It's time now for Johnny Dellar Vic Carson, Johnny State Unity Life. Oh,
1:59
what's in your mind? You got a job for you if you're interested.
2:01
I just received a report from our agent in Venice, Venice. Oh,
2:05
I'd love it so off. Nights along the Canal and California, Johnny,
2:10
Okay, what is it? Murder Bernard Slade, aged fifty six penny
2:14
arcade operator in Ocean Park. That's right right next door to Venus. Go
2:17
on, Well, the body was found in living quarters at the rear of
2:21
an arcade in the amusement zone. Killer unknown and Barney. Slade must have
2:25
been quite a movie fan. The police found his apartment plastered with photographs of
2:30
the movie Greats Silent Screen Vintage. That is at least a dozen of the
2:34
more of MAVs Gale, a real queen in her day. Yeah, the
2:37
vamp time. I know. Oh it's just a vague recollection, you understand.
2:40
Yeah. Well. The police also reported that somebody the killer probably had
2:45
drawn a big question mark in red crayon over each of Mavis Gale's photographs.
2:49
Interesting if it means anything we think it does, Johnny, especially since Mavis
2:53
Gale is named as the beneficiary and Bernard Slade's insurance policy Tonight and every Weekday
3:06
Night. Bob Bailey in the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed
3:09
expens a cout America's Fabulous freelance insurance Investigators, Truly Johnny Dollar. Expense account
3:30
submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to State Unity Life Home Office, Hartford,
3:35
Connecticut. Following is an account of expenses incurage during my investigation of the Silent
3:38
Queen Matter. Expense account out of won two hundred and ten dollars and sixty
3:46
five cents playing Cave Aran incidentals to Ocean Park, California. As soon as
3:51
I checked into my hotel, I got in touch with homicide Sergeant McKay.
3:54
They said would probably be down at the pier. I saved your care far
3:58
on this one. Vic. It was a beautiful moonlit night at the beach.
4:01
A warm breeze was blowing in from the Pacific. Hemy signs was only
4:04
a three minute walk from my hotel to the fund zone. A gaudy array
4:10
of neon and noise, an occasional whiff of salt air seeping through the aromatic
4:15
blend of fried shrimp, hamburgers and popcorn. Business was good and the penny
4:18
arcade had a sheriff. I headed straight to the blonde sitting in the chain
4:23
boots. She looked tired and faded. Hi, we have a dins worth
4:27
of pennies. Were you hear real plunge? Your oh money means nothing to
4:30
me? Well here you are? Don't spend them all in one place?
4:34
Well, you know, I might at that. This machine here looks qaly
4:38
interesting. Lola the farmer's daughter, Oh, it's kind of racing. How's
4:43
your blood pressure? And try uh that row along the wall over there?
4:47
I wouldn't do howckily carry on a conversation if I was on the other side
4:50
of the room. Who wants conversation? I do? You don't look like
4:56
the lonely type. Never can't tell all ken you lock? You run along
5:00
while I finished stack in these pennies. Huh nah, Seriously, all I
5:03
want is a few answers. Well I got more than a few. Honey,
5:06
what's on your mind? Bernie slave? What about Bernie? You work
5:13
for him a long? Who wants to know? My name is Dollar,
5:15
Johnny Dollar. I'm an insurance investigator here. Oh, I'd appreciate any information
5:20
you can give me. Hey, your company dropped a bundle on Barnie.
5:24
Huh, well that remains to be seen. Oh, Bonnie was a nice
5:28
guy, nice as they come. What do you want to know, We'll
5:31
just start anywhere. You want to know about his friends, or maybe after
5:35
what happened to him, you'd better tell me about his enemies. He didn't
5:39
have none, not one. Uh. Must have been quite a fellow,
5:43
he was, mister Okay, let's get back to his friends. Then just
5:46
about everybody along the pier, and he won in particular. Oh Frank jessp
5:51
for one, runs a concession just down the way. Go on. Uh,
5:56
Sam Hegstrom owns a fishing boat. Then there's Gas Kanakos r. Of
6:00
Ghostein. Like I said, Barney had a lot of prentis, including you,
6:05
including me. How about Mavis Gail? I don't know the day well
6:11
she she used to be in the movies The Silent Car. Oh. I
6:15
heard about her, only I never met her. Didn't she ever come around?
6:17
I never saw her? Did Barnie ever talk about her? Not to
6:20
me? Didn't? Why? Why? What? Why should Barney talk about
6:27
Mavis Gail? Oh? I just thought he might have mentioned it sometime or
6:30
other. Uh, Is that the door to Barney's apartment back there? Yeah,
6:35
that's right. Why if I have a look around, that'd be up
6:39
to Sachian McKay. Well, look, if he comes in, tell him
6:41
where am Will you tell him yourself? He's back there in Barney's apartment.
6:45
Now. I walked on back and took note of the heavy padlock dangling open
6:51
on the door. Leaning in the Barney Slave's apartment, the small living room
6:58
was empty, yet it was crowded too, crowded with memories of the son
7:02
of greats a Zimova, Valentino, Pickford and Fairbanks, Me and Swanson,
7:09
the Gish girls, lawn chaining, all dozens more. They're photographs filling practically
7:15
every inch of wall space. Mava scale was there, too, a big
7:17
question mark in red grand drawn over each of the photos. I moved through
7:21
a narrow kitchen. The back door was wide open. I stepped outside.
7:28
Who are you, oh, Johnny Dollar, You must be Sergeant McKay.
7:31
That's right, Yeah, You're office said you'd be here browsing around, So
7:34
I'm browsing. There's something bothering you, Sergeant Murder always bothers me. Yeah,
7:41
what you mean? Like those photos in there, maybe scale and the
7:45
question marks on all of them, and that bothers me. Do you think
7:48
the killer did it? Could be let's go back inside run or maybe Barney,
7:58
huh what I'm talking about? The question marks could be pictures belonged to
8:03
him. Yeah, yeah, he had quite a gallery here. Looks to
8:09
me though, that summer missing. That's so? Why you know? So?
8:13
Sergint The wallpaper isn't faded as badly where they used to be, and
8:18
there are a lot of tack marks too. Okay, So who took him
8:20
down? Bonnie? He could have soaked the killer, that's right. Have
8:26
you found anybody who could tell you anything about him? I'm missing photographs?
8:28
Not yet, Hey, Barty, keep a lot of money in here.
8:33
Twiler didn't see anything, so Twilt James Blond out front of the change booth.
8:37
Oh yeah, Barnie was sort of particular about his apartment. Never let
8:41
anybody in as far as she knows. Not even his friends want to why.
8:45
According to Twilt, he seldom used the arcade entrance, preferred to use
8:48
the back door. Is that the one the killer used is standing wide open
8:52
when the body was found, well, who found it? By the way,
8:54
Twiler. When she showed up for work yesterday, the arcade was closed
8:58
up, so she went around back. You know. So when Barney was
9:00
killed, Doc figures around three am, two slugs from a thirty eight one
9:05
would have been enough. Any signs of a struggle, Yeah, lamp over
9:09
there was on the floor, that chair was turned over, and this table
9:11
had been upset, pipe's medicine, bottles, pillboxes scattered around. Huh.
9:18
Heavy bolt and chain on the inside of both doors. Barney didn't have to
9:22
let a visitor in unless he wanted to, that's right. Of course,
9:26
he could have run into the killer outside somewhere. I'm sure he could,
9:30
only you don't think so unless Barney was in the habit of walking in his
9:33
sleep. Uh. When we came in and found Barney was in pajamas and
9:37
bathroom. The wall bed over there had been pulled out, was mussed up,
9:39
so it figures he was probably asleep when the killer tapped on his door.
9:45
He got up and let him in. Yet, according to Twilet,
9:48
the place was off limits even to his friends. But she wasn't around all
9:52
the time and didn't know all his friends. He found some others. I'd
9:54
like to find one of them, in particular, a man Barney referred to
9:58
as the preacher, just the preacher, no name, no, at least
10:03
Sam Hextrom couldn't remember. And this preacher was he allowed into Barney's inner sanctum.
10:09
Sam's pretty sure he saw the two of them come out the back door
10:11
one night a little more than a week ago. Other times he spotted them
10:15
taking a late evening stroll along the ocean front walk. M Did Sam ever
10:20
talk with his preacher? No, but he got curious after a while asked
10:24
Barney about it. Barney said, the man was a very old and dear
10:28
friend. Let it go at that, And you haven't been able to find
10:31
out anything more about him. Uh, I'm still checking. Wow, I
10:35
would sure be a break if you could to locate this preacher. He might
10:39
be able to tell us something about those missing photographs. What they were might
10:43
also explain why the killer took him. Have you seen enough in here?
10:48
Dollar? Oh? Yeah, sure, I guess that's said. Hey,
10:52
tell me what does maybe Scale have to say about all this? I only
10:54
got to talk with her just a couple hours ago, when she returned from
10:58
Palm Springs. She was pretty upset when I told her about the crayon marks
11:01
and her photographs. But naturally she couldn't offer any explanation none. How does
11:07
she react to the news of Slade's death, tears and such. She's supposed
11:11
to weep about it? Why not? Bonnie Slade must have been a pretty
11:15
good friend of hers. After all, he named her as the beneficiary and
11:18
his insurance policy. Oh that's interesting. Why when I talked with Mavis Gale
11:26
she told me she never heard of Barney's Slade expense account. Adam two and
11:31
three one dollar and ten cents phone call on Campfare the calls to Navis Gale's
11:37
home in bel Air. The butler said, if it was important, I
11:41
could find her at McCartney's mortuary in Venice. Camp Fair to Venice via what
11:45
is lamping They called the speedway, one way alley lined with backyards and garbage
11:48
cans. It took us less than a minute to cross over into Venice,
11:52
a boom that had busted. I've been uncoling mixture of all broken down buildings
11:56
in the sound of the sea, crumbling bridges, mosque canals, of paved
12:01
streets, wandering disconsolately into sand dunes, and ending where the money a dream
12:07
that had kind of died of a broken heart. Good evening, sir,
12:13
Oh we're not Slade. Please, Yes, mister Slade is in the slumber
12:18
room at the end of the hall. Is anyone with him? Oh?
12:22
Indeed quite a number of his friends. Would you know maybus Gale if you
12:26
saw her the silent green style? Indeed, I would, at least I
12:31
think I would. She was one of my favorites. She hasn't shown yet.
12:37
No, I you mean she's expected, so I understand where. Well
12:46
that's nice. Oh, that is nice. I didn't know she was a
12:50
friend of mister Slade's. Oh you know most of Barney's friends. I know
12:56
most of the people along the pier, and they were all his friends.
13:00
Well, how about one called the preacher? The preacher naturally, I'm very
13:05
well acquainted with many men of the cloth. And if you could tell me
13:09
his knee, I don't know. Look, you have a visitor's register here,
13:13
don't you in each of the slumber rooms. Yes, just inside the
13:18
door. Thanks. Where did you say mister Snide was down the hall?
13:22
Last room on the leaves. The room was crowded with friends who'd come to
13:37
pay their respects to be not slave. I eased over to the visitors register
13:41
and gave it a fast rundown. There was nothing to indicate that a minister
13:45
was among the mourners present. Then I heard the hall door creak open.
13:50
There she was maybe a scale, certainly not at all what I expected a
13:54
vamp of the silent screen to look like thirty years later, Slender, trim
13:58
and am he tailored suit and even more attractive than the photographs had seen of
14:03
her in Barney's apartment. She moved down the center aisle to the casket and
14:07
stood there for a moment. As I walked toward her, she suddenly turned
14:11
her eyes wide and staring, her lips moving sanity. Then she crumbled to
14:16
the floor. I understand you've been trying to reach me. Dollar. That's
14:26
right, sergeant, Okay, what's up? I got some news for you,
14:30
Sergeant. Mavis Gale was once married to a small time movie actor named
14:33
Tom Sandford. Seems he was murdered during a honey trip in the Sierra some
14:37
twenty seven years ago. So Mayvis Gale just identified Barney Slade as Tom Sandford.
14:43
What same man, Sergeant. She's still at the mortuary. Yeah,
14:46
the manager's office I'll be over him five minutes, ride him four ten cents
14:56
a cup of black coffee from Mayvis Gail, queen of the Silent Flickers.
15:01
While she drank it, I elbowed my way past. Barney. Slade's friends
15:03
gathered in the hall just outside the mortuary office and walked out through the street
15:09
to do a little quiet thinking I didn't have time. Excuse me, mister
15:13
dollar. Oh is it a fact about Mavis Gail? I mean she was
15:20
Barney's wife. Why don't you pick that up? Well, mort thought he
15:22
heard her say so mart a manager of the funeral partner, you were in
15:26
his office, helped carry miss Gaile. There is it a fact, mister
15:31
dollar? How do you know my name? I was gabbing with Twyler earlier
15:35
tonight. She's the girl at the change desk in the penny arcade. Then
15:39
I seen you in Sargeant McKay come out of Barney's apartment. Who are you,
15:43
Frank Jessip? I run the mermaid bit over on the pierod you know,
15:48
three baseballs for a quarter and you tried to dun to Don in the
15:50
water tank. Yeah, I figure mort heard right that Mavis Gail used to
15:56
be Barney's wife. Violence What the lady said, how do you like that
16:03
old Barney married all this time? And that Mavis gay old time movie star,
16:08
never breath the word of it to any of us. Sure can't get
16:12
over it, and him being a picture player in the old days too.
16:17
Do you recall ever seeing her around the arcade, mister jessep Nope. I
16:21
think I would have recognized it tonight when she came in the mortuary, A
16:25
real handsome woman. Can you think of anyone Barney might have told about his
16:29
past? I don't think any of his friends knew mister Dollar, including Twilat
16:33
James w Yes. That has she been with him long? Close to five
16:37
years? What are you driving at, mister dollar? Barney was still a
16:41
pretty good looking guy. She liked him a lot. Advice versa. Barney
16:47
never talked it over with me. What did he talk about? O?
16:49
Fishing mostly and pe nuckle. He was crazy about pe knuckle. Best I
16:56
ever played with you playoff average couple times a week and Barney's apartment. Barney
17:00
was kind of funny about that. None of us ever set foot in his
17:03
place. Most of the time we played over at my bungle over on Sam's
17:08
boat. I see say you being an insurance investigator, and all I was
17:14
wondering was Mavis Gale. Excuse me, mister jessup, there's Sergeant McKay.
17:19
You said five minutes, sergeant, you made it to three. She's still
17:23
in their dollar. Yeah. Nice turn out of Barnie's friends. Only they're
17:26
all out in the hole. Well, things got sort of frantic when Mavis
17:30
took her nose down. I wanted to find out why did they? Mart
17:34
knows it around seeing the office with her, had a chauffeur. His name
17:37
is Ronald. I'll send them both out. I want to talk to Mavis
17:41
Gale alone. I don't think you get much out of her. She really
17:44
fell apart at the scenes. As it turned out, I was right at
17:49
least about McKay not getting much out of Mavis Gale. She came out of
17:52
the office a minute or soul later, with McKay and the chauffeur on either
17:56
side, and I went along with the mourners into the street. They helped
18:00
her inside the big blue Cadillac and she slumped down as far as she could
18:03
get in the back seat, covered her face with a handkerchief. Then she
18:06
was gone, okay, you people, break it up. You came here
18:10
to see Barnie. Remember, sergeant, what is a dollar? But you
18:15
happen to remember maybe Scale from the old days when she was a star?
18:18
I mean, yeah, yeah, I guess. So why was she a
18:21
pretty good actress? I'd say she was? Do you think she's still is?
18:26
If you referring to that fainting spell? Dollar, you tell me you
18:30
saw it and look pretty genuine. So I just wondered, as all,
18:34
just wondering. Expenser cont Items five and six, four dollars sixty cents.
18:45
One morning newspaper in camfair to made a Scale's bell Air home. Now that
18:49
Bonnie Slade had been identified as Tom Sanford, husband of the old time movie
18:55
Queen, The affair was splatted all over the front pages. There was also
18:59
a complete account of twenty seven year old murder case in which the same Tom
19:02
Sandford had presumably been killed with a shotgun blast during a hunting trip. The
19:07
big white gates of the ex movie Queen's of State were locked when I got
19:10
there, but there was a phone close by. I picked it up,
19:14
leaned on the buzzer, no answer. Nothing. When I saw the car
19:18
coming down the drive. I recognized Sergeant McKay at the wheel one dollars.
19:25
Hi, you have a special pass to this place. If you're figuring on
19:29
having to talk with Mavis Gay, you better put it off Doctor's orders.
19:32
Still suffering from shock, Tom, Yeah, and I figure she's leveling.
19:36
Hmmm. According to the newspaper, she and Tom had a pretty stormy time
19:40
of it during their brief marriage. She was a star and he wasn't.
19:44
Maybe that had something to do with it. She was also pretty popular in
19:47
the film Colony. Oh. Tom had a few buddies too, at least
19:51
four the men who went on that hunting trip with him. The case was
19:53
investigated pretty thoroughly. They came out of it clean. You know, it'd
19:57
be interesting to find out who wanted Tom sand dead, though, wouldn't it.
20:00
The fellow hunter got his face blown off by a shotgun blast one at
20:03
Sandford dead, only apparently Sandford beat him to the draw, right. Do
20:07
you think somebody might have hired that would be killer who instead became the victim?
20:11
What are you getting at? So the person who did the hiring thought
20:15
the mission accomplished, but then recently learned that Tom Sandford was still alive.
20:18
Posing as Barney Slade. You really have an imagination, So this time he
20:25
does the job himself or herself. It's possible. Look, I know,
20:27
Mayvis Gail Stance to collect twenty five thousand insurance unless, oh sure, unless
20:32
you can hang it on her two attempts on Hobbie Tom Sandford. I'm not
20:36
trying to hang this on anybody, Sergeant. The insurance company hired me to
20:38
turn in a report and they'll pay off according to that report. I just
20:41
want to be sure that's okay. Relax if you're going back to the beach,
20:47
get in. Oh thanks. Why do you think he did it?
20:56
Sergeant? Why do I think who did what? Sandford? Twenty seven years
21:03
ago on a hunting trip. Why do you suppose he planted his identification and
21:07
clothing on the man who tried to kill him and vanished. Who knows?
21:11
Maybe he was in a gem like the idea of letting the world believe he
21:15
was dead. And how about those question marks on Mavis Gail's photographs, Attie
21:19
in there, Maybe we've been through that. Barney could have made those marks
21:23
himself. Well, and here's the thought, Barney or Sandford, whichever you
21:27
want to call him, might have wondered, could his wife have hired the
21:32
killer? And is that why he drew those question marks? I thought you
21:37
decided the killer drew them all right? Assume the killer drew them? Why
21:41
you tell me? While I would certainly attract attention to Mavis Gail, wouldn't
21:45
it an the eliminator is a possible suspect as far as Barney Slade's death is
21:48
concerned. Yes, you're really determined to go after this woman, aren't you?
21:52
Look McKee? I told you all? Kay, okay? Assuming the
21:56
killer drew those question marks to direct attention to Mavis Gale, why would he
22:00
want to do that? I can make a guess, can't you. Yeah?
22:07
It could be blackmail? But why wait all these years for the simple
22:11
reason he just picked up a little information recently. Maybe he got it from
22:15
one of the men who were on that hunting trip. I think they're still
22:18
around. Expense account at him seven ten dollars and fifty cents cave Fair and
22:26
tips. It took me that long to find Milo Martin, actor's agent,
22:30
one of the men who had been on that hunting trip twenty seven years ago.
22:33
He operated out of a plush suite of offices on the Sunset Strip.
22:37
He wasn't in, but his secretary of friendly and eca little doll named Lena,
22:41
gave me a list of places where I might find him. I finally
22:44
did out in a ranch near Chatsworth where a movie company was filming an epic
22:52
yep oh Western, what else? Milon Martin was shortened around. He wore
22:57
cowboy bootstunguery, he's no shirt. He was sitting in a wide flat rock
23:02
setting himself. Oh yes, mister Dollar. I read about it in the
23:06
morning paper. It came as a tremendous shot. Tom alive all these years,
23:11
It's incredible. So well, according to the newspaper accounts, you were
23:14
the one who first discovered the body that day twenty seven years ago. A
23:17
horrible experience, terrifying and never forget it. We had been searching the hills
23:21
all night, and then in the cold gray of dawn, there he was
23:23
in the ravine Tom. Only it was in Tom. But the police are
23:27
certain, I mean to say, the scale positively identified the man known as
23:32
Barney Slade to be Tom Sander running a penny arcade in Ocean Park. It's
23:36
incredible. Well, then, who was the man I found? In that
23:37
ravine. We don't know, we may never know. And he wanted to
23:41
kill Tom. But why you have no idea why anyone would have wanted to
23:45
do away with me? Of course not. Oh I knew Tom was a
23:48
wild sort. He never got along with most people. But well to resort
23:52
to murder. You were his agent, weren't you, mister Markin. Yes,
23:53
yes I was, I must confess. I only took him on as
23:56
a client of police mapers. Oh you also represented his scale, I did.
24:00
She was, she still is a truly wonderful person. With the Dollar,
24:04
I understand the two of them weren't getting along too. Oh, that
24:07
would be putting it mildly, mister Dollar. Was one frightful rah after another,
24:11
wild hysterical sort of raw. What did they quarrel above it? Well?
24:15
Tom was quite a gamble, and he also drank rather heavily. And
24:18
he also fancied himself as quite a lady's man, and this made her sore.
24:22
And he was also extremely jealous. Oh, Mayvius ever give him good
24:26
cause to be No, of course not. Oh, he was always imagining
24:30
all sorts of fantastic things about her. Actually, she was very much in
24:33
love with him. That was my impression. At least tell me, mister
24:37
Martin. Those other men who were on the Honey Trever are they still around?
24:41
Well? Let me see. No, there's Trev for one. Trev.
24:45
That's Francis Trevellian used to be Miss Gale's cameraman, independent producer. Now
24:48
his pictures aren't very good, but they make money. How about this Jervis
24:52
pocket Jarv Let me think no, oh, excuse me? Are you ready?
24:57
Doll? I'll okay, that's all the director, he's a friend.
25:02
Look about you like stage coaches, mister Dollar'm I gonna take him. I'm
25:04
leading. Look what long they're finished up here? We'll ride the coach back
25:08
to the ranch house. It's only a few miles, maybe five. And
25:11
this is control. You love it all right? Not here? Get the
25:15
boy, mister dollar. Brother, it's not true, Rummy is it?
25:21
Okay? Doll? Got a doll? How do you like it? Mister
25:26
Dollar? I know how John Wayne feels. Let me see now you you
25:32
were at about nervious market and faster doll expense account? Ida mat anyone?
25:56
Since one bottle of rubbing alcohol there was late that afternoon when I got back
26:00
to my hotel. But before I could use the alcohol and my aching bones
26:03
to pune rang Johnny Dollar. McKay, here this time I got news for
26:11
you. Dollar. You ought to be real pleash. When did I sit
26:12
down? I'm second thought, Maybe I won't. Okay, sorry, let's
26:18
have it. Maybe is Gail said she didn't know her husband was alive all
26:21
these years, that he was using the name Barney Slade running that arcade,
26:25
Notion Park. So maybe she didn't tell us the truth. What do you
26:29
mean? We got a witness, Dollar, someone who saw Maybis Gale hanging
26:32
around the Penny Arcade two nights before the murder. Now here's our star to
26:51
tell you about tomorrow's episode of this week's story. Tomorrow a bowl of little
26:55
soup and I almost wind up in a cemetery. Join us, won't your
26:59
true? Johnny Dollar? Yours Truly Johnny Dollars starrying Bob Bailey is transcribed in
27:11
Hollywood, written by Adrian John Doeau. It is produced and directed by Jack
27:17
Johnstone. Be sure to join us tomorrow night, same time and station for
27:21
the next exciting episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Roy Rowan speaking welcome
28:26
back. Well once again we hear the Golden Age's radio's nostalgia for the era
28:37
of silent films, but working into a pretty interesting plant. There's a lot
28:41
that can be done here, and of course we have three more parts to
28:45
explore it in, so I look forward to that. Now. I do
28:48
have a little bit of a note for those of you who are who have
28:52
signed up for a page on Facebook. Now some of you may have just
28:59
hit the lock button on Facebook, but for many it's a great opportunity to
29:07
be able to see our shows, to be able to if you have an
29:11
episode that you hear that you really enjoy, to be able to share it
29:18
with your friends by clicking the share button. Facebook has made some changes to
29:23
the way its pages work, and if you merely like a page, that
29:29
does not mean you will get updates on it. And so if you would
29:34
like to receive updates on what we're doing, I would encourage you to go
29:40
into to go to Facebook dot com slash Radio Detectives and where you see the
29:47
checkbox marked like choose get notifications, and that way you can actually see what
29:55
we're writing. And this is somewhat frustrating change for a lot of those of
30:00
us who have Facebook pages and I kind of understand a lot of what went
30:06
into some of the changes behind it, but a bunch of the if you
30:11
don't click the like botton without going to visit the page. Now, the
30:17
only way that people who own Facebook pages that you'd like to follow can actually
30:22
communicate with you is by paying for ads, which kind of seems a bit
30:26
backwards, But just click that you get notifications link if you would like to
30:32
receive that. Now onto a listener comment on Johnny Dollar. This is actually
30:37
a review of the Johnny Dollar feed and they say I've really enjoyed this,
30:45
and I think we've definitely gotten that message that folks have enjoyed these serials.
30:48
We had a few bumps at the beginning, but this has been some of
30:52
the best fifty eight weeks of radio that we have ever experience, and it's
31:00
just been so fun to bring it to you. And then I have a
31:04
comment from Michael who says, Adam, as always, I love your show.
31:10
I'm blown away at how good the latest Johnny to All Oar episodes have
31:12
been. I really like Bob Bailey in this It's very good. It seems
31:15
to fit him better than let George do it. Anyway. I also wanted
31:18
to tell you I'm a big fan of Rocky Jordan. It falls in the
31:22
realm of detective stories about people who aren't detectives. It always has some great
31:26
foreign intrigue. I spent a year in Istanbul when I was younger, and
31:30
it sometimes, in small ways, reminds me of those times. I hope
31:33
you consider having it in your lineup. I've enjoyed listening to it at the
31:37
times i've heard it. It has my vote. Again, thanks for what
31:41
you do. It's the best program of its kind online. Well, thanks
31:44
so much, Michael, and definitely have Rocky Jordan on our list. And
31:48
that seems to be a one that people have been asking for recently, and
31:53
it seemed like we go through phases with this. I remember when we first
31:57
started the show had a lot of peace people requesting a Casey crime photographer and
32:02
that kind of subsided Richard Diamond has been pretty consistent, and as I mentioned,
32:07
we're going to get to that one in just a couple of years now.
32:10
All right, Well, coming up tomorrow we begin our second run through
32:16
of Pat Novak for Hire, and next Monday, be sure and listen for
32:22
Manhunt, and in two weeks pursuit should say in three weeks pursuit. In
32:29
the meantime, send your comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectives dot net and
32:32
follow us on Twitter or Radio Detectives But from Boise, Otaho, this is
32:37
