Show Notes

Pat Novak for Hire was a radio series with enough snappy dialogue to metaphor a whole podcast full of patter.

But no good deed goes unpunished and soon Novak is the target of several sinister figures with plans of their own! Who is the mysterious John Saint John? What could the envelope contain that would drive men to murder? How many zingers can one script cram into a half hour? Listen for yourself and find out!
