“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!”

“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...”Read full review »

“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 »

“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 »

“There are a number of ways to consume old time radio detective stories, but I have not found a more exhaustive, organized podcast, often presenting the harder to find episodes.
The ads of the time, and sometimes long intros and closing music are left intact, leading to long modern intros and ads...”Read full review »

“As a lifelong fan of OTR, (I’m 40 years too young to have heard the original broadcasts), I appreciate these podcasts. Adam Graham provides not only original air dates, but also show descriptions. That is something sadly lacking in most OTR podcasts. Give a listen and check out the other offerings.”

“I have been listening to the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio for quite some time now, and I must say how much I really enjoy it. I have also listened to other old-time radio detective podcasts, but this one is my absolute favorite, bar none. Why? Mainly because of the host, Adam Graham. He not...”Read full review »

“This classic radio podcast is amazingly comprehensive. Graham does a good job of acquiring the range of each season. But the sound is sometimes awful. Curator doesn't work on the sound at all. Most of all, he talks way too much in a very annoying voice. He gets complaints about this but...”Read full review »

“The plus side: the old radio shows are great.
The bad side: Adam needs to just shut up. His voice is unsuited for radio. His comments are utterly inane. Fortunately I can usually just fast-forward through his painfully amateurish commentary—which is getting longer and longer and more and more...”Read full review »

“One person stated your English was questionable. I disagree. You speak well but it’s your up/down in tone and volume I wish you could improve. Please listen to yourself and you will see. You speak pretty evenly and bam go really up in volume startling.
I enjoy the shows. Thank you.”

My biggest issue is his voice is SO VERY LOUD, in contrast to the episode, at the beginning and THE ENDING......”Read full review »
