The 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 Charlie Chan cereal. But if you are enjoying this podcast, please follow us using

your favorite podcast software. And I want to encourage you to check out our other podcast,

Again, check that out at amazing.gratedetectives.net or wherever you get your podcast from.
