OldTimeRadio Great Detectives App Reviews

I highly recommend this podcast. The content is enjoyable and the host is good. You will find many hours of entertainment with this podcast. But I can no longer recommend this app. It used to be a surprisingly user friendly and very functional app. This no longer holds true. Therefore, I would suggest you either enjoy this podcast via a different podcast player (Overcast or Downcast-both very good) or directly through the shows website. Again, this is a great podcast I highly recommend but for so many reasons not worth listing, I do NOT recommend the app.

Ive been listening to Adams podcast for about six months using Stitcher. Its the best OTR podcast. I recently downloaded this app to start way back at the beginning and listen to stuff Adam put out five years ago. My current favorite show is "Box 13." App works great, enjoy it!

Adams knowledge of OTR is very impressive, and the nuggets of information he shares adds to the fun. I started listening around episode 700, and started from the beginning after getting the app. Being all caught up now (with a break to listen to all of The War; also great), its interesting to hear how the program has changed over time. I love all the shows to one degree or another, with a special spot in my heart for Philip Marlow; if Im ever in a jam, I want that tough but tender guy on my side. Thanks Adam for all you do. Can I put one vote in for a Green Llama episode? I heard an ad on a show once and thought "That Ive gotta hear.... ". Im imagining a combination of The Green Hornet and Mr. Mojo; how far off base am I? Thanks again. Nancy in the Chicago area.

I just want to listen to the program.

Love the app and shows. So glad I am able to catch up on the years Of shows I missed. Wish I had discovered it sooner. I wish there was a way to listen to the shows from the first to the most recent though on continuous play without having to scroll through thousands of files. Or perhaps there is a way and I just havent found it!! Love Adams insights and commentaries!

The update on this crashes will not load on iPad Air.

For about the past month the app continually crashes making the app unusable.Too bad I used to enjoy Adams commentary after each episode.

I love this app. The variety is great and Adam is insightful. Only minor issue was for a bit it randomly logged off, but reinstall fixed that. Johnny dollar is my current favorite, and I decided to listen from the start. Perfect for when I pull dish duty at work.

Am an old time radio aficionado and have been for 30 years. This app has added to my enjoyment and ease of access.

Old time radio at its best. No filth, the good guy always wins. Great way to fall asleep.

Audio player keeps track of episodes youve listened to , not like other programs

This is the best podcast and the best app. I listen everywhere. I even go to sleep with it a lot of times. I love that they play in chronological order when possible, and Adams info is just the best. You learn a lot about the actors, the series and each podcast. Like I said, simply the best.

This app is great! Very flexible, lots of different shows and I like that I can choose when to listen to them. Adam is informative and responsive to his listeners.

Thanks so much for all of the detectives. Great to hear them in the order the shows were first broadcast (with a few warranted exceptions). If you know, your comments in each show could address how the actors connected with each other (easier on Dragnet certainly than on other shows), but also on how the show might or might not have connected with events and audiences back in the day. Jim Widner of Radio Detective Story Hour does an incredible job connecting shows into the genre of particular mystery authors and traditions. You dont need to repeat what is happening with that show. But, you extensive runs of shows allows you to feature a kind of socio-cultural commentary that is already present in your shows.

Originally I was downloading these podcasts from the website to my computer, then using iTunes to copy them onto my iPod. This is far, far easier and I like the interface. I only want to listen to episodes of Johnny Dollar, so I go to the list of available podcasts and filter on "dollar," then tap on the ones to download (while on wifi). I then go to the tab of downloaded podcasts to listen to one after another while Im walking the dogs or working in the yard. I havent figured out a setting to automatically erase podcasts Ive listened to, but thats a minor shortcoming.

Easy to navigate from oldest to newest or newest to oldest. You can stream OR download episodes for off-line listening. Keeps track of favorites and played vs unplayed. Even allows you to share episodes with friends. You also learn the background on these shows through Adams interesting commentary. If you are an old-time radio junkie, you need this app.

Being a baby boomer I got to enjoy a lot of really good detective shows back in the 50s and 60s. When I discovered the old-time radio detective shows on this channel I find I get to enjoy those same qualities of detective programs that I used to enjoy as a young girl. Johnny Dollar is my favorite but all the programs are terrific
