The Welcome to the great detectives 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 The Big Story. But first, I do want to encourage you, if you're enjoying the podcast,

please follow us using your favorite podcast software. I do want to promote our other podcast,
