1001 Radio Crime Solvers Podcast

In "The Charles Welsh and Bob Walch Case," Richard Diamond is pulled into a tense investigation involving two men whose lives intersect at the worst possible moment. What begins as a routine inquiry quickly turns into a dangerous puzzle involving conflicting stories, hidden motives, and a trail of clues that refuses to line up neatly.

Diamond's trademark wit and street‑smart instincts guide him through a case filled with sharp turns and uneasy alliances. As he digs deeper, he uncovers a connection between Welsh and Walch that someone is working very hard to keep buried. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes that the truth sits at the crossroads of desperation and opportunity — and someone is willing to kill to protect it.

This episode showcases Diamond at his best: cool under pressure, quick with a wisecrack, and relentless when the facts don't add up.

"The Man Who Hated Women" opens with a chilling premise: a series of violent attacks targeting women across the city, each one more disturbing than the last. Diamond is brought in when the pattern becomes too clear to ignore, and the hunt begins for a suspect driven by anger, obsession, and a deep‑seated hatred that threatens to erupt again.

As Diamond interviews witnesses and follows the trail of fear left behind, he uncovers a psychological profile that points to a man hiding in plain sight. The investigation becomes a race against time as Diamond works to stop the next attack before it happens — and confronts a suspect whose rage has pushed him past the edge of reason.

This is one of the series' darker, more intense stories, balancing suspense with Diamond's steady, grounded presence as he closes in on a dangerous predator.

• Sharp, fast‑moving plots that highlight Diamond's mix of humor and grit

• Strong noir atmosphere with tension building scene by scene

• Memorable supporting characters who add depth and unpredictability

Stay close — another great Richard Diamond case is already on the way.

Dick Powell starred in the Richard Diamond, Private Detective radio series as a wisecracking former police officer turned private detective. Episodes typically open with a potential client calling on Diamond's cash-strapped office and agreeing to his fee of $100 a day plus expenses, or Diamond taking on a case for a former friend or partner. The show made it successfully to tv and David Janssen played Diamond- and if you can ever catch these shows they are pretty good- but so are the radio versions here!
