    Quotes from LaReina Tipping:

    "Your brain is a three-pound universe with 70,000 thoughts a day — let’s not forget to take care of it."

    "We want to be proactive versus reactive when it comes to brain health."

    "Neuroplasticity means it’s never too late to start — small changes can lead to real brain rewiring."

Good story with one very notable flaw.

A good story typical of the Sherlock Holmes pastiche. Basil Rathbone was excellent as Holmes as he always was. Watson was not played by Nigel Bruce.
The one glaring issue with the story was that the Germans were in the mess they were in because they refused to pay 50k to the woman for the papers yet offered that same amount to Holmes. I have listened to hundreds of stories and Adam's great commentary on them and was surprised that he missed that or at least didn't mention it.

What a show!

If you love old time radio, your host, Adam Graham, presents a wide array of different programs from the bronze age of radio. He's been at this for years and years and knows a great deal about the episodes, actors and programs.

I came for the Dragnet and stayed for everything else. Like anything on the radio, they aren't all gems, but so many of them are, it's worth your time to subscribe. enjoy.

(long time listener, finally back after Google music killed my podcasts)

The Best

If you like old time radio and detective stories then you will like this podcast. The introduction is always great tidbits of info to set up the story and I love the old commercials.

Misogyny

Better mysteries are out there. This has to be 15 words, need four more words.
