"Spin the odds. Hide the grudge. Shayne’s got your number."

GDAY! You brilliant brews of tea and true crime curiosities—

Tonight, we plunge into the cigarette-hazed alleys and ticking silence of a world where justice wears a fedora and trouble never calls ahead. This is Michael Shayne: Old Time Radio—your gateway to gritty gumshoes, sharp-tongued suspects, and justice served with a side of bruised knuckles and bourbon breath.

This episode? Oh, it’s a double pour of noir nectar. A two-case special straight from the golden age of radio drama, featuring two standout mysteries that’ll keep your ears wide and your tea warm:

The Case of the Crooked Wheel

Luck’s a lie, and Michael Shayne knows it. When he steps into a glitzy casino where the wheel never lands where it should, it doesn’t take long before one unlucky gambler ends up permanently out of play. What starts as a curious death quickly reveals a nest of deceit, manipulation, and house rules written in blood.
We haaaaaave:
– Rigged games with deadly consequences
– Smirking dealers with slippery stories
– And Shayne, pacing the velvet floor, unearthing truths the casino hoped would stay buried under chips and champagne.

The wheel’s spinning, but the question is: Who stacked the odds… and who’s about to lose everything?

The Hate That Killed

Revenge doesn’t age—it curdles. In this slower, darker tale, Shayne is called in after a brutal murder shocks a seemingly quiet community. But as the pieces fall into place, it’s clear the killer didn’t act out of impulse—but out of long-held, soul-poisoning hate. This isn't about money, or even power—it's about emotion sharpened into a weapon.
