    This goes under a category “I never realized”. I never realized how many entertaining radio shows there were “way back then” Our car came with a trial of Sirius radio. I started listening to Classic Radio.
    I was a child during the change over from radio to TV so I remember a few radio programs.

    What I didn’t realize is how many good radio shows there were. It was entertainment. You can’t beat television but still a lot of quality actors participated in the radio shows.

    So why did I write under this category? I started listening to the Classic Radio station and heard the words Archie and orchids. It was a Nero Wolfe story on the radio. Sydney Greenstreet was the actor. I remember reading a lot of Rex Stout’s mysteries during the 70’s.

    I had arrived at my destination when a new mystery started with Orson Welles. (not a Nero Wolfe mystery) I realized that I had under rated the entertainment value of the radio before the start of television.

      Lynn T, I’m sorry I didn’t know about old classic radio shows on Sirius back when I was chauffering my two children all over the place. They sound like fun. (My husband got XM radio before it merged with Sirius, but he just listened to music.)

    Has anyone thought of adding Arthur Upfield to the cozy list? His detective, Napoleon Bonaparte (Bony) is the Leaphorn of the Australian Outback. I’ve really enjoyed them, and learned a lot about the Aboriginal culture.

      I totally agree about Arthur Upfield. I just finished reading The Bachelors of Broken Hill- a fantastic book, yes, he should be on the list!
