Description
Are you ready for some rare detective programs? You may have heard of the Saint, but what about the Judge or Crime Correspondent? You may have heard of Rocky Jordan, but what about the Cases of Mr. Ace? This podcast contains a mix of programs that never made it past the audition and shows that aired for a while, but only an episode or two survived the ravages of time. So sit back, relax, and meet some detectives you never heard of before in long-forgotten tales of mystery, guided by your host Adam Graham. Note: These were originally presented as part of the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio podcast feed.
