| 0:00.0 | The Welcome to the great detectives of old time radio from Boise, Idaho. |
| 0:35.7 | This is your host, Adam Graham. In a moment, I'm going to bring you |
| 0:40.4 | our first listener support and appreciation special, but first I do want to encourage you if you |
| 0:47.7 | are enjoying the podcast to please follow us using your favorite podcast software. And also, I want to encourage you to become one of our |
| 0:58.2 | Patreon supporters at patreon.gretectives.net. Our Patreon supporters are such a vital part of making |
| 1:07.1 | this podcast work. Truly appreciate it. And I hope you enjoy this special and now I've got |
