" I Was A Communist For The FBI" - An internal memo revealing the Bureau played no role in production of this specific radio program and was not endorsed by the FBI
"This Is Your FBI" was a radio crime drama which aired in the United States on ABC from April 6, 1945 to January 30, 1953. FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover gave it his endorsement, calling it "the finest dramatic program on the air."
Producer-director Jerry Devine was given access to FBI files by Hoover, and the resulting dramatizations of FBI cases were narrated by Frank Lovejoy (1945), Dean Carleton (1946-47) and William Woodson (1948-53). Stacy Harris had the lead role of Special Agent Jim Taylor. Others in the cast were William Conrad, Bea Benaderet and Jay C. Flippen.
"This Is Your FBI" was sponsored during its tenure by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, now known as AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company.
