Dragnet - "Big Set-Up" (Old Time Radio, 1951)

The Thrive team addresses the complexities of friendship for individuals living with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) in their latest discussion. Participants express concerns about how their condition might affect their relationships, revealing fears that friends may distance themselves if their health deteriorates. The conversation aims to foster deeper connections and understanding among those facing similar challenges.

In a related segment, the podcast highlights the importance of community and support networks for individuals with CIDP. The discussion emphasizes that strong friendships can be a vital source of strength and resilience, encouraging listeners to navigate their health journeys while maintaining meaningful relationships. The episode ultimately seeks to empower listeners to feel more in control of their health and social lives.

Dragnet presents “Big Set-Up,” episode 109 of the classic NBC radio series, originally broadcast July 12, 1951. Jack Webb stars as Sergeant Joe Friday, alongside Barton Yarborough as Sergeant Ben Romero.

Assigned to burglary detail in Los Angeles, Friday and Romero investigate a carefully planned series of thefts from affluent homes, where furs and jewelry are the preferred targets. As the detectives compare patterns among the victims, a lead points them toward the city’s upscale social scene. Produced and directed by Jack Webb, this 1951 episode should not be confused with the separate 1955 Dragnet story of the same title.

Dragnet presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
