Great Detectives

Adam's knowledge of OTR is very impressive, and the nuggets of information he shares adds to the fun. I started listening around episode 700, and started from the beginning after getting the app. Being all caught up now (with a break to listen to all of The War; also great), it's interesting to hear how the program has changed over time. I love all the shows to one degree or another, with a special spot in my heart for Philip Marlow; if I'm ever in a jam, I want that tough but tender guy on my side. Thank's Adam for all you do. Can I put one vote in for a Green Llama episode? I heard an ad on a show once and thought "That I've gotta hear.... ". I'm imagining a combination of The Green Hornet and Mr. Mojo; how far off base am I? Thanks again. Nancy in the Chicago area.

I was born in 1958 my father although having a television repair business loved radio and the old shows we had a ham set and my father had numerous old radios from the 30s and 40s I grew to love these old shows my father bought a lot of them through the Reader's Digest program so I was exposed to these at a young age, I am so glad that you are doing this with these old detective shows I find this very enjoyable it brings me peace reminds me of years gone buy . XM also has a station dedicated to old radio shows and there is a station in Hamilton Ontario that plays them but I really like what you are doing Adam and the personal touch you give it thanks again .

The heyday of radio detective drama has been brought back to life by Adam Graham, in the order the shows were originally broadcast. Adam does his homework for every single episode, and historical nuggets he provides add additional context to the shadows. I have always been a fan of radio drama, and with this podcast I have abandoned all other forms of listening entertainment while driving in the car or going to sleep. This is the best podcast I have come across, and the app is superb. Anyone who enjoys crime drama will be thrilled with this app and it’s podcast. Keep up the good work Adam! You have hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide!

This is a fantastic podcast for those of us who enjoy old time radio detective shows. There is a wide variety of detective shows and the number of episodes exceeds two thousand. Johnny Dollar, Dragnet, Box 13, Richard Diamond are just a few to name. The host, Adam Graham provides interesting points at the beginning and end of each episode. I listen to an episode everyday, but when I have to make my periodic four hour road trip I enjoy listening to eight (30 minute) episodes sequentially. I am glad someone is taking the time to restore and preserve these treasures of American entertainment history.

This podcast provides an opportunity for us to glimpse the world as it was in the past through the eyes of the writers and the performances of the actors. The theater of the mind will never be rivaled by video presentations of someone else’s vision. Adam’s excellent commentary only serves to enhance an already pleasurable experience. Many thanks for transporting me to a time that was less derisive and where there was more hope for a better future that unfortunately didn’t happen. Respectfully, Mark C.
