Nothing, No One, Nobody, Null | Night Beat - “Zero” (1950)
from The Porcupine Presents ... Hosted by The Porcupine
A classic noir drama from the golden age of radio — plus bonus commentary and trivia after the show. Night Beat – “Zero” (1950) Step back into the golden age of radio with Night Beat, the short-lived but deeply influential series that followed curiosity rather than crime. In this 1950 episode, “Zero,” reporter Chuck Morgan encounters a man who claims to have no identity, no history, and no place within the systems that define modern life. What begins as a journalistic curiosity becomes a quiet, unsettling meditation on anonymity and erasure. After the broadcast, stay tuned for bonus commentary and behind-the-scenes trivia — including the unique place Night Beat occupies in radio history, Frank Lovejoy’s understated performance as Chuck Morgan, and why the show’s brief run has only deepened its cult reputation. Originally aired: 1950 Approx. runtime: 34 minutes Website: theporcupinepresents.com
