🌞 Good morning #Fediverse! This is GBH #News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 57F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10 mi.

"Johnny Dollar," a detective radio drama that first aired in the US in 1949, has become a big hit today in Iran.

Eight bulls escaped a rodeo in Attleboro, MA; as of late Sunday, one was still at large.

Congress reached a short-term spending bill that will fund federal agencies for the next 3 months.

@jztusk @gbhnews Johnny Dollar is fantastic! ALL of the episodes are at the internet archive, but the ones with Bob Bailey as Johnny are the best!

@jqheywood @gbhnews

I discovered him through an internet radio stream called "Audio Noir". "Pat Novak" is my favorite show they play, but nothing beats the Johnny Dollar opening tagline!

Does anyone have a link to an explanation of why he's gotten big in Tehran? I'm guessing it's something to do with an embargo, but I haven't searched yet....
