    So bizarrely weird that not only do they use everyone's full name in every sentence, but he uses the full name of his long term partner in every address. In mr keen no one he speaks to has never heard of anyone named keen except the famous detective so immediately assumes that is who this stranger is

      Mentioned in the show notes. Love William Conrad but he's in so much old time radio that giving a verbal shoutout every time he shows would be a bit much. I did talk talk about his performance in the first episode of the series, "Great Expectations"

  • @Bigbadwhitecracker

    Solid episode, mostly due to some really great acting, as Adam mentioned. It reminds of a Dragnet TV episode (not sure if there's a radio version of this one) where Joe and Frank have to leave Los Angeles to look for a extremely wealthy missing man. They end up finding him very much alive, out if the middle of nowhere in an RV. The man reminds Joe and Frank that the law states that he cannot report back to his family his whereabouts and that he indeed is alive and faked his own death. He felt it was the best way to handle his selfish ungrateful family. They get everything if he's dead and it's up to them to hang on to it. So Joe and Frank respect his decision and head back to LA. There is a bit of a twist at the very end, so if someone wants to seek out this episode, I won't disclose it here. But it's a tad more realistic than what he just heard here although this was very entertaining. I think of the current crop of shows running on GDOOTR, it's the best of the recent entries.

    Ya….that’d be pretty annoying to have to deal with negative comments. The comments about your voice may be actually true, how your voice is distinctive, but in a positive way! Your voice has a pleasant ring or sound to it, and I find it endearing. So yes, you sound different. But Happily so! Love your show….enjoy your comments! 😊

    Talk about overthinking! First, the whole 13th floor “analysis” is likely to resolve the curiosity of maybe the .000304% of listeners who even gave it a passing thought. And the Clarksville “lack of research” concern caused me to wonder, “does Adam realize that Mr. Chameleon is a fictional program?” Love the podcast and will keep on listening.
