Dragnet. Volume 4 - audiobook

In a radio schedule packed with dangerous dames and gat-toting gumshoes, "Dragnet" was a strikingly different and provocative program that took an inside look at the everyday work of police officers. Deliberately understated and low-key, the series was created by and stars Jack Webb as Sergeant Joe Friday - an average cop who spends his days - and often his nights - working with his colleagues to investigate serious crimes. Setting aside the slam-bang dramatics that were a staple of most detective shows, "Dragnet" took a semi-documentary approach to police work and, in the process, established a format that still resonates in today's realistic television dramas. In this fourth Radio Archives collection, you'll enjoy twelve engrossing dramas from this still-impressive and often very adult radio series.
