    Sam Spade: The 2026 Public Domain Remasters | 1946 Radio Double Feature (iZotope RX 11)

    The Private Eye is Free: A Sam Spade Double-Feature Remaster Listen close, detectives! 🕵️🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♀️The blueprint for the hardboiled detective is finally unlocked. As of January 1, 2026, Dashiell Hammett’s legendary private eye, Sam Spade, has officially entered the Public Domain. To celebrate, we aren't just re-playing old tapes—we are performing an audio resurrection. Forget the scratchy, low-fidelity sound of traditional Old Time Radio (OTR). In this special double-feature surprise episode, we take you back to 1946, but with the clarity of today. The History of the Hardboiled: Before Bond, before Bourne, there was the man in the trench coat. Created in 1930 for The Maltese Falcon, Spade was a cynical realist operating in the foggy shadows of San Francisco. He followed his own private code in a corrupt world, setting the archetype for every gritty detective that followed. While Bogart defined him on film, Howard Duff brought his sardonic energy to the golden age of radio. The Forensic Restoration Process: We’ve taken these 80-year-old transcription discs into the digital lab for a complete overhaul. Using the cutting-edge neural networks of iZotope RX 11, we performed a surgical forensic audio restoration. We’ve stripped away decades of surface noise, tape hiss, and crackle, isolating the dialogue and widening the soundstage for a high-definition, immersive noir experience. This Double-Feature Includes: The Death and Company Caper (1946): Spade gets tangled in a lethal family feud when a deathbed confession morphs into a murder accusation. The Calcutta Trunk Caper (1946): An atmospheric international thriller that finds Spade shanghaied, penniless, and trapped on a slow boat to India with a mysterious cargo. Step into the shadows and hear history reborn. This operation wouldn't run without the backing of my own crew here on Patreon. A massive tip of the fedora to: RSS feed right is fully connected... Dim the lights, pour something strong, and step back into 1946. Stay spooky and awesome, Your Tale Teller! 💜💜💜💜 OTR Link For Reference: https://archive.org/details/adventures-of-sam-spade-1948-07-04-106-the-rushlight-diamond-caper/Adventures+of+Sam+Spade+1946-08-09+(5)+The+Death+and+Company+Caper.mp3

  2. Do You Trust Your Nurse? The Lucy Letby Case

    Do You Trust Your Nurse? The Lucy Letby Case

    The Letby Case: A 2026 PerspectiveWelcome Legends and I hope you're having a wonderful Day or Evening! Some of you know, this case has taken a surreal turn over the last year. What started as a definitive 2023 conviction for the murder of seven infants has evolved into a high-stakes scientific and legal battle. While the 2023 and 2024 sentencing remarks described Letby's actions as a "calculated and cynical campaign," the "silent" evidence we are seeing now in 2026 tells a much more complex story of hospital failure. The Recent Shift in EvidenceWe really went into the weeds on the February 2025 Expert Panel report for this episode. Here are the specific points that stood out during the deep dive: The "Air Embolism" Misinterpretation: Dr. Shoo Lee, the author of the very paper used to convict Letby, has now gone on record stating the prosecution fundamentally misinterpreted his research. The Plumbing & Sepsis Link: New evidence from the Thirlwall Inquiry has highlighted chronic sewage backups and infrastructure failures in the unit that may have contributed to the infection rates. The Insulin Threshold: Chemical engineers have now demonstrated that the levels of insulin found in the babies would have required up to seven vials—none of which were missing from the hospital inventory. The CCRC Application: As of late 2025, Letby’s legal team has officially submitted for a case review based on these new forensic testimonies. A Sincere Thank YouI wanted to take a moment to thank you specifically for sticking with me as the show tackles these heavier, more forensic deep dives. Dealing with the reality the young deaths, the betrayal of trust, and medical ethics is a different beast entirely. Your contributions allow me to keep this show independent, ensuring I can look at the Court of Appeal judgments and the Thirlwall Inquiry reports without being beholden to any sponsors who might want a simpler, more sensationalist narrative. My question: With the new scientific evidence review, how does it change your perspective on Lucy, her contact with the children, and the deaths linked to her? What are your thoughts? Stay curious 💜💜💜💜 Your Tale Teller!Just below is the end episode song should you wish to listen to it legends!

    The Girl Who Never Came Home — April Tinsley

    G'daaay Legends! 💜💜💜 This week on Stories Fables Ghostly Tales, I’m sharing the story of April Tinsley. She was eight years old when she disappeared in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1988. For a long time, there were no clear answers — just fragments. A neighborhood. A walk home. A case that never fully left people’s minds. What makes this story compelling isn’t shock or twists. It’s the way it unfolds. Details that don’t seem important at first. Long stretches where nothing appears to change. And then, years later, pieces that suddenly start to connect. In this episode, we look at: What life in Fort Wayne looked like before the case changed it Who April was beyond the headlines The unanswered years that followed her disappearance The unsettling messages that surfaced later on And the moment when evidence finally pointed somewhere specific If you’re drawn to cases where the tension comes from what’s missing — from what people didn’t know for a long time — this is one you’ll want to listen to closely. Thanks, as always, for being here and for listening.GRATEFULLY... Your Tale Teller 💜💜💜 Pictures of Fort WayneOld Fort Wayne

  4. The Traits of a Serial Killer: Their Weakness

    FEB 1

    The Traits of a Serial Killer: Their Weakness

    This episode explored a difficult but important idea:the traits that define serial killers are not strengths—they are structural weaknesses. Popular culture often frames serial killers as calculating, fearless, or powerful. But when examined through real cases and repeated behaviours, the opposite becomes clear. Every trait that allowed harm also guaranteed escalation, exposure, and collapse. Manipulation Boundary violation Fantasy Compartmentalization Entitlement What ultimately separates a normal citizen from a serial killer is not anger, trauma, or dark thoughts. It is correction. Most people feel guilt and stop.Most people feel fear and pull back.Most people recognize boundaries and restrain themselves. Serial killers are defined not by emotionless cruelty, but by the absence of internal systems that interrupt harm. These traits are not impressive.They are not rare gifts.They are warning signs. And they always fail the person who relies on them. Thank you for listening legends! And I hope this episode hits the spot for you! 💜💜💜💜

    Theresa Fusco (1984): Long Island Cold Case Breakthrough After Decades

    Four blocks...That’s all Theresa Fusco needed to walk to get home...On a November night in 1984, she stepped out of a roller rink in Lynbrook, New York. The lights were still buzzing behind her. Music still playing. Teenagers still laughing. The world she’d been part of for the last few hours kept moving forward without her. Something had gone wrong inside. She’d been fired from her job at the snack bar. Witnesses later remembered her crying as she left. The record doesn’t preserve the exact words exchanged, or the reason it escalated to that moment. What it does preserve is how she walked out—upset, shaken, and alone. And then she started home. Four blocks is nothing. It’s the kind of distance that feels safe. Familiar. Automatic. The kind of walk you don’t think twice about—especially at sixteen. Theresa never arrived home... What followed was not just a murder, but a chain reaction that stretched across decades: fear gripping a small community, pressure mounting on investigators, confessions that later unravelled, and three men sent to prison for a crime they did not commit. For years, the system believed it had an answer. It didn’t. DNA—silent for decades—eventually spoke. It overturned convictions. It reopened wounds. And it left one question hanging in the air longer than anyone should have to wait for the truth. Who killed Theresa Fusco?In this episode, we trace that four-block walk forward and backward through time. We sit in the quiet moments most stories rush past: a girl holding back tears, a parent insisting something is wrong, evidence sealed away and nearly forgotten, and the long, unbearable weight of waiting. And then—forty years later—something ordinary is thrown away. A small, modern detail bridges the past and the present, forcing the case to move again. Not toward spectacle. Toward accountability. This is not a story about shock.It’s a story about how easily someone can disappear.How hard the truth can be to recover.And how one name deserves to be spoken with care, even after all this time. Her name was Theresa Fusco, we shall always remember you. ---- Thank you immensely for your patience mates on this episode!

    The Butcher of Aberdeen | Katherine Knight & John Price (Australian True Crime)

    Listener discretionThis is a confronting episode. It involves graphic violence.I keep the tone respectful, but it’s still a hard listen — so please take care of yourself while you’re hearing it. If you or someone you know needs support in Australia, you can contact 1800RESPECT (24/7). 💜💜💜Welcome Legends! 💜💜💜Tonight’s episode is one of the heaviest I’ve ever covered on Stories Fables Ghostly Tales — a case from Aberdeen, New South Wales (NSW) in the Hunter Valley, known widely in Australian true crime as “The Butcher of Aberdeen.” This is the story of Katherine Knight and John Price, and the events that unfolded across late February 2000 into March 1, 2000 — a 2000 murder case that remains one of the most infamous and confronting examples of New South Wales crime in modern memory. And I want to be really clear before you hit play:This episode isn’t here to sensationalise anything. It’s here to bear witness — and to show how domestic violence and coercive control can build quietly, behind closed doors, until the consequences become irreversible. What we cover in the episodeIn this one, The Tale Teller takes you through the full arc — not just the headlines — including: A grounded look at Aberdeen NSW and the Hunter Valley setting, and why this case shook a small town so deeply Who John Price was, and what people around him noticed in the lead-up The history of Katherine Knight, and the escalating violence that came before this relationship The relationship dynamic — intimidation, control, threats, and the warning signs of coercive control The final days before the murder, including the AVO / restraining order and why leaving is often the most dangerous moment The night of the crime (Feb 29 / March 1, 2000) and what investigators walked into The court outcome in NSW, including life imprisonment without parole The aftermath, and why this remains one of the most infamous Australian homicide cases ever recorded A closing reflection on why domestic violence should never be treated as a “private matter” Katherine Knight was later held at Silverwater Women’s Correctional Centre, and this case remains a grim reference point in True Crime Australia — not because of spectacle, but because it forces a conversation people still avoid. The Town of Aberdeen Australia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aberdeen_NSW_banner.JPG Thank you for being here, truly. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜For supporting the show, for listening with care, and for backing storytelling that doesn’t treat real people like entertainment. I’m your Tale Teller…and I’ll see you in the next one. 🖤

    KERRYN TATE: 46 Years Too Late

    What happens when a case goes cold — but because time got there first.... Because in true crime, some stories don’t stay unsolved due to a lack of effort.They stay unsolved because the world simply didn’t have the tools to hear what the evidence was trying to say. This week on Nocturne Files: True Crime, we step into the case of Kerryn Tate — last seen in daylight in Mount Lawley in 1979, and found the following morning in bushland near Karragullen. For decades, her case lived inside a gap.A small window of time where everything changed… and nobody could explain how. Cold cases aren’t only about what we don’t know.They’re about what stops moving. Leads that run out.Witnesses who forget.Details that soften at the edges.A file that stays open — but never progresses. And yet, sometimes… the future shows up. Not with a confession.Not with a dramatic reveal.But with science — patient, methodical, unromantic science — finally catching up to a question that’s been waiting for years. This episode explores that shift. Not with sensationalism or shock-value detail, but by sitting with what it means when an answer arrives late — and how a name can change the weight of silence, even when there’s no courtroom ending. Because some truths don’t arrive loudly.They arrive slowly.Piece by piece.Over decades. That’s all I’ll say for now. Thank you for being curious.And thank you for being willing to sit with the unresolved parts — with care. 💜💛 You're all amazing, and thank you so much for your fantastic support! 💜💛 Grateful as always you living legends!!! And here's to more True Crime Episodes just around the corner.... — Your Tale Teller

  8. The Joan Bernal Case: No Body, No Crime?

    JAN 4

    The Joan Bernal Case: No Body, No Crime?

    🕯️ A Question at the Heart of This EpisodeThere’s a quiet question that sits at the centre of this week’s episode. What happens when someone disappears — and never comes back — but there’s no crime scene, no physical proof, and no clear ending? In true crime, these are known as no-body cases. And they’re some of the most unsettling stories we encounter, not because they’re dramatic, but because they’re incomplete. No-body cases aren’t about what we can see.They’re about what stops happening. Phone calls that never come.Routines that never resume.Lives that simply… pause, and never restart. For a long time, silence is treated as uncertainty. But as years pass, that silence begins to take on a different weight. It stops feeling neutral. It starts to feel deliberate — or interrupted. This episode explores that shift. Not with graphic detail or courtroom theatrics, but by sitting with the idea that absence itself can tell a story, if we’re willing to listen long enough. No-body cases ask us to rethink what “evidence” really means. They challenge our instincts. And they remind us that some truths don’t arrive loudly — they arrive slowly, over time. That’s all I’ll say for now. Thank you for being curious.And thank you for being willing to sit with the unanswered. You're all amazing, and thank you so much for your fantastic support! — Your Tale Teller
