| 0:00.0 | The weather. Tomorrow, expect a... Biting cold front. Mmm, how naughty. I wonder what I'll be wearing or taking off. The night will be wild and untamed. Expect heavy, lashing rain that'll soak you to the skin. By Monday, temperatures will rise, slowly but surely, reaching their peak in the afternoon. |
| 0:23.0 | Not in the mood for miserable weather? |
| 0:25.5 | Fly cheaply to Turkey with Sun Express. |
| 0:28.6 | Sun Express, non-stop sunshine. Music Prime. From Boise, Idaho, this is your host, Adam Graham. |
| 1:02.5 | It's baseball season, which makes me happy, even though I'm a Colorado Rockies fan. |
| 1:08.3 | And so during this break, we will be playing all of the baseball-related episodes that we've done |
| 1:15.8 | on the great detectives of old-time radio. |
| 1:18.7 | With the exception of an episode of Bulldog Drummond and yours truly Johnny Dollar, which |
| 1:24.5 | we've featured relatively recently. |

| 2:14.1 | And now, Playball! |
| 2:18.6 | Welcome to the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio. From Boise, Idaho, this is your host, Adam Graham. |
| 2:27.4 | If you have a comment, email it to me, box 13 at greatdetectives.net. Follow us on Twitter at Radio Detectives and become one of our friends |
| 2:38.1 | on Facebook. Facebook.com slash radio detectives. Well, this is our 1,550th episode special. And I've got a |
| 2:49.0 | treat for you. Baseball season began just about a couple |
| 2:52.5 | weeks ago. And so today's stories actually got a pretty interesting baseball-related thing. |
| 2:59.8 | This is a very rare program. It's from the anthology series, the W-O-R summer theater. |
