"A portentous event for the history of radio drama occurred in 1940 when Arthur opted to study radio writing under Erik Barnouw at Columbia University; in the same class he met David Kogan, another young writer. Unlike Arthur, Kogan had already established a radio career for himself writing a script for Bulldog Drummond, and had followed this with work for The Shadow and The Adventures of the Thin Man. It appears that it was Kogan who persuaded Arthur to collaborate on radio drama, and together they produced Dark Destiny (1942-43), later reusing some of these early scripts for episodes of The Mysterious Traveler. Arthur and Kogan also co-wrote the 1944 summer season of Nick Carter, Master Detective (1943-55), a series that had previously featured Kogan as scriptwriter."
