THIS IS THE BEST!
I know Adam likes to hear about younger listeners, I'm 19 and listen to this daily. I've been a fan of the early hardboiled crime noir detective writers like Hammett and chandler for a while now but since I started college I haven't had any time to read extra books unrelated to school. This way I still fit in my fix of crime noir while doing dishes. But I'm almost caught up! Not looking forward to having to wait for new episodes. I only listen to the Bob Bailey ones so I might have to check out the other ones. Also speaking of crime noir, they steal from Hammett and Chandler (as well as film noir movies) in these all the time. The first bob bailey was almost the same story as Chandler's "farewell, my lovely" and episode 1089 takes steals chapter 2 of Hammett's "red harvest". Everything from the rich and powerful bed-ridden old man, to the physical description of the assistant, the threat to throw the detective out, the assistant knowing he's not strong enough to do so. Everything. Also, I'm a composer studying film scoring and the music is fantastic! It's so great. The main theme is very dramatic and there's lots of other great cues throughout like the dreamy chromatic clarinet theme (example of this in epsd. 1089 at 22:30). Keep it up Adam! Such high quality entertainment. I hope it never ends.Read full review »

More reviews of The Great Detectives Present Yours Truly Johnny Dollar (Old Time Radio)
I love the shows but way too much personal chatter. TMI you have to fast forward through.

Several times I have waited for an episode and it doesn't come. Like the part 5 of the Forbes Matter. Waited for it but it never showed. Frustrating when you don't know the whole story. Like a waste of time. I have to go look them up on the Internet to get the whole story.Read full review »

Love Johnny Dollar! Started listening to him with my mom on car rides. Takes me back to an era long ago and a time in America when things were simple and wholesome
