Okay, generally in this space we tell you how great the old time radio program is, its captivating, engaging, telling wonderful stories, etc. Not so much this time. If you're sick of good old time radio, then try this one. (We hadn't heard of this show, we got the program, set it all up for sale, then realized that many consider it to be the worst old time radio program that was ever aired.)

Danger, Dr Danfield was first broadcast on August 18, 1946 and consisted of 26 episodes with the last one being April 13, 1947. Dr. Daniel Danfield, played by Stephen Dunn, was an obnoxious unlicensed private investigator/criminal psychologist with an ego complex. JoAnne Johnson portrayed Rusty Fairfax, his secretary. A third character, Mario is Dr. Dan's chauffeur, a classic working-class Italian who sounds like Chico Marx, The series was written by Ralph Wilkinson and produced by Wally Ramsey.

Many reviewers, hate the show. Some quotes are:
This series consistently featured some of the worst acting and writing of any detective show to reach the airwaves.
If mindless detective drama is what you're looking for and you've tried the rest, then let Dr. Dan Danfield give you a little of a criminal psychologist's caseload.
The show makes good drive-time or casual listening, since it doesn't make great demands on the emotions or intellect.

In short, we recommend you try listening to the two free episodes before you spend any money.
