Great Quick Listen

Really well narrated. Worth twice the price just to hear the actors and actresses preform.

Good Old Time Radio

The missing Mr. Lee was a good quick listen by Black Mask Audio Magazine, written by Hugh B. Cave in 1940. The narrating done by a full cast was spot on.

Fun

Was so fun to listen to. Only critic is the casting of the thirteen year old neighbor, made me think of baby Herman. Just a suggestion, but maybe cast a female VA for young children rolls, as a mom of teen boys, their voice doesn’t really break till 14/15, and it still has a baby-ish lilt to it.

Radio murder mystery hour

Fun nugget of a whodunnit, set post Prohibition, told through one-sided dialogue as witnesses speak to an unheard-from detective about the death of one man and the disappearance of another. The accents and radio-style narration are entertaining and the period-music in the background sets the right pulpy tone. Excellent as a free listen.
