I was a huge Hardy Boys fan when I was a kid, but I never heard of the Three Investigators series until a few months ago. I was listening to a horror podcast and they played a story called "Footsteps Invisible." I'm a fan of Old Time Radio and I recognized the name of the story's author, Robert A. Arthur as a well-known writer of classic radio programs. Turns out he also edited the Alfred Hitchcock anthology books back in the day and also created the Three Investigators series. Ever since then the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon has kicked in and I'm seeing references to Jupiter Jones and the Three Investigators everywhere I look.
"Footsteps Invisible" can be listened to here:

"S.O.S." and "Death is the Judge" from the Mysterious Traveller radio program were both written by Arthur and can be listened to for free at the Internet Archive.
