The Lonely Hearts Matter - Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar

This week on The Shiver Show, we bring you The Lonely Hearts Matter from the legendary detective series Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.

Bob Bailey stars as Johnny Dollar, the cool-headed insurance investigator with the “action-packed expense account.” Johnny never shies away from danger—or a dame in distress.  A young woman hires Johnny Dollar to investigate the suspicious death of her recently remarried (and very insured) father. But would the new step-mother commit murder just to be the beneficiary to a $50,000 insurance policy?

Produced and directed by Jack Johnstone, this 1956 broadcast showcases Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar at the height of its Golden Age glory. Bailey’s performance remains the definitive portrayal of the wisecracking, world-weary gumshoe—equal parts charm, grit, and moral conviction. Backed by sharp writing and atmospheric sound design, this episode delivers everything you’d want in a classic radio noir: smoky voices, crackling suspense, and a touch of heartbreak.

Time Warp Studios has remastered the episode and removed all the advertisements, so that you get the Johnny Dollar story, and nothing but the story. So pour yourself a whiskey, dim the lights, and listen in as Johnny Dollar tallies up another billable adventure.
