    Adam,
    LOVE the show! I just made a $25 donation. Would love to receive the Perry Mason. If you can find it, the movie version of Lucky Legs is a real treat. It threw me at first because it is so different from the Aaron Burr series – more of a screwball comedy. But it is one of my favorite old-time movies.
    Thanks for your show.
    Tom

    I remember my mother talking about listening to the radio programs when she was a girl and I always regretted not being able to listen to them myself. Your programming lets me know that the programs were as good as she told me they were.

    Perry Mason program please

    Love the program. Donated $250 and received your ebook and tried to get the Nero Wolfe series. Not sure how to retrieve it however. Thanks again for all the great memories. The ads are enlightening as we’ll. They tell the story of WWII and how are govt added departments and grew. Also the patriotism!

    Hi Adam!

    I’m currently working through Johnny Dollar and finished up Candy Matson a while ago. I really enjoy your comments and now when I listen to other podcasts that don’t have comments I miss it.

    Keep up the good work!

    (I’d like the Father Brown Mysteries please)

    Thanks for your support, Debbie. I emailed you and you sent me your address, so your Nero Wolfe DVDs will be other way. Satisfactory, I hope. 🙂

    I donated $20, but don’t understand how I recive your book and the Perry Mason mysteries. Would you pls explain how my selections will be forwarded to me?
    Love your shows. Every night either Joe Friday or a gruff detective puts me to sleep. You are better than a music to relax me and you make the day end on a positive note.

    I just donated $20 and would love to receive the Perry Mason set. Thank you for keeping the lights burning. You do a wonderful job of helping those of us who remember when the great detective shows were first broadcast remember when imagination was fed not dulled. You’re a wonderful late night companion. Where there any Charlie Chan radio programs? I can’t remember. Again, thanks!!

    I just donated and would be interested in either the two Michael Shayne Dell paperbacks or, failing that, the gift certificate to Radio Archives. I originally started listening to your podcast about 3 years ago for the Sherlock Holmes episodes, but then tried the other detectives and have been hooked ever since. Thanks so much for your hard work, it’s very much appreciated – I love listening while I’m driving to or from work or doing household chores.

    Hi Adam – I have been listening to your program since its inception and love it, commentary and all. Love how you play the programs from beg to end. Am especially glad to hear that Phillip Marlowe is coming up. Like you, it’s my very favorite – I think the best. I wanted to ask if Broadway’s My Beat is on your lineup. I would love to hear that from start to finish. Another fav program, though it’s not really a detective series, is Rocky Jordan. I own all that’s available on CD, but would love to hear the beginning series which I think were 15 min and took place in Istanbul prior to Cairo. Do you have access to the early programs? Thanks again, love what you do.

    Thank you for all the hard work! I listen to every episode and I miss hearing them on the weekends! I guess that means I’m hooked! : ) Thank you!!!!

    I just made a donation via my PayPal address, and would like to receive Perry Mason via the email address I just filled in above, LOVE THE SHOWS – I extirpated my back fighting a fire years ago, and wouldn’t make it through the night without your superb shows. Thanks!

    This is your best podcast next to Dragnet. Your knowledge and information about each show gives all of us information which we otherwise would never know. Keep up your wonderful work Adam and thank you from all of us.
