Not a fan of how easily Johnny went along with things, especially the implied murder. But, I guess that was the temperament of the 50s, with media telling you to "trust your government."
would love to have this job back then.

I enjoy the episodes but the ramblings of narrator drives me bonkers
The sound quality has become so bad that I can't bear to listen to it anymore.
Love love love LOVE Johnny Dollar!! Been listening online to him for years and was pleased to find a few on here I haven't heard.
