29 分钟The End.
welcome to the great detectives of old time radio from Boise Idaho this is your host Adam Graham in a moment we are going to bring you this week's episode of yours truly Johnny dollar but
if you are enjoying this podcast I want to encourage you to follow us using your favorite podcast software and our listener support campaign continues you can become one of our ongoing patreon supporters for as little as two dollars per month at patreon.greatdetectives.net now in between last week's episode and this week's there was a lost episode and this is usually more of just a bookkeeping matter but The last episode that's missing may be one of the more significant ones in the Bob Bailey era as that program and this one was one of those interconnected episodes.
It's not a story where it won't stand on its own but it can be helpful to have heard the previous story.
Now from the character angle it also included the introduction of an ongoing character who would be in the series for the rest of the Bailey run and Betty Lois who is a girlfriend of Joni.
a relationship that became an element of a bit of a tease for listeners although not too much and she's in this story as well so it wouldn't be great
if we could bring in the curly waters matter but we can't but there's enough context in this story to understand what happened at least
as is relevant to this episode and of course we have john abbott's notes on the script for that story,
which will allow us to fill in some details when we get to the post-episode commentary.
But now, from February 8, 1959, here is The Date with Death Matter.
This episode is brought to you by Spreaker,
the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain.
Symptoms include buying microphones you don't need, explaining RSS feeds to confused relatives,
and saying things like, sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm editing audio.
If this sounds familiar, you're probably already a podcaster.
The good news is Spreaker makes the whole process simple.
You record your show, upload it once, and Spreaker distributes it everywhere people listen –
Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and about a dozen apps your cousin swears are the next big thing.
