“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 »

“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.”

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 »

“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!”

“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 »
