Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar is an American radio drama that aired from 1949 to 1962, following freelance insurance investigator Johnny Dollar, whose cases were framed through the itemized expense account he filed at the close of each episode, giving the series its self-description as radio's most tightly budgeted detective. The show continued producing new episodes after most other American radio drama had already ceased as television took over the mass entertainment audience. Its final 1962 broadcast is frequently cited by broadcast historians as marking the effective end of the golden age of American radio drama.
