Dangerous Assignment is the old-time radio series first heard 1949–1953. Every episode we have, 285 of them, plays here in the order it first aired.
The Dangerous Assignment recordings here come from the Old Time Radio Researchers' Dangerous Assignment Singles set (199 episodes), hosted by the Internet Archive. Our thanks to the Old Time Radio Researchers, the volunteers who found, dated and assembled the set, and to the Archive and the collectors whose uploads it rests on. The sound is our remaster of those files (rumble, hiss and hum cleaned out, levelled to steady broadcast loudness); the recordings themselves are theirs. About our sources.
