The Fat Man
Murder Rides a Wheelchair
par
The Fat Man is a detective radio drama centered on Brad Runyon, a private investigator whose imposing size and easygoing manner contrast with his sharp instincts. He works cases alongside his secretary, Kay Conn, bringing a grounded, conversational presence to stories of crime and investigation.
The program unfolds as a sequence of mysteries, with Runyon following clues, questioning suspects, and sorting through conflicting accounts. Its radio storytelling relies on dialogue, narration, and sound effects to establish scenes and build suspense, while the cases draw on the familiar world of private-eye fiction.
The series balances danger with a relaxed, wry tone. Runyon is not a hard-boiled caricature: his humor and unhurried style make him an approachable guide through the twists of a case. This episode is titled “Murder Rides a Wheelchair.”
