PAT NOVAC FOR HIRE was my favorite of the old noir radio detective dramas. Starring Jack Webb as Pat Novac, the writing was simply great---over the top--vivid--ironically funny and intelligent.

Novac, in describing a fem fatale, after alluding to her legs and her figure, said in one episode:

"She had a voice like a bowl of warm stew!"

I always think of Terry Gross when I remember that line...
