Michael Waring is a detective who goes by the name, The Falcon was a private detective and adventurer solving mysteries during radio's Golden Age. The Falcon was originally heard between 1943-55 with five different t actors playing the lead role. This podcast will feature all circulating episodes beginning with those starring James Meighan and Les Tremayne, before moving on to episodes starring Les Damon and finally George Petrie.

Every Monday you can expect another mystery from the files of the Falcon. This feed is brought you as part of the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio where you can hear five more Golden Age Detective programs each week.Copyright Adam Graham Art Drama & Plays Entertainment & Performing Arts
