Crime Classics

New Hampshire, the Tiger and Brad Ferguson, What Happened Then

English

Crime Classics presents dramatized accounts of notorious crimes and criminal cases, drawing on historical events and the people connected to them. Hosted by Thomas Hyland, each program frames its story as an investigation into what happened and why, bringing the past to life through narration and dramatic scenes.

The series blends documentary-style commentary with acted dialogue and sound effects. Its stories range across different eras and places, following the circumstances surrounding a crime, the evidence and motives, and the consequences for those involved. The episode title points to a case involving New Hampshire and Brad Ferguson.

The result is a measured, atmospheric crime program: part historical inquiry, part radio drama. Hyland’s guiding presence gives the stories a clear frame, while the performances and sound design create a vivid sense of the people and events under examination.
