What is up with the You Might Also Like interruptions?!?! How about this, if you are going to be obtrusive at least list shows that go along with the theme! I’m sure you’re getting a kickback but really!

I’ve been a huge fan of old-time radio since I was in elementary school and would check out LPs of old Sherlock Holmes and The Shadow radio shows. I’ve been listening to old Time radio collections since they first started popping up on the Internet and tried every old radio show podcast there is....Read full review »

When I first started listening to Adam, he was but a wee lad. Though his voice resonated that of someone with many decades under his belt. Than I got use to his glorious voice and ears delighted to find out he was a youngster. Great, I want him to keep broadcasting. Thanks Adam for all the ...Read full review »

After years of building a solid brand for himself Adam introduced an advertising feed that was, and still is, incongruent with his brand but the introduction of unsolicited “Something You Might Like” downloads in the podcast subscription is too much! How much money is he making using my device...Read full review »

I LOVE this podcast. Great mysteries and I don’t want to understate the effort to produce a daily podcast. I don’t mind the ads before and after the episodes. BUT the random addition of totally unrelated podcasts into my subscription feed is not appreciated. I’m going to unsubscribe and just...Read full review »

Adam refers to himself a host, but I think of him more as a highly qualified volunteer docent leading a tour in a museum. He applies his knowledge to provide insightful context, and his passion for old time radio is as palpable as it is infectious. Like a good docent, Adam curates the best and...Read full review »

I listen to many old time radio podcast but this is one of the best. Adam has a great deal of knowledge and share’s information regarding shows or episodes that not found elsewhere . The quality of the shows is generally good. Trivial matter of Adams voice or daring to spread out episode are...Read full review »

Adam introduced me to OTR several years ago and I love it! Great job, Adam - keep up the good work. And, thanks.
$bella via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/24
The programs are great and the host presents well and provides good background information and insight. However, the number of ads has steadily increased and the hour of infomercials (waste of internet data) at the end as of late is a bit too much. Hopefully this changes.

People that complain about commercials or Adam’s voice should consider what it takes for someone like Adam who built this podcast many years ago and made it more robust as a sideline to his day job on his own with nothing but love of old time radio behind him. I for one have grown to love the...Read full review »

I'm not a fan of Dangerous Assignment and shows of that nature. In my opinion they just don't fit in a detective show podcast. Other than that, I really enjoy the podcast and it's still worth five stars. Dragnet and Tales of the Texas Rangers are my favorites.Read full review »
R. E. L. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/24
I appreciate Adam’s collection of detective serials. I do wonder why he pronounces Idaho as Addahoe. While I enjoy the vintage gumshoe serials, I am not a fan of him advertising for an MLM. I’m not going to give the name, but it’s tacky to do a promo for a business that likes to sucker gullible...Read full review »

Adam has put his heart and soul into this Podcast for more than a decade. He presents all kinds of OTR detective shows in chronological order with interesting commentary after every show. 5 stars all day long! Thank you Adam for all the listening pleasure you brought us!
Jimmy-K2000 via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 02/11/24
Like a curator at a massive art gallery, Adam takes great care to thoughtfully present radio detective shows from long ago. These shows might otherwise be lost to time! Keep up the good work.
aptandy79 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/24
…the host Adam’s voice sounds like a voice invented by Mel Blanc for a character that didn’t quite make it into the Warner Brothers cartoons.
MAFinOKC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/23
Adam is a true old time radio show aficionado! Thank you Adam for all the research you do on the shows! More Dragnet and Johnny Dollar!!
Pat from CA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/25/23
I gave it a five out of five because of everything even the accents are amazing
Silllynillllyy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/23
I have notice there is a piggy back episode behind ep4230 this is not the first one. The loss cast is the restless ones. Hope there is a explanation or maybe your feed is forced to do this. Great show Adam I enjoy every work shift helps pass the time.
Vicgord via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/10/23
The reason why I give it a four star is because the host has a terrible accent but other than that I love it
da boss1111111111 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/23
Appreciate all the work you do to present quality product
MGILL006 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/23
I love the content, but I listen to relax and decompress from my day. In Alberta Canada all we get fed is Alberta government propaganda. Less political advertisements would be nice. Perhaps I may have to get a VPN.
Esin------:( via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/01/23
The episodes are good, however Adam’s (the host) over the top, cartoon voice is so annoying, he makes it difficult to tune in. Every time I listen, I have to skip his intros... and when he interrupts an episode, I have to stop to skip his babble. It’s a shame. He ruins a potentially great...Read full review »

I enjoyed the show tremendously, and the host did I nice job on the presentation as well. Just gave five stars as my response.
rosebroadcasting via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/23
A great podcast featuring OTR detective and detective-adjacent shows from decades past. Adam Graham provides insightful commentary on the shows, from the truly memorable to the painfully lame. It’s a window into the world of radio entertainment as it used to be, and an opportunity to enjoy some...Read full review »
Garrideb527 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/23
30 minutes of infomercials at end of episode is enough to make me look elsewhere for listening
Samantha trite via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/23
Adam does a great job presenting a comprehensive archive of early radio dramas. I appreciate his post-commentary and his knowledge of the actors performing in the various shows. I don’t mind the ads if it means that it helps keeps these old radio shows available.
Aaronsr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/23
Adam is a wonderful host and passionate about these shows. A huge selection of genuine old time radio shows regularly updated to keep us entertained. Each episode uploaded in full and the sound quality is great. Thank you for these little gems Adam, your hard work and dedication is appreciated!
Accio Pod via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/01/23
I really love this podcast. The content and audio quality of the shows presented in this podcast is very good, but unlike other podcast which broadcast old radio shows, the host Adam Graham makes them come alive. I really enjoy his commentary and insights into each episode. If you are looking for...Read full review »

I have been listening to this podcast for over ten years. I know there are other OTR podcasts and I’ve even downloaded some of the Audible collections. But Adam is so true to the original play times and his thorough research of actors and shows makes it so much more enjoyable. I love the way he...Read full review »

I’ve listened to this for years now. It’s followed me from phone to phone. The before and after commentary may not be for some but I find it adds to the experience. I love the radio adverts when they’re left in. Gives you a real feeling of hearing it at the time of broadcast, while the post show...Read full review »
Cardinal Chunder via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/17/23
1) this is packed to the gills with loud, crappy and unwanted ad breaks from front to back, which completely ruins both the story and the overall mood of a classic radio drama. 2) as if the ad breaks weren’t already pathetic in their own money grubbing way, the nerd who “hosts” this podcast also...Read full review »

Thanks for your great podcast. Keeps me going while working from home and love Adams narration too, so informative
mirandaBeith via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/08/23
The guy needs to shut up. No one needs 10 minutes of his liberal comments on each show. It’s annoying.
GuitarshopGuitars via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/23
The actual programs are great, however the host needs to hire someone to read his intros/ outros, terrible voice
TJwheelie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/23
As a rural mail carrier in rural Maine spending 6 plus hours in a car 6 days a week I’d be lost without it! Have been listening for a few years and finally getting around to reviewing. I truly thank you for what your doing!
Bilog68 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/23
I listen to this podcast everyday. Love the shows. The detective/private detective in each show are interesting. The shows are GREAT.

A great way to escape the grim reality of today

I love Adams insight along with the history coming to life!
padinovots via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/23
Adam hosts a great cast focused exclusively on detectives and mystery OTR. Thank you and well done, cheers!
Judge_Dredd_ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/23
Back when there was no foul language and an actual mystery! I’ve been listening for years! This is my favorite way to pass the time during my daily travels and commute.
We4Martins via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/22
Adam does a great job finding and sharing radio detective shows.
DJA-WVC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/23/22
Adam finds and produces the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of this genre. He has lead to the Discovery
db121 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/12/22
This podcast is a must-listen for anyone who is a fan of the Golden Age of Radio. Not only is it great to hear some well-known and popular series and characters (such as Johnny Dollar and Dragnet), but I’ve also been exposed to numerous shows I had never heard of before. Adam is a wealth of...Read full review »
Caleb in PA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/22
This used to be my favorite old time radio podcast but there are too many minutes of commercials now. It has become unbearable to wade through the ads to get to the content. Sorry Adam, I appreciate that you are an entrepreneur and have monetized your shows but the ads have ruined it for me. ...Read full review »
