The Big Town radio show was one of the most popular programs of the 1930s.
Broadcast live from New York City, the show starred Edward G. Robinson as Steve Wilson, a crusading newspaper editor. Wilson was a tough and honest man who was not afraid to take on corruption, no matter how powerful the opponent.
With the help of his loyal reporter, Casey (played by Robinson's real-life wife Gladys Lloyd), Steve took on everything from crime bosses to crooked politicians. The show was known for its gripping storylines and fast-paced action, and it quickly became one of the most popular shows on the radio.
Edward G. Robinson was one of the most famous actors of his generation, and his portrayal of Steve Wilson helped to make The Big Town one of the most iconic radio programs of all time.
Today's episode is titled "Fake Accident Racket" and first aired in 1937.
