Candy v. Nero
In the course of planning the schedule. I have reasons for the show's I pick, but this time, I'm letting the listeners decide between two great detectives to be our regular Tuesday Night show after Jeff Regan and Father Brown are finished with their runs in November.
The two shows you'll get to choose between are Candy Matson and Nero Wolfe. Below is a brief run down of the shows and the characters, as well as a link to a Sample episode, you can listen to of each show off of Archive.org:
