Fat Man, The

Broadcast History: 21 January 1946 to 26 September 1951

The Fat Man was a 1945 – 50 ABC Radio series starring the rich voice of J. Scott Smart as Brad Runyon the overweight detective also known as The Fat Man.

Each program started the same way, with the announcer appearing to let us in to a secret. “He’s walking in to that drugstore . He’s stepping on to the scales.” The sound of a coin dropping, and then a mechanical voice: “weight 237 pounds. Fortune: danger.” The music rises then fades. “Who is it? The Fat Man!”
