Unsung radio at its best
In the late 1970s, the Ohio University radio station WOUB broadcast reruns of NIGHT BEAT as part of its "Monday Night at the Radio." It's where I was first introduced to this underrated but excellent series, whose original network run on NBC may have been brief but showcased some first-rate dramatic radio. Frank Lovejoy was never better as newspaper reporter Randy Stone, whose need to fill a column every week dictated the content of the stories on this memorable show. A fantastic collection that also features the original January 13, 1950 audition where the lead character was known as "Lucky" Stone.
