The scripts of this show were so well written that you felt you were really there. Frank Lovejoy as Randy Stone was a perfect matching of actor and character.

Night Beat has always been one of my favorite radio programs. Frank Lovejoy does a superb job as Randy Stone a likable news-reporter searching the big city streets of Chicago for a human interest story for his paper. What he finds are the little known dramatic events that happen in the lives of the people he meets.

Subject: zip file incomplete
Only contains three episodes!
Update: downloaded all, most episodes corrupted for play on MP3 player. Track will play partway through but will skip at precise points to next track. You can scan past skip but track will skip again at the same points every time. Many files in the archive appear to be corrupted this way. They are playable if converted to .wav form and played in standard CD player, or if played on the computer... so possibly an issue with my Sansa Clip MP3 player? Not sure, but many series I've downloaded from this archive do it. Even so, I'm thrilled to have them. Wish I could listen to these all the way through.

Subject: Good Stuff, Evokes Its Era Nicely
NIGHTBEAT was a very good series about a peripatetic newspaperman, Randy Stone, excellently portrayed by Frank Lovejoy. Some of the episodes are prosaic and predictable, others quite moving. The series doesn't quite reach the heights of its better known contemporary, DRAGNET, but it has a nice feel for big city life circa 1950, give or take a year or two, and some of the writing is first rate. The setting is Chicago, and the show "uses" the city effectively and realistically. Someone had clearly done his homework on this one. I wish the writers had reached a little higher, though, been more experimental, tried a little harder to be original. Still, on its own terms, NIGHTBEAT was a well above average series.
