Many thanks to veteran broadcaster Dick Bertel for taking the time to sit down for an interview. In addition to his first-hand account of the waning days of radio in the 50s and 60s, Dick had great stories about his long career in radio including his encounter with the legendary Vincent Price (who guest-starred as himself in an episode of a Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar).
He was the golden age of radio's last detective, a character played by more actors in a dozen years than James Bond was in 50. It's been more than 50 years since his last expense report, but one case remains - The Last Man Standing Matter.

The Next Interview Matter
I just printed out my list of questions for Tuesday's interview with veteran broadcaster Dick Bertel. As one of the hosts of Golden Age of Radio in the 1970s, Bertel was instrumental in giving many of radio's finest actors, writers and producers a showcase to tell their own stories about the period. The shows are available online and are an invaluable resource for fans of radio drama.
