Show overview
NBC – The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio has been publishing since 2024, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 230 episodes. That works out to roughly 130 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence, with the show now in its 48th season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 33 min and 37 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.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 38 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Adam Graham.
