    I have listened to Adam and these wonderful shows since 2011. Every day right before bedtime. Each one is unique and has something to offer. Law and order definitely is based on Dragnet, which is my favorite.

    I just wanted to add a positive spin on a terrific show that will never grow old.

    Thank you Adam Graham for Great Detectives of Old Time Radio.

  • Is it possible to clean up the sound?

    I love listening to the shows, but the sound is very muffled as well as having a squeak in it. It sounds like the master tapes are damaged. Are you able to clean it up any better?
