I have yet to find much information on this old time radio program. I believe this is a radio program that was produced in South Africa from 1967-1969. A detective/mystery themed show. Not many broadcasts from the Hidden Truth exist today, so I recommend checking it out! I think you will enjoy.

Unlike his contemporaries Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, Craig had a laid-back personality, somewhat cutting against the popular "hard-boiled detective" stereotype. Others in the cast included Parley Baer and Betty Lou Gerson.
