Exactly what it says on the tin
Actual radio drama’s from the day. Sophisticated or cunning they are not but they are definitely fun featuring gum shoes of the golden era.

Fun, but you have to be in the right mood
Cheesy and sexist as all get-out, but if you're in the right state of mind for old-fashioned American detective nonsense, it's perfect. And the music! That was the best part.
