  • Needs a change

    New ads during the middle of the episodes has forced me to stop listening. Beginning or end in fine, not bluntly in the middle.

  • Love the shoes

    If the show was taped recorded in the 1940s or earlier…I kid you not - the audio is unlistenable. Too scratchy or quiet or both. Other than that no complaints

  • Great selection - Good quality

    I follow several podcasts of classic radio mystery shows...this is as good as any.

    Most of my favorite titles represented and good quality recording for most of them.

    Some other podcasts don[t interrupt the show with commercials but the interruptions are brief.

  • Poor audio - fix please

    I downloaded some Johnny Dollar episodes. The recording is playing too fast on the two episodes I tried to listen to. Too distracting to listen to a whole episode. His voice pitch is too high due to the fast playback speed.
