Rocky Fortune / Dr. Christian (Old Time Radio Variety)

Classic Radio Rewind #69 – Rocky Fortune & Dr. Christian In this episode, we dive into the salty suspense and small-town drama of vintage radio’s golden age.

🎙️ First up: Rocky Fortune stars Frank Sinatra as a street-smart drifter who lands a gig as an oyster shucker—only to uncover a plot as slippery as a shellfish in a tidepool. It’s tough talk, fast moves, and a shucking good mystery.

🩺 Then: Dr. Christian faces a frontier crisis in Operation in a Shack, where compassion and courage are tested in a remote outpost. With stakes as high as the fever, this story reminds us why kindness was once America’s greatest prescription.
