Pat Novak 4 Hire 2023

In the 1940's Pat Novak For Hire was a beloved crime radio drama/comedy. Since then, all episodes have fallen into the public domain. Along comes this energetic/creative team of Showbiz professionals who create a collective to rescue this classic from the PD dumpster and update original episodes to the 2020's... sorta. You see... our version of Pat Novak takes those original episodes and rewrites and re-records them with modern updates to story... jokes... and references. But... this show lives in a netherworld that is both modern and old. Still Noir... but better.
