  • Summary

  • Join us for every circulating episode of Richard Diamond, Private Detective. The series aired from 1949-52 (and returned in reruns for CBS in 1953) and starred Dick Powell in his seminal hard-boiled radio private eye as the two-fisted singing detective, Richard Diamond, who'd spend each episode alternating being wisecracks, violent fist fights, and gun battles, and relaxing by the piano singing a beautiful serenade to his girlfriend.

    The series also stars Virginia Gregg as Dick's wealthy girlfriend Helen Asher, Wilms Herbert plays Sergeant Otis, and a series of actors including Ed Begley and Arthur Q. Bryant play Diamond's best friend, Lieutenant Walt Levinson.

    Adam Graham is your host providing commentary on each episode, adding historical context and responding to listeners during the period the series was a featured show on the Great Detectives of Old TIme Radio podcast.

    Over the last two years, there’s been a rise in “immune-boosting” foods, supplements and trends. Today's guest, immunologist Dr. Jenna Macciochi, believes the immune system doesn’t need boosting. Instead, it should be balanced.

    In this episode, Jenna - a Senior Lecturer in Immunology at the University of Sussex - reveals how your immune system is your body’s housekeeper. Jenna highlights the case for the ‘good bugs’ in our gut microbiome, the role of micronutrients and how our immune system isn’t born, but made.

    We'll also tackle the age-old question: do we really need Vitamin C supplements?
