These are great. A cool look back in time with the issues of the day and old ads. Some things never change. I enjoy these adventures as cheesy as they are. It translates well for a podcast. Steve is out to save the world or American interests. There’s always a “dame.” Adam’s post show recaps are enjoyable as well. Not all of the old time detective shows from the other series have a good sound mix. This one is generally good and easy to hear during a car ride. The studio orchestra can sometimes make you jump if you’re not watching the volume. Thanks for compiling these Adam.
