February eighth, nineteen fifty four, here is the Case of
the Wandering Why.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And now we invite you to listen to the Adventures
of the Falcon. Mike Wearings All is the case of
the Wondering Wife. There's one thing you learned working as
a private detective. You keep your eyes open, you're bound
to reach your goal. In case in point, I give
(02:04):
you Larry Parker. Larry is the rugged looking boy making
his way down the fourth floor carridor of the Harris
Building right now. He's looking for trouble. When he stops
in front of room four nineteen. The odds are twenty
to one they'll find him. Done.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, I'm looking to find Pulaski.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, if you don't find him, it ain't because you
don't try to write places you polaskis right. I'm Larry Barker,
the bookie, and I think we have to go into that. Well,
whatever you says the baccus, can I do it for it?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
It remains to be seen.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Someone told me you were one of the best private
detectives around. Well, naturally, I ain't gonn it, deny it,
and I will soon find out. Head over with this
picture that happens to be my wife, I see if
it's better, And I don't like those kind of jolkes.
PULASKI sorry, I think you can watch it for me. Well,
I don't know why not. The first name is Shila Siler. Yeah,
(02:58):
I want to follow up day and night. I want
to know where everyone she sees, but everyone? Can you
handle it? Well, let's see if we understand each other
with the paka. You suspect your wife's running a rock?
Did I say that? Why else would you want to
take a table? None of your business?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Now, either you want the.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Job or you don't. Well, it's going to run into
a lot of dolls. So how about an advent?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Now, Guys, for a job like this, i'll have to
put on too extra men.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I don't care how many you put on in my business.
I only play off on results.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Well, I don't do business that way.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I do well.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
In that case, we're both wasting time. You got to
find yourself another boy. I got to find myself another client.
Let's hope we both don't have to look. Can I
help you, honey? Doxy? You don't seem to be having
(03:48):
much luck? Maybe I'll do better calling a car Now,
wait a minute, baby, I ain't trying to pick you up.
I mean it missus barker, goody? How did you know
my name? You know you'd be surprised what I know
about you. Maybe you'd like to look at my cut. Thanks,
Pulaski private investigation. You're happy he was in the scene yesterday, Larry,
(04:10):
what did he want? Well, no, this ain't no place
to talk. I am. I got a brand new nash
around the corner, and you can say anything you've got
to right here. Well, it's kind of embarrassing, Shila. I
don't like to be seen taking money from a woman
in a public thoroughfare. What are you talking about? Well, naturally,
you can't expect me to divulge this kind of information
for free. You're absolutely right, mister Pulaski. So you keep
(04:34):
your information and I'll keep my money. I wait a minute,
I'm not interested. Well, let's really concern to you.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
I doubt it that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It looks like I ain't going to make a buck
from the bark of family. No. How, but I like
you better than I do your husband. I mean, if
I were us, Shila, i'd watch my step. Larry's checking
up on you. What do you mean? Just what I said?
As a matter of fact, I did a little checking
on you myself. Why, as far as I can learn,
(05:02):
you never want step out of line. So what's the
matter with that husband of yours? Anyway?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
He must be out of his mind.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You may be right.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Well, if I was you and he, I'd never put
up with it.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Thank you for your advice, mister Bilesky. I'll let you
know if I take it. God's a second, I said,
just a second, that's the big idea. Oh hello, you
(05:33):
must be like weary. Well, if you're looking, if I
might be a fooler than I had, come on in angel,
the name is Barker, Missus Barker. I don't like to
be former with my clients. And what makes you think
I'm going to be a client. I mean this is
a social call. Well that's even better now, thank you,
sig right, No thanks, drink, I make a great smoon
(05:56):
off martini. What oka you know? Well, if you don't
mind just to wearing, I'd like to get right down
to business. All you pretty women are like, okay, shelter,
maybe you want me to start looking? When do I
want you to start looking? Well, why don't you want
evidence for a divorce? How did you know that? Well
you announced yourself as missus Barker, and then I took
(06:17):
a look at your left hand. That little white ring
of flesh told me you were wearing a wedding band.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Until a couple of hours ago.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's pretty obvious. Always is after someone points it out.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
What your husband do.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
He's a betting commissioner. You wouldn't be married to Larry Parker. Yes,
now what's that supposed to me? Oh, I'm impressed. I
hope you do as.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Well on your next marriage.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
There's not going to be a next marriage. I just
want a divorce. I don't even want alan. Honest, Why
have you ever been married to a jealous man? And
not recently? I'm not planning to wearing Sorry. Larry and
I were married.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Six years ago, and ever since the first day, he
suspected the worst.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Does he have a reason? No, you know, I believe you.
Thank you. But if Larry had no cause to be jealous,
why is he? I don't know, and I don't care.
He's killed everything I ever felt for him. He even
tried to hire a private detective to keep tabs on me,
fool man named Frank Pulaski. That was a phonal straw.
(07:16):
I don't blame you, all right, angel, I'll let you
know when I come up with something and I love see, Yeah,
I can I help you? Well, he's very busy. He
(07:39):
can't be that busy.
Speaker 6 (07:46):

to speak to you personally. His name is Alfonnachi.

Glad to see your mister Barker. I want you got plenty.
I told you my outfit delivers the goods. Lucky you
didn't get yourself tied up with the Frank PULASKI. What's
the story? Just what you thought? Your wife's been seeing
some guy on the slide and I knew it. I
know it. She spent practically the whole afternoon, and mis said,
who is he? Mike wearing the falcon yep? And you
(08:24):

two together, all right, fin actually beat it?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I'm look, mister Barker, somehow I don't just trust me?
Well out deal, that's why that's your wife Joyce show
him up. Never mind, I can find my own wife.
What happened? Nothing? That wasn't the imperson I got listening
at the car. So you were heaves dropping. I think
(08:53):
that'sould be ashamed of myself.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I got a good mind.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
There you have mar find the one bad you're thinking
nine years I would have gotten smarter.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Are you battling about?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Just reminisce going on your own time?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Don't have any tune on my own every minutes? Long
to you?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Remember you're gonna start that again.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Yes, I'm entitled to know where I stand. I've been
telling me long enough. Nine years, nine long years. I
don't know you've got grounds for divorce. I heard what
karainat she said. She has been running around with them,
mic Wearing.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You didn't actually think I was going to marry you? Yes,
I do, you stupid little fool. I share is what
I'm million like you. She's no better than I am. Swearing.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You keep your mouth shut. You understand. Don't you dare
to say? What about her?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I hope mister Wearing is his gallant.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Don't give it up, thought Joyce. He won't talk. I'll
see to that personally. It's about time, Wearing.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
How did you get in here? What difference does it make?
Shut the door? I take it that gun is loaded.
What do you think I think I better shut the door.
I understand you and my wife had a nice little
talk today. Oh you must be Larry Barker.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Do you guess?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, I'm real clever. I one, have you been carrying
on with Sheila? How long have I watch you? Mean? Yeah?
But I'm sure I misunderstood you think your wife and me. Yes,
you've got a real nasty mind. Listen, youell me something, Barker?
How do you get like that? The way I say it?
Either you once took a beating from some woman. Nobody
puts anything around me? And I got another theory. You
must be playing around yourself. Sure, that's it. So because
you can't be trusted, you don't believe anybody else? Can
(10:40):
I guess that means I'm right? Huh? You're going to
stay away from Sheila?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Do you understand?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Who's gonna make me me? Come on, Mike and then
to rise and shine? Now you're gonna lait there and
pamper yourself. Who's that? Just open those big brown eyes
(11:09):
and look it would be Sergeant Corbett.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
You're giving odds?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
What are you doing here? No, that's no way to
talk to a man. To save your life? Who saved
my life? Help me up? But if I were you, kiddoh,
I'd stay right there they save another trip down. Who
did this job on? You? Remnved?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Was Larry Barker?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Went? Then, how did you know?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I'm psychic?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
And how about Barker? I'll take care of him. A
couple of boys down at the headquarters think you did already? What? Yeah,
they found his body twenty minutes ago with three splugs
in his brain. Oh no, oh, yes, and you'll die
when you hear who.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
They think put him there?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Oh you want to put your head on and when
you go like that. In a moment, we'll return to
the adventures of the Falcon. But first and now back
(12:15):
to the Adventures of the Falcon. It just goes to
prove you should never sleep in the daytime.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Here Larry Barker tucked.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Me in When I awoke, a police sergeant, I mean
Sidney Corbett was standing over me. I didn't make up
my mind. Which was more frightening Corbett's news or his face.
What's the matter, Mike, you look unhappy.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Let me get this straight, sergeant.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You got it straight. Barry Barker's been murdered. Did you
think it's a possibility you had to run in with
him when you found me? I was unconscious? How do
I know you weren't fake? Oh's me? What did he
getting excited for? I said it was a possibility, the probability.
There's something else again, What was your trouble with bark
He had some screwy eye. I was horsing around with
(13:01):
his wife. Were you No, you're slipping? That ain't the
mic wearing I know in love, Sheila came to me
to get her evidence for a divorce. Why you got
another guy on the string? Oh, she just couldn't stomach
Larry anymore. He was crazy jealous. Well, because there's problems
over now. Well, I hate to disagree with you, but
I think her problems are just beginning. I don't see
how you're not looking in the right places.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
You say Barker was crazy jealous.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
He would have thought a divorce all so she took
the other way of getting rid of him. You're nuts, Well,
I would have bet you would say that. Whenever you're
stuck for an an, I'll tell you she didn't kill him. Sergeant,
Why don't you scot around and find out who else
had it in for Barker? You have any suggestion, Yes,
Larry was playing around on the side. He practically admitted
it to me. That's why he was ready to believe
the worst of Sheila to justify himself. Well assuming, now, Mark, you,
(13:48):
I say, assuming there was another woman? So what we'll
know that when you find her. You mean, when you
find her you expect that. Huh?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Done my part? I found Sheila.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
You get your own girls?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
There? Who's there? Josh got your nurse? Yes, that's what
they all say. Now looking at I don't know who
you are. But if you don't get out of here,
don't call a copy. My number is State four nine
nine seven. Oh what are you waiting for it? Why
(14:34):
Pulaski is My name is Frank Pulaski. I'm a private dick,
you know, like the falcon. Well, why don't I sit down? Ah,
it's too bad about your boss, my boss, Larry Barker.
Someone done him in. You're lying, let me think. So
take a look at this headline.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
You kill the east Side apartment in its darker better known.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Oh no, you need a drink? I do? Do you mind?
Is this why you came here?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Well not exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No time you see the cops think his wife noted them. Well,
she seemed like the best bet. Of course, you and
I know better. You mean, Well, Barker came to my
office yesterday to hire me to keep tabs on his missus.
That's why I hired ALPHARANATCHI sure, but that was only
(15:28):
after I turned him down. You know, he was a
tough man to get a buck out of. You'd think
his wife would be more generous. Well, I thought she
at least would let me have a hundreds of tipping
her off on what was going on. But no, So
then I thought, of you, I don't understand. Well, now
I'm a student of human nature. You can't believe how
low people are. Yeah, well, I wondered why a guy
(15:50):
like bark could be watching his missus when she never
once made off the reservation. And then it occurred to
me maybe he liked to put on the work paint himself.
I wouldn't know, you kidding, who'd know? You?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Get out?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Oh, you don't want to take that attitude, sweet, Like
I said, this is only a theory. Now the five
hundred plans, I'd be willing to forget it out. Well,
if I do, I'll go straight to Mike wearing. I
don't care where you go. But you can't say later
I didn't give you a chance, I will get your
ten wearing. I'll be willing to take it. Yeah, Hi, Warring,
(16:33):
Do I know you no, but think of what you've
been listening. I'm willing to pass it up or you'll
be making a great mistake. You're working for Shila Barker,
ain't you well? Well, how would you like to get
her off? Maybe you better come in. I don't believe
you mentioned your name. I don't believe I did. It's Pulaski,
Frank Pulaski. Oh, I don't tell me. You heard of it.
Only this afternoon. Chetera Barker told me you were working
(16:55):
for her husband. Oh, she's got the story twisted. He
wanted me to go to work, but.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
I couldn't see it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We couldn't get together on the feet. That's tough, but
it's tougher than you think. Imagine me sitting here with
everything I know, and what do you know?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Well?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Is it worth five hundred fish in my day?
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Well?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Suppose I told you that Barca was playing around. I
figured that out for myself. Yeah, but I know her name.
Wouldn't you pay off? Well? You much embraced her first.
You know you're pretty cute. How about you say that
to all the boys. Who's the girl to see the
color of your don't come on, Pilaski, who's the girl?
Let me go? I asked you something. Don't you better
(17:34):
do that again? You're better pay for that. I put
it on my bill and I want her name? Well,
joy Joyce Cream, where can I find it at the
com start? Thanks a lot, Pilaski, You've been a great help.
That's okay, worry the pleasure is all mine. You'll be
surprised what I do for you in the future. Hello,
(18:06):
but having a selling inst how do you know if
you see my line I'll take you can't afford. Dude, Joyce,
you being just a little bit familiar? I do you
think I'm obnoxious? Now? Way? Do you know me better?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
My name is Mike Wearing all right for you? You're
not impressed, have no idea. You can say everything you
want right there, everything, But you're not fooling me. I
know the last he's been to see you.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I kind of hoped to be as surprised now he
announced his intention as he left. I see and I
see something else. Dollie Barker was right. You wouldn't have
made him a good wife. You're much too possessive, no
careful and maybe kiddies with me. But you are possessive.
You proved it when you killed him. Get out. You're
forgetting angel. I am out. You never invited me in,
(18:51):
mister big mouth had a going reminder, Hey buddy me? Yeah,
I wonder if you could set an argument for me
and my string game? How what is it? He says
(19:14):
you're my clearing well and.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I got a gun that says you're going to get
into this time?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
So who's goodly? Both? Here? You did? You fellows ought
to be ashamed of yourself. Things like this don't happen anymore,
don't things? Yeah, I guess they do. Well, who's black?
Do I sit on? We'll go over Wally watch him.
You know I got a friend who won't believe this.
He's a belief sergeant. Think today you're not even in?
(19:43):
Do you think his feeling to be het? Absolutely to white?
Tell him you talk too much? Warning you may be
right here. I am. I got to know I talk
too much too. All right, Well let's find a nice price.
But where instead of all this dialacic we can get
a little election. In a moment, we'll return to the
(20:19):
adventures of the Falcon. Well, that's life for you, and obviously,
somewhere along the line, I put my foot in it.
Five minutes after Wally found his nice quiet spot, that
(20:41):
same foot was around my neck. The next thing I knew,
I was at police headquarters and it had begun to
rain that I was the only one getting wet. Sergeant
Corbett was in charge of the downpour.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
All right, Stutsman once more?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Cut that out? Do you want to tell me?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I thought that would bring you around.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
You didn't have to do that out of it?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Too good an opportunity to waste.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Here's a towel, thanks.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Well, you better get the back of your neck, Mike,
you're not dry behind the ears. Oh that's a good one.
How did I get here? Anyway? The prowl car I
found you and read a hook recognizing you is my
comrade in arm. They brought you here?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Now, who did it?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I don't know their names, but they were obviously hired
by the same party who kill Larry Barker. You mean
Sheila got to be a SAP. They were hired by
Joyce Crane, and who, pray tell is Joyce Crane? She
was Larry Parker's secretary. Only her time belong to him
out of the office as well, and the two tunks
who gave you that going over were hired by her.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yes, you want a the scripture, I wouldn't care to
do it now.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Look, Sydney, we already picked them up. One is Wally
four and the other is a boy named Tony Gilman.
How do you know they're the right ones? Why they
admitted it? Oh, well, then we shouldn't have any trouble
getting him to confess that Joy's hired them that I doubt.
I'll look Cormick, Well, what are you telling me look for?
This isn't television our friends of Frank asking why? Yeah,
(22:02):
they were just.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Doing him a favor.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Now that I think of it, why did I lock
him up where they were doing me a favor too?
(22:28):
Hello Joyce and tell me you're back again. I wouldn't
slam the door. Love it this time I brought a
long friend. This is Sergeant Corner. How do you do, Sargeant?
I don't know that I'm wearing toe.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
That's just the trouble.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
He didn't tell me a thing. Maybe you can help out,
Maybe we come in. No, but I think we better
got an official requis, Oh, I didn't flash my badge? Now,
why can't we keep this on a friendly basis? I
don't like him? Me?
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Oh the girl got taped?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Sit down? Thanks? Now what do you want to know? Well,
Wearing here has come up with a very interesting theory.
You see, Joyce, there's one character in this little drama
we've forgotten. Now, you don't believe that Sheila killed Larry Barker?
Do you? Yes? I do you change your mind? It's
the woman's prerogatives. Well, let's hold Sheila in abeyance for
a while. Let's get back to this character we've overlooked.
(23:18):
What's the name of the private dick Larry hired, I
mean plask No, Pulaski never went to work for him.
This is the boy who actually did the job, the
one who telled Sheila to my apartment al Saranacchi, Saraacci,
that's a name. What's he got to do with this? Well,
let's suppose Larry never paid him for the job. That
gives Sparacci imotive. It's crazy. The only reason Barry didn't
(23:38):
pay him is because he was busy. But Paraacci expected
to be paid right.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
There and then no, Larry had a right to check
and see whether his information was McCoy. Once Larry found
out Sheila hired June to get divorce evidence.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
He agreed to pay off. How do you know that
because Mary tells him as much, Then it's your theory.
I killed him. He knew she'd never be free, any
of them. You really want to see her burn, don't you?
I most personally do. Bloodthirsty little girl. And geez, well,
what do you say, Mike? I say it's about time
you did something. Are you mumbling about? She's the one
(24:13):
we want? It's possible too, but it doesn't alter the conclusion.
You kill Larry Box. Yes, you were in love with him,
and why would I kill him? Because you were getting
older every day You went with him for nine years,
always deluding yourself someday he'd marry you. When you finally
woke up to the fact he was killing you, that
was it. Can you prove that might cure? When Barker
came to my place, he accused me of running around
(24:34):
with Sheila. He slugged me before I had a chance
to tell I was only working bar. But Joyce here
claimed Barker told her that that's what I mean that's
how I knew Joyce was lying. All right, Collett, fool
everybody and make like a police Argett, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
The story appears to be complete, although based on some
of our past episodes, there might have been a missing
scene between Wearing and his client or Wearing a Sergeant Corbett.
But I actually don't feel like it was necessary. It
seemed pretty clear to me how Wearing solve the case.
(25:27):
I did like the psychology that the husband was suspicious
of his wife because he was himself being unfaithful. I'm
beyond that. There's some fun stuff, such as learning Sergeant
Corbett's first name after all this time, Sydney wouldn't have
thought it, but good to know. Also, I liked the
(25:48):
fact that the guys who beat up Wearing were just
friends of Pulaski. Pulaski did keep his word, and of
course we also note that Pulosky drove what else?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Nash?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All right?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Well, listener comments and feedback now, and we have a
comment on Facebook from gg Little who writes, you got
to hand it to the Falcon and this is regarding
the episode the Case of the Fated Rose. You've got
to hand it to the Falcon, smart enough to solve
a complex mystery, not quite smart enough to notice he's
not wearing pants. Well we all have, well not we all,
(26:26):
but I've got some of those uneven abilities, so I
kind of get that. Thank you so much. GG and
GG actually had a in OTR detective themed novel that's
coming out in October, so congratulations on that. Well, now
we're going to talk a little bit about our listener
(26:49):
support and appreciation campaign, and we've been doing this for many,
many years, and the last few we have focused solely
on our patre On support, although we certainly welcome those
who send one time donations however they choose to. It
really is all vital to the podcast, but the Patreon
(27:12):
supporters are key for providing reliable support month in and
month out. When it comes to creating podcasts, all of
the revenue that you have coming in it really does
vary whether you're talking advertising or YouTube. For these little
(27:34):
smaller revenue streams that we have going, it all just
varies from month to month by things that we can't
really control. So that stable base from our Patreon supporters
is really critical and really appreciated because they all with
month month expenses and builds that I need to pat
(27:57):
and of course the Patreon support it goes on the
financial aspect. It means a lot that people choose to
support the podcast. I know there are a lot of
videos I watch, a lot of creators I stumble across,
and it seems like everyone's got a Patreon or a
(28:21):
YouTube channel membership, and no one can afford to sign
up for them all. But it means so much that
people decide to make us one of the programs that
they support, and being able to reach out and share
(28:41):
and connect. Oftentimes, we have our regular monthly update which
has some personal update as well as gives some thoughts
on where we're going with the podcast and when. We'll
often ask for feedback from our patreons and they'll have
(29:02):
a voice in what we do on the podcast now.
Of course, that can come about directly, such as voting
for our summer series, and I really enjoyed just finished
recording the Summer of Robert Lewis Stevenson that the Patreon
(29:22):
supporters chose, But it can come in a lot of ways.
Having a group of listeners who really are invested in
the program and dedicated to it really means so much
and being able to communicate and to get their feedback
and to do the best that I can to bring
the best show possible. So I truly appreciate all of
(29:46):
our Patreon supporters, and if you would like to join
our more than four hundred Patreon supporters, you can do
so at Patreon dot Great Detectives dot net. You will
get a monthly up date from me, and those who
support the podcast at the Shawmus level of four dollars
or more per month will also get to enjoy bonus
(30:10):
podcasts that don't actually go out on the internet. We've
had some really fun things. Oftentimes it's tied into one
of our actors in either the Detective programs or another series.
Sometimes it can be just something really interesting that I
found through my journeys through the golden age of radio.
(30:33):
And again that is available to listeners who support the
program at the Shawmas level of four dollars or more
per month. Most other major benefits will come to all
of our Patreon supporters who support the podcast at the
rookie level of two dollars or more per month. And
there are all sorts of things I would love to do,
(30:54):
but it requires time and money and our Patreon supporters
helped to do that. Yeah, one thing I have thought
about is licensing some programs which are firmly under copyright
but which we aren't able to play, particularly as we're
running out of American programs. And of course we continue
(31:14):
to look for ways to acquire higher quality old time
radio programs and old time radio programs that are not
in general circulation. And of course I always want to
be a supporter of good things going on in the
old time radio community and provide our own sort of
(31:35):
contributions to the world of radio research. Certainly, one thing
we were able to do this year, which was really fun,
was to put the Landini murder case on Charlie Chan
into the context of the book The Keeper of the Keys. Now,
one thing I do want to talk about is our
(31:55):
plans for Monday. In the coming season. We do have
a couple more weeks of the Falcon ahead, and then
coming at the end of the month, we will be
bringing you Danger with Granger, which will carry on for
a few months but will not get us through the
entirety of Season seventeen. And what is coming next, well,
(32:18):
that will actually be decided by our Patreon supporters. We
will repeat a series that we did in the past,
somewhat series that it really has been long enough that
we can revisit. We're not going to replace ham Spade
or something like that, but it will be placed to
our Patreon supporters to choose one of the previous Monday series.
(32:44):
It won't be Boxed thirteen, since we did that back
in season eleven and a few weeks of season twelve,
so that was fairly recent, but it will be other
Monday series that we've done and our Patreon supporters. We'll
choose which Monday series we are going to revisit first,
(33:05):
and if you do want to become part of that process,
just become one of our Patreon supporters. Patreon do great
detectives dot net. Well, now it is time to thank
our Patreon supporter of the day, and I want to
thank Greg, Patreon supporter since January twenty twenty three, currently

February eighth, nineteen fifty four, here is the Case of
the Wandering Why.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And now we invite you to listen to the Adventures
of the Falcon. Mike Wearings All is the case of
the Wondering Wife. There's one thing you learned working as
a private detective. You keep your eyes open, you're bound
to reach your goal. In case in point, I give
(02:04):
you Larry Parker. Larry is the rugged looking boy making
his way down the fourth floor carridor of the Harris
Building right now. He's looking for trouble. When he stops
in front of room four nineteen. The odds are twenty
to one they'll find him. Done.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, I'm looking to find Pulaski.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, if you don't find him, it ain't because you
don't try to write places you polaskis right. I'm Larry Barker,
the bookie, and I think we have to go into that. Well,
whatever you says the baccus, can I do it for it?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
It remains to be seen.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Someone told me you were one of the best private
detectives around. Well, naturally, I ain't gonn it, deny it,
and I will soon find out. Head over with this
picture that happens to be my wife, I see if
it's better, And I don't like those kind of jolkes.
PULASKI sorry, I think you can watch it for me. Well,
I don't know why not. The first name is Shila Siler. Yeah,
(02:58):
I want to follow up day and night. I want
to know where everyone she sees, but everyone? Can you
handle it? Well, let's see if we understand each other
with the paka. You suspect your wife's running a rock?
Did I say that? Why else would you want to
take a table? None of your business?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Now, either you want the.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Job or you don't. Well, it's going to run into
a lot of dolls. So how about an advent?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Now, Guys, for a job like this, i'll have to
put on too extra men.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I don't care how many you put on in my business.
I only play off on results.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Well, I don't do business that way.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I do well.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
In that case, we're both wasting time. You got to
find yourself another boy. I got to find myself another client.
Let's hope we both don't have to look. Can I
help you, honey? Doxy? You don't seem to be having
(03:48):
much luck? Maybe I'll do better calling a car Now,
wait a minute, baby, I ain't trying to pick you up.
I mean it missus barker, goody? How did you know
my name? You know you'd be surprised what I know
about you. Maybe you'd like to look at my cut. Thanks,
Pulaski private investigation. You're happy he was in the scene yesterday, Larry,
(04:10):
what did he want? Well, no, this ain't no place
to talk. I am. I got a brand new nash
around the corner, and you can say anything you've got
to right here. Well, it's kind of embarrassing, Shila. I
don't like to be seen taking money from a woman
in a public thoroughfare. What are you talking about? Well, naturally,
you can't expect me to divulge this kind of information
for free. You're absolutely right, mister Pulaski. So you keep
(04:34):
your information and I'll keep my money. I wait a minute,
I'm not interested. Well, let's really concern to you.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
I doubt it that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It looks like I ain't going to make a buck
from the bark of family. No. How, but I like
you better than I do your husband. I mean, if
I were us, Shila, i'd watch my step. Larry's checking
up on you. What do you mean? Just what I said?
As a matter of fact, I did a little checking
on you myself. Why, as far as I can learn,
(05:02):
you never want step out of line. So what's the
matter with that husband of yours? Anyway?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
He must be out of his mind.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You may be right.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Well, if I was you and he, I'd never put
up with it.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Thank you for your advice, mister Bilesky. I'll let you
know if I take it. God's a second, I said,
just a second, that's the big idea. Oh hello, you
(05:33):
must be like weary. Well, if you're looking, if I
might be a fooler than I had, come on in angel,
the name is Barker, Missus Barker. I don't like to
be former with my clients. And what makes you think
I'm going to be a client. I mean this is
a social call. Well that's even better now, thank you,
sig right, No thanks, drink, I make a great smoon
(05:56):
off martini. What oka you know? Well, if you don't
mind just to wearing, I'd like to get right down
to business. All you pretty women are like, okay, shelter,
maybe you want me to start looking? When do I
want you to start looking? Well, why don't you want
evidence for a divorce? How did you know that? Well
you announced yourself as missus Barker, and then I took
(06:17):
a look at your left hand. That little white ring
of flesh told me you were wearing a wedding band.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Until a couple of hours ago.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's pretty obvious. Always is after someone points it out.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
What your husband do.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
He's a betting commissioner. You wouldn't be married to Larry Parker. Yes,
now what's that supposed to me? Oh, I'm impressed. I
hope you do as.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Well on your next marriage.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
There's not going to be a next marriage. I just
want a divorce. I don't even want alan. Honest, Why
have you ever been married to a jealous man? And
not recently? I'm not planning to wearing Sorry. Larry and
I were married.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Six years ago, and ever since the first day, he
suspected the worst.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Does he have a reason? No, you know, I believe you.
Thank you. But if Larry had no cause to be jealous,
why is he? I don't know, and I don't care.
He's killed everything I ever felt for him. He even
tried to hire a private detective to keep tabs on me,
fool man named Frank Pulaski. That was a phonal straw.
(07:16):
I don't blame you, all right, angel, I'll let you
know when I come up with something and I love see, Yeah,
I can I help you? Well, he's very busy. He
(07:39):
can't be that busy.
Speaker 6 (07:46):

to speak to you personally. His name is Alfonnachi.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Glad to see your mister Barker. I want you got plenty.
I told you my outfit delivers the goods. Lucky you
didn't get yourself tied up with the Frank PULASKI. What's
the story? Just what you thought? Your wife's been seeing
some guy on the slide and I knew it. I
know it. She spent practically the whole afternoon, and mis said,
who is he? Mike wearing the falcon yep? And you
(08:24):
know is rip heard a couple of stories. Well there
you are. It's just in case of putting too and
two together, all right, fin actually beat it?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
What about my check?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I'm look, mister Barker, somehow I don't just trust me?
Well out deal, that's why that's your wife Joyce show
him up. Never mind, I can find my own wife.
What happened? Nothing? That wasn't the imperson I got listening
at the car. So you were heaves dropping. I think
(08:53):
that'sould be ashamed of myself.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I got a good mind.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
There you have mar find the one bad you're thinking
nine years I would have gotten smarter.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Are you battling about?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Just reminisce going on your own time?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Don't have any tune on my own every minutes? Long
to you?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Remember you're gonna start that again.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Yes, I'm entitled to know where I stand. I've been
telling me long enough. Nine years, nine long years. I
don't know you've got grounds for divorce. I heard what
karainat she said. She has been running around with them,
mic Wearing.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You didn't actually think I was going to marry you? Yes,
I do, you stupid little fool. I share is what
I'm million like you. She's no better than I am. Swearing.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You keep your mouth shut. You understand. Don't you dare
to say? What about her?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I hope mister Wearing is his gallant.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Don't give it up, thought Joyce. He won't talk. I'll
see to that personally. It's about time, Wearing.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
How did you get in here? What difference does it make?
Shut the door? I take it that gun is loaded.
What do you think I think I better shut the door.
I understand you and my wife had a nice little
talk today. Oh you must be Larry Barker.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Do you guess?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, I'm real clever. I one, have you been carrying
on with Sheila? How long have I watch you? Mean? Yeah?
But I'm sure I misunderstood you think your wife and me. Yes,
you've got a real nasty mind. Listen, youell me something, Barker?
How do you get like that? The way I say it?
Either you once took a beating from some woman. Nobody
puts anything around me? And I got another theory. You
must be playing around yourself. Sure, that's it. So because
you can't be trusted, you don't believe anybody else? Can
(10:40):
I guess that means I'm right? Huh? You're going to
stay away from Sheila?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Do you understand?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Who's gonna make me me? Come on, Mike and then
to rise and shine? Now you're gonna lait there and
pamper yourself. Who's that? Just open those big brown eyes
(11:09):
and look it would be Sergeant Corbett.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
You're giving odds?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
What are you doing here? No, that's no way to
talk to a man. To save your life? Who saved
my life? Help me up? But if I were you, kiddoh,
I'd stay right there they save another trip down. Who
did this job on? You? Remnved?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Was Larry Barker?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Went? Then, how did you know?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I'm psychic?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
And how about Barker? I'll take care of him. A
couple of boys down at the headquarters think you did already? What? Yeah,
they found his body twenty minutes ago with three splugs
in his brain. Oh no, oh, yes, and you'll die
when you hear who.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
They think put him there?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Oh you want to put your head on and when
you go like that. In a moment, we'll return to
the adventures of the Falcon. But first and now back
(12:15):
to the Adventures of the Falcon. It just goes to
prove you should never sleep in the daytime.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Here Larry Barker tucked.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Me in When I awoke, a police sergeant, I mean
Sidney Corbett was standing over me. I didn't make up
my mind. Which was more frightening Corbett's news or his face.
What's the matter, Mike, you look unhappy.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Let me get this straight, sergeant.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You got it straight. Barry Barker's been murdered. Did you
think it's a possibility you had to run in with
him when you found me? I was unconscious? How do
I know you weren't fake? Oh's me? What did he
getting excited for? I said it was a possibility, the probability.
There's something else again, What was your trouble with bark
He had some screwy eye. I was horsing around with
(13:01):
his wife. Were you No, you're slipping? That ain't the
mic wearing I know in love, Sheila came to me
to get her evidence for a divorce. Why you got
another guy on the string? Oh, she just couldn't stomach
Larry anymore. He was crazy jealous. Well, because there's problems
over now. Well, I hate to disagree with you, but
I think her problems are just beginning. I don't see
how you're not looking in the right places.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
You say Barker was crazy jealous.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
He would have thought a divorce all so she took
the other way of getting rid of him. You're nuts, Well,
I would have bet you would say that. Whenever you're
stuck for an an, I'll tell you she didn't kill him. Sergeant,
Why don't you scot around and find out who else
had it in for Barker? You have any suggestion, Yes,
Larry was playing around on the side. He practically admitted
it to me. That's why he was ready to believe
the worst of Sheila to justify himself. Well assuming, now, Mark, you,
(13:48):
I say, assuming there was another woman? So what we'll
know that when you find her. You mean, when you
find her you expect that. Huh?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Done my part? I found Sheila.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
You get your own girls?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
There? Who's there? Josh got your nurse? Yes, that's what
they all say. Now looking at I don't know who
you are. But if you don't get out of here,
don't call a copy. My number is State four nine
nine seven. Oh what are you waiting for it? Why
(14:34):
Pulaski is My name is Frank Pulaski. I'm a private dick,
you know, like the falcon. Well, why don't I sit down? Ah,
it's too bad about your boss, my boss, Larry Barker.
Someone done him in. You're lying, let me think. So
take a look at this headline.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
You kill the east Side apartment in its darker better known.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Oh no, you need a drink? I do? Do you mind?
Is this why you came here?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Well not exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No time you see the cops think his wife noted them. Well,
she seemed like the best bet. Of course, you and
I know better. You mean, Well, Barker came to my
office yesterday to hire me to keep tabs on his missus.
That's why I hired ALPHARANATCHI sure, but that was only
(15:28):
after I turned him down. You know, he was a
tough man to get a buck out of. You'd think
his wife would be more generous. Well, I thought she
at least would let me have a hundreds of tipping
her off on what was going on. But no, So
then I thought, of you, I don't understand. Well, now
I'm a student of human nature. You can't believe how
low people are. Yeah, well, I wondered why a guy
(15:50):
like bark could be watching his missus when she never
once made off the reservation. And then it occurred to
me maybe he liked to put on the work paint himself.
I wouldn't know, you kidding, who'd know? You?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Get out?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Oh, you don't want to take that attitude, sweet, Like
I said, this is only a theory. Now the five
hundred plans, I'd be willing to forget it out. Well,
if I do, I'll go straight to Mike wearing. I
don't care where you go. But you can't say later
I didn't give you a chance, I will get your
ten wearing. I'll be willing to take it. Yeah, Hi, Warring,
(16:33):
Do I know you no, but think of what you've
been listening. I'm willing to pass it up or you'll
be making a great mistake. You're working for Shila Barker,
ain't you well? Well, how would you like to get
her off? Maybe you better come in. I don't believe
you mentioned your name. I don't believe I did. It's Pulaski,
Frank Pulaski. Oh, I don't tell me. You heard of it.
Only this afternoon. Chetera Barker told me you were working
(16:55):
for her husband. Oh, she's got the story twisted. He
wanted me to go to work, but.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
I couldn't see it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We couldn't get together on the feet. That's tough, but
it's tougher than you think. Imagine me sitting here with
everything I know, and what do you know?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Well?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Is it worth five hundred fish in my day?
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Well?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Suppose I told you that Barca was playing around. I
figured that out for myself. Yeah, but I know her name.
Wouldn't you pay off? Well? You much embraced her first.
You know you're pretty cute. How about you say that
to all the boys. Who's the girl to see the
color of your don't come on, Pilaski, who's the girl?
Let me go? I asked you something. Don't you better
(17:34):
do that again? You're better pay for that. I put
it on my bill and I want her name? Well,
joy Joyce Cream, where can I find it at the
com start? Thanks a lot, Pilaski, You've been a great help.
That's okay, worry the pleasure is all mine. You'll be
surprised what I do for you in the future. Hello,
(18:06):
but having a selling inst how do you know if
you see my line I'll take you can't afford. Dude, Joyce,
you being just a little bit familiar? I do you
think I'm obnoxious? Now? Way? Do you know me better?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
My name is Mike Wearing all right for you? You're
not impressed, have no idea. You can say everything you
want right there, everything, But you're not fooling me. I
know the last he's been to see you.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I kind of hoped to be as surprised now he
announced his intention as he left. I see and I
see something else. Dollie Barker was right. You wouldn't have
made him a good wife. You're much too possessive, no
careful and maybe kiddies with me. But you are possessive.
You proved it when you killed him. Get out. You're
forgetting angel. I am out. You never invited me in,
(18:51):
mister big mouth had a going reminder, Hey buddy me? Yeah,
I wonder if you could set an argument for me
and my string game? How what is it? He says
(19:14):
you're my clearing well and.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I got a gun that says you're going to get
into this time?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
So who's goodly? Both? Here? You did? You fellows ought
to be ashamed of yourself. Things like this don't happen anymore,
don't things? Yeah, I guess they do. Well, who's black?
Do I sit on? We'll go over Wally watch him.
You know I got a friend who won't believe this.
He's a belief sergeant. Think today you're not even in?
(19:43):
Do you think his feeling to be het? Absolutely to white?
Tell him you talk too much? Warning you may be
right here. I am. I got to know I talk
too much too. All right, Well let's find a nice price.
But where instead of all this dialacic we can get
a little election. In a moment, we'll return to the
(20:19):
adventures of the Falcon. Well, that's life for you, and obviously,
somewhere along the line, I put my foot in it.
Five minutes after Wally found his nice quiet spot, that
(20:41):
same foot was around my neck. The next thing I knew,
I was at police headquarters and it had begun to
rain that I was the only one getting wet. Sergeant
Corbett was in charge of the downpour.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
All right, Stutsman once more?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Cut that out? Do you want to tell me?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I thought that would bring you around.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
You didn't have to do that out of it?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Too good an opportunity to waste.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Here's a towel, thanks.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Well, you better get the back of your neck, Mike,
you're not dry behind the ears. Oh that's a good one.
How did I get here? Anyway? The prowl car I
found you and read a hook recognizing you is my
comrade in arm. They brought you here?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Now, who did it?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I don't know their names, but they were obviously hired
by the same party who kill Larry Barker. You mean
Sheila got to be a SAP. They were hired by
Joyce Crane, and who, pray tell is Joyce Crane? She
was Larry Parker's secretary. Only her time belong to him
out of the office as well, and the two tunks
who gave you that going over were hired by her.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yes, you want a the scripture, I wouldn't care to
do it now.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Look, Sydney, we already picked them up. One is Wally
four and the other is a boy named Tony Gilman.
How do you know they're the right ones? Why they
admitted it? Oh, well, then we shouldn't have any trouble
getting him to confess that Joy's hired them that I doubt.
I'll look Cormick, Well, what are you telling me look for?
This isn't television our friends of Frank asking why? Yeah,
(22:02):
they were just.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Doing him a favor.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Now that I think of it, why did I lock
him up where they were doing me a favor too?
(22:28):
Hello Joyce and tell me you're back again. I wouldn't
slam the door. Love it this time I brought a
long friend. This is Sergeant Corner. How do you do, Sargeant?
I don't know that I'm wearing toe.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
That's just the trouble.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
He didn't tell me a thing. Maybe you can help out,
Maybe we come in. No, but I think we better
got an official requis, Oh, I didn't flash my badge? Now,
why can't we keep this on a friendly basis? I
don't like him? Me?
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Oh the girl got taped?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Sit down? Thanks? Now what do you want to know? Well,
Wearing here has come up with a very interesting theory.
You see, Joyce, there's one character in this little drama
we've forgotten. Now, you don't believe that Sheila killed Larry Barker?
Do you? Yes? I do you change your mind? It's
the woman's prerogatives. Well, let's hold Sheila in abeyance for
a while. Let's get back to this character we've overlooked.
(23:18):
What's the name of the private dick Larry hired, I
mean plask No, Pulaski never went to work for him.
This is the boy who actually did the job, the
one who telled Sheila to my apartment al Saranacchi, Saraacci,
that's a name. What's he got to do with this? Well,
let's suppose Larry never paid him for the job. That
gives Sparacci imotive. It's crazy. The only reason Barry didn't
(23:38):
pay him is because he was busy. But Paraacci expected
to be paid right.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
There and then no, Larry had a right to check
and see whether his information was McCoy. Once Larry found
out Sheila hired June to get divorce evidence.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
He agreed to pay off. How do you know that
because Mary tells him as much, Then it's your theory.
I killed him. He knew she'd never be free, any
of them. You really want to see her burn, don't you?
I most personally do. Bloodthirsty little girl. And geez, well,
what do you say, Mike? I say it's about time
you did something. Are you mumbling about? She's the one
(24:13):
we want? It's possible too, but it doesn't alter the conclusion.
You kill Larry Box. Yes, you were in love with him,
and why would I kill him? Because you were getting
older every day You went with him for nine years,
always deluding yourself someday he'd marry you. When you finally
woke up to the fact he was killing you, that
was it. Can you prove that might cure? When Barker
came to my place, he accused me of running around
(24:34):
with Sheila. He slugged me before I had a chance
to tell I was only working bar. But Joyce here
claimed Barker told her that that's what I mean that's
how I knew Joyce was lying. All right, Collett, fool
everybody and make like a police Argett, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
The story appears to be complete, although based on some
of our past episodes, there might have been a missing
scene between Wearing and his client or Wearing a Sergeant Corbett.
But I actually don't feel like it was necessary. It
seemed pretty clear to me how Wearing solve the case.
(25:27):
I did like the psychology that the husband was suspicious
of his wife because he was himself being unfaithful. I'm
beyond that. There's some fun stuff, such as learning Sergeant
Corbett's first name after all this time, Sydney wouldn't have
thought it, but good to know. Also, I liked the
(25:48):
fact that the guys who beat up Wearing were just
friends of Pulaski. Pulaski did keep his word, and of
course we also note that Pulosky drove what else?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Nash?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All right?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Well, listener comments and feedback now, and we have a
comment on Facebook from gg Little who writes, you got
to hand it to the Falcon and this is regarding
the episode the Case of the Fated Rose. You've got
to hand it to the Falcon, smart enough to solve
a complex mystery, not quite smart enough to notice he's
not wearing pants. Well we all have, well not we all,
(26:26):
but I've got some of those uneven abilities, so I
kind of get that. Thank you so much. GG and
GG actually had a in OTR detective themed novel that's
coming out in October, so congratulations on that. Well, now
we're going to talk a little bit about our listener
(26:49):
support and appreciation campaign, and we've been doing this for many,
many years, and the last few we have focused solely
on our patre On support, although we certainly welcome those
who send one time donations however they choose to. It
really is all vital to the podcast, but the Patreon
(27:12):
supporters are key for providing reliable support month in and
month out. When it comes to creating podcasts, all of
the revenue that you have coming in it really does
vary whether you're talking advertising or YouTube. For these little
(27:34):
smaller revenue streams that we have going, it all just
varies from month to month by things that we can't
really control. So that stable base from our Patreon supporters
is really critical and really appreciated because they all with
month month expenses and builds that I need to pat
(27:57):
and of course the Patreon support it goes on the
financial aspect. It means a lot that people choose to
support the podcast. I know there are a lot of
videos I watch, a lot of creators I stumble across,
and it seems like everyone's got a Patreon or a
(28:21):
YouTube channel membership, and no one can afford to sign
up for them all. But it means so much that
people decide to make us one of the programs that
they support, and being able to reach out and share
(28:41):
and connect. Oftentimes, we have our regular monthly update which
has some personal update as well as gives some thoughts
on where we're going with the podcast and when. We'll
often ask for feedback from our patreons and they'll have
(29:02):
a voice in what we do on the podcast now.
Of course, that can come about directly, such as voting
for our summer series, and I really enjoyed just finished
recording the Summer of Robert Lewis Stevenson that the Patreon
(29:22):
supporters chose, But it can come in a lot of ways.
Having a group of listeners who really are invested in
the program and dedicated to it really means so much
and being able to communicate and to get their feedback
and to do the best that I can to bring
the best show possible. So I truly appreciate all of
(29:46):
our Patreon supporters, and if you would like to join
our more than four hundred Patreon supporters, you can do
so at Patreon dot Great Detectives dot net. You will
get a monthly up date from me, and those who
support the podcast at the Shawmus level of four dollars
or more per month will also get to enjoy bonus
(30:10):
podcasts that don't actually go out on the internet. We've
had some really fun things. Oftentimes it's tied into one
of our actors in either the Detective programs or another series.
Sometimes it can be just something really interesting that I
found through my journeys through the golden age of radio.
(30:33):
And again that is available to listeners who support the
program at the Shawmas level of four dollars or more
per month. Most other major benefits will come to all
of our Patreon supporters who support the podcast at the
rookie level of two dollars or more per month. And
there are all sorts of things I would love to do,
(30:54):
but it requires time and money and our Patreon supporters
helped to do that. Yeah, one thing I have thought
about is licensing some programs which are firmly under copyright
but which we aren't able to play, particularly as we're
running out of American programs. And of course we continue
(31:14):
to look for ways to acquire higher quality old time
radio programs and old time radio programs that are not
in general circulation. And of course I always want to
be a supporter of good things going on in the
old time radio community and provide our own sort of
(31:35):
contributions to the world of radio research. Certainly, one thing
we were able to do this year, which was really fun,
was to put the Landini murder case on Charlie Chan
into the context of the book The Keeper of the Keys. Now,
one thing I do want to talk about is our
(31:55):
plans for Monday. In the coming season. We do have
a couple more weeks of the Falcon ahead, and then
coming at the end of the month, we will be
bringing you Danger with Granger, which will carry on for
a few months but will not get us through the
entirety of Season seventeen. And what is coming next, well,
(32:18):
that will actually be decided by our Patreon supporters. We
will repeat a series that we did in the past,
somewhat series that it really has been long enough that
we can revisit. We're not going to replace ham Spade
or something like that, but it will be placed to
our Patreon supporters to choose one of the previous Monday series.
(32:44):
It won't be Boxed thirteen, since we did that back
in season eleven and a few weeks of season twelve,
so that was fairly recent, but it will be other
Monday series that we've done and our Patreon supporters. We'll
choose which Monday series we are going to revisit first,
(33:05):
and if you do want to become part of that process,
just become one of our Patreon supporters. Patreon do great
detectives dot net. Well, now it is time to thank
our Patreon supporter of the day, and I want to
thank Greg, Patreon supporter since January twenty twenty three, currently
supporting the podcast at the Shawmas level of four dollars
(33:26):
more per month. Thanks so much for your support, Greg,
