a secret someone in the household is desperate to keep buried.

As Johnny digs deeper, he discovers that behind the cheerful exterior lies a web of fear, manipulation, and a motive strong enough to put everyone at risk. To crack the case, Johnny must peel back the layers of a family portrait that's been carefully painted to hide the truth.

A clever, character‑driven mystery with a slow burn that pays off in classic Dollar fashion.

🎄 Episode 2: "The Carmen Kringle Matter"

A holiday‑season case lands on Johnny's desk when a man named Carmen Kringle — no relation to Santa, but just as elusive — becomes the center of a suspicious insurance claim. What starts as a lighthearted assignment quickly turns serious when Johnny uncovers signs of fraud, danger, and a trail that leads straight into the shadows of the city.

As he follows Kringle's movements, Johnny encounters a cast of colorful characters, each with their own version of the truth. The deeper he goes, the clearer it becomes that someone is using the holiday rush as cover for a crime that could turn deadly.

A lively, fast‑paced episode with a festive backdrop and a sharp noir edge.
