love listening to this.
I wish there was an app that would the decelerate speech .Tired of listening to what sounds like the a disclaimer at the end of a commercial.
Ran out of time, I guess.
Loved this so much!! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy it. Caron Brown Little Elm, TX
Loved this!
sound quality on this is basically un-listenable
I love it 🥰
does anyone know what the sports car is that the guy crashed in? I can't hear it well enough to search but I'm really curious!
memories!!!
love rocky
In rural areas the school districts use the radio stations for school cancellations and such to let parents know in those area's. I remember getting up on high snowfall days and listening to the radio for school cancellations then I would climb back in bed..lol
yes I agree ... the PR in that episode against the woman, way over the top...she can build a bomb but passes out....please most women are cooler under pressure....just think of any men when their wives are in labor.
I love how Johnny always gives his helpers if any a cut of the commission. Now a days if Johnny was on the job he would take the money and run the hell with anyone else!
Brilliant Stuff i love old time radio shows so nice to relax to.
I was thinking the same thing about the driving. LOL Notice how everyone else was a bad driver and not him.
I've followed Adam Graham since the pilot episode. this is the best otr podcast period. thank you Adam for your labor of love. I've even bought 3 if his e books.
sometimes sound is really poor so can't enjoy the episodes
boston blackie r my favorites
