Gang Busters was an American dramatic radio program known for bringing authentic police case histories to its audience. Created by Phillips H. Lord, the show aimed to combine the real-life aspects of newspapers with the thrilling entertainment of gangster films from the early 1930s. The program showcased true crime cases, featuring real criminals and law enforcement personnel, and often included real wanted poster alerts and teasers referred to as "Crime Buster Clues". The show was characterized by its fast-paced, hard-hitting storytelling style and well-crafted sound effects, providing a sense of excitement and suspense that was reminiscent of good gangster movies.</p><p>The radio show first premiered on January 15, 1936, and continued to be broadcast for 21 years, until November 27, 1957. Initially airing on NBC as "The G-Men," the show later shifted to CBS, the Blue Network, and the Mutual Broadcasting System, with a variety of sponsors including Chevrolet, Colgate-Palmolive, Sloan's Liniment, Waterman pens, Tide, Grape-Nuts, and Wrigley's chewing gum. Over the years, Gang Busters featured prominent names in radio broadcasting, such as Richard Widmark, Art Carney, Joan Banks, Frank Lovejoy, and Larry Haines. The popularity of the radio show also led to spin-offs in comic books, Big Little Books, as well as film and television adaptations.
