Show overview
Let George Do It – The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio has been publishing since 2009, and across the 17 years since has built a catalogue of 142 episodes. That works out to roughly 75 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence, with the show now in its 17th season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 33 min and 36 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Arts show.
There hasn’t been a new episode in the last ninety days; the most recent episode landed 4 months ago. The busiest year was 2010, with 52 episodes published. Published by Adam Graham.
