Welcome to the great adventurers of old time radio from Boise, Idaho.

This is your host, Adam Graham.

In a moment, we're going to bring you this week's episode of Counter Spy.

But first, I do want to encourage you.

If you're enjoying the podcast, please follow us using your favorite podcast software.

And today's program is also brought to you in part by the financial support of our listeners. You can support the show on a one-time basis at support.

Dot greatdetectives.net or become one of our ongoing Patreon supporters for as little

as $2 per month at patreon.orgatedetectives.net. Well, today's episode brings us to May of

1948.

And it's worth noting what a significant gap there is in the series,

as there was only one episode before this from the post-war era,

and that one was a rehearsal.

However, this starts one of those really wonderful strings

where we actually have consecutive episodes for three weeks in a row. This was actually the

303rd episode of Counter-Spy, the original air date May 23rd, 1948, and this is the housing racket,

but I like the slightly less popular, but better sounding, the Bunko Builders.

David Harding, Counter-Spire, presented by the makers of Old Nick and Bitter Honey Candy Bar.

And today we're happy to be able to repeat a special money-saving offer for all you folks who enjoy Old Nick and Better Honey candy bars.
