  • So much fun.

    I adore this podcast! I always wanted to listen to the old radio programs but had no idea how many there were before I stumbled onto this podcast. Now I’m hooked for life! It’s my favorite thing to have on in the background when I’m painting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rogue’s Gallery and Richard Diamond
Q: Who did Mike Royall say would hand over the diamonds?
An angel, a line used to coax Rogue into taking the job, which later turns out to be a deception as the diamonds are not in the hands of a real angel but misdirected through a club scene.
Richard Diamond and Broadway Is My Beat
Q: What was the reason Nancy lied about the package?
Nancy needed time to discuss matters with Manny regarding the counterfeit plates that Eddie was looking for, which ultimately led to Eddie's demise.
Nick Carter and This Is Your FBI
Q: How do you go about finding a killer in a case like this?
Routine investigation to start with, looking into backgrounds and personal lives of everyone concerned to uncover motives.
Nick Carter and This Is Your FBI
Q: Did either of you go to the sick room this afternoon at any time?
Neither of them left their rooms, but they were both present in the house and claimed to have not visited their father.

Q: Did you find him yet?
The murder investigation revealed you, Miss Welch, committed the crime.

Frequently Asked Questions About Case Closed!

What is Case Closed! about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Classic crime dramas from the mid-20th century are spotlighted, often pairing two separate stories per episode that mix hard-boiled detection, theatrical narration, and period sponsorship. Listeners can expect lush period production, twists around jewel heists, insurance fraud, forensics-style deductions, and celebrity guest performances that anchor the retro thrill. The format's value lies in its approachable nostalgia, educational-to-entertaining narratives, and the way it preserves golden-age storytelling with clear, fast-paced resolutions. It's especially notable for its dual-episode structure, guest appearances, and polished host introductions that frame each tale with historical context and commentary for modern listeners.
