Apple Podcasts5Zoo2u2United States12 years ago - I really enjoy Pat Novak
Pat Novak is old time radio at its best. Harder than hard boil. The language is as quick as a machine gun, and just as cold hearted. Yet, somehow Pat seems like a good guy, despite the lack of evidence he leaves behind on the lonely and cynical streets of San Francisco.
The host, Adam Graham, has a homey, knowledgable style. His enthusiasm is contagious. He's a fan, not a pro. He's all about informative and interesting. Three cheers for Adam. Three cheers for Pat Novak.
Apple Podcasts5DonalddragonUnited States13 years ago - Enjoyable shows
I really enjoy the episodes AND the host's insights and historical info. If Mr Graham's commentary becomes irritating to you, a few seconds on the ff button should solve that problem.
