in particular our World War II podcast The War. The War is a
series that I did nearly a decade ago in preparation for the seventieth anniversary of
D Day, in which I put together a series that told the story of
America starting the pre war era, going through the war, and into the
post war era. And I use not only news programs but also comedy,
drama, and music to tell that story. You can find the whole series,
two hundred and seventy seven episodes at Thewar dot Great Detectives dot net,
and you can find all of our podcast series at the Great Detectives homepage at

of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. We're bringing you episodes one in two of the
serial today, but you can, if you so desire, hit pause now
and then listen to the entire Cereal Together tomorrow on Friday. But now,
from June eleventh and June twelfth, nineteen fifty six, here is The Laughing
Matter episodes one and two from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Doller.
Edrind said Johnny, Union State's scheduling company. Oh hi, ed, I
heard you were trying to reach me. Yes, indeed, Plaine leaves in
two hours for where in Sonata? It's a pot on the west coast of
Mexico. Yeah, I know it. I know. I've been there.
Johny Burton is down there, Johnny, you know the big nightclub TV comic.
You know, good old, lovable boyish Johnny. I've seen his show.
Who hasn't really keeps you screaming? Doesn't he? Oh? He is
a killer. So what do I do? Go out there and scream it
up for him, Go out there and keep him alive. Someone's threatened to
murder him one of the audience. Maybe No, wait, Jolly, this
is no Laughing Matter. Anything happens to Jolly Burton I cut my throat.
Hey, you really do like his show. We're carrying a half million dollars
worth of insurance on that boy tonight and every weekday night. Bob Bailey in
the transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed Expensive Out America's Fabulous freelance
insurance investigator Jaws Truly Johnny Dollar from Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the home office
Union State's Casualty Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of
expendit yours during my investigation of the Laughing matter. I am one two hundred
and twenty dollars and fifes transportation by scheduled airline to San Diego Incidental's there and
charter plane for a flight eighty miles south into Mexico to win Sonata. Item
two a dollar ninety taxi from the plowed ground airstrip to the Corrara marble foyer
of the plush Babo Beach Hotel. The contrast was typical en sonatas two towns
real. The tourist town is a glittering belt of pseudoswank resorts around the south
end of the bay. Bald headed men in flowery sports shirts and fat women
in shorts, loaded down with cameras, souvenirs, and US dollars. The
loafing town and next to it, the rows of warehouses and docks, the
fishing fleets and freezer plants, narrow dirt streets and slums, soft eyed Mexicans
and the gentle, liquid sound of Spanish native town, the working town.
Two different ways of life and no bridge of understanding between. The executive producer
of the Charlie Burton Show, a man named Frank Maltz was in my room
five minutes after I checked in. Glad to know you, mister dollar.
He was probably in his middle forties, but looked older. Haggard, pressured
a little, battered around the edge of us. He might not have his
alcer yet, but he was sure working on one. Didn't waste much time
getting here. Well, that phone call of yours got them pretty upset back
there in heart. I meant for it. Have you called in the local
authorities, mister Malts. It wouldn't have done any good. Charlie'd have blown
his stop and had him thrown out, Good old lovable Charlie. Yes,
he doesn't know you phoned hard for Nope, he just stopped me if he'd
known, why does he want to die? Oh? He says he's had
murder threats before crank letters. He wouldn't take it seriously, But you do.
Is that it? I didn't figure it was up to me to decide.
As I understand it, mister Maltz. There was a note of some
kind slipped under Burton's door. That's right. I'll tell me about it when
you all right. Yesterday evening, after we came back from shooting some scenes
around the bay, he went to our room, shower, clean up for
dinner. When Charlie started to leave his room, he saw the note.
Where is his room? Fourth? One on on the terrorst to the left.
All our rooms open under this same terror. You still have that note?
No, Charlie tore it up after he read it. Did he show
it to anybody? Yes? To me. It was on stationary from the
hotel here. It was in pencil and crudely printed. Remember the wedding.
Oh yes, it said only the gods are immortal Burton, as you'll soon
find out, you'll never leave en Sonata alive. Kind of an odd way
of putting it, I thought so myself. Now, anyone who might use
that style of phrasing. No, I'm afraid not all right, what else,
mister Maltz, Nothing else? Those are the facts. Anything happened since
the note? Not as far as I know. Burton could be right,
of course, the whole thing may be a hoax. Yeah maybe, but
that's for you to decide, not me. What do you know who might
think they had a reason to kill him? Ah ha, I think I'll
let you form your own conclusions on that. Oh, thanks, mister Malts.
That's very thoughtful. All right, I'm sorry. I realize I haven't
given you much to go on. I can't help it, Dolla. That's
all I know about I see. We'll talk to the others, see what
they know about it. Others. I was thinking mainly of Gloria Dale and
Al Schreiber, and there's Charlie himself. Of course, suppose you brief me
on those other two. All right. Gloria Dale's the feminine lead. Yeah,
I've seen her on Teva probably it's been with a show for three years.
She's in her late twenties, she's single, she's gorgeous, she's a
terrific sense of coming. How does she get along with all lovable Charlie good
question. Maybe she can give you an answer to it. I don't ask
her. And who is that other one you mentioned? Al Schreiber. He's
a young newcomer. He's been with a show six months now, a real
talent if he were ever given a chance to show it. Why isn't he
given a chance? Because on the Charlie Burton show, my friend, there
is one and only one staring, namely, good whole lovable boys, Charlie
Ball. You've been reading the press release now, as a matter of fact,
I have all right? Who else? No, that's all, at
least all that mattered. The camera crew, the technicians were set up from
Tchudaubusco in Mexico City. They never heard of Charlie Burton before, and we
haven't had much of any contact with anyone here in town. Now. I
think that note was written by somebody right here in the family. That's another
reason I sent for you instead of the local police. Just why did you
send for me? Mister Maltz? What do you mean? How do you
feel about Charlie Burton? Haven't you guessed more or less? I think,
well, I'll spell it right out for you, mister Dollar. I hate
his guts and what do you care whether he's murdered or not. Yeah,
I'd get rolling drunk to celebrate it. And yet you're the one who phoned
an Sos to heart. Well, sure, if Burton does get it,
I want an expert around. Somebody will tag the right party for the crime
a matter of justice? Is that him? Why not? Because it's usually
just a word people talk about. What they really want is to win.
Is that what you want, mister Moltz. Very funny you ought to go
on television. No, I'm waiting till they perfect it. I feel the
same way about murder. So the legend of lovable Charlie was starting to crack.
One person at least didn't love him, Frank Maltz as executive producer.
And there was something else besides hateen Frank Maltz's eyes, a weariness or bitterness,
something I couldn't quite place. I filed the thought for the moment,
took time to shower and change, and went looking for another pair of eyes,
prettier pair, and I found them alone on the terrace with their owner.
They would turned toward the west, toward the last golden edge of the
sun as it sank into the Pacific they were big and blue, very lovely.
Hello there, how are you, miss Dale? I'm Johnny Dollar.
I just got in from Hartford and I've been talking with Frank Maltz. Oh
you must be with the advertising sponsor. Oh I'm an insurance investigator. Yes,
I'm here in regard to that threatening note that mister Burton received. Oh
you've heard about it then, Oh, we all heard about it interminably from
burtany me? Who else? Oh? He paced and posed and beat his
breast. He wept and stormed and shouted at us, harangued, accused,
and monologued us our base ingratitude. After all he'd done for us, done
to us, He should have said, one of us, a viper in
his bosom, should stoop to such a practical joke, on good old luck.
If it was a practical joke, what are you doing down here?
You think it was a joking? Stale? I don't. But Charlie himself
said, do you mean somebody really meant that threat? Maybe? Well,
what do you know any ideas to who might have written? In? Sure?
Anybody who knows him? Is he that bad? Actually, mister Dollar,
you've heard the expression horrid old man? Well, if Charlie Burton worked
for years to improve himself. I mean really tried. Eventually he might lift
himself up high enough to be a horrid old man. Well, if it's
like that, why do you stick around? Why do I? Because I
signed a contract last year during an emotional crisis, and it's got two more
years to run. Break it, bring the little clean air for a change.
I'd be dead professionally, and that's about all I've got in life now.
Professional career such as it is, same thing applied to Frank Maltz yep.
Contract Executive producer is just a title. Charlie Burton Show is owned by
Charlie Burton, lock stock, barrel, and the souls of the employees something
of the dictator egomaniac. He's a pre adolescent paranoid with the ethics of a
rattlesnake and the jealous instincts of a Turkish harem master. Forgive me, mister
Dollar. I had that line and a play once, but it still fits
in Tell me the truth, Miss Dale? Did you write that note?
I'm a female comic, mister Dollar, So who can right out here?
Al on the terrace? Al Triber, Have you met him yet? No?
But I've got him on the list that may turn out to be quite
a list before you throw downstairs bard seven, Honey, that's what you said
downstairs Bard seven. I know I'm going in and change right now. Oh,
this is Johnny Daller al Triber, glad to see mister Dollar is an
insurance investigator. He's here about that murder threat. Charlie, God, you
mean that note was for real? Could be well? Happy days? Maybe
this hope for us? Yet allowness to Ali's making a list, Sweetie,
I'd be proud to confess. Only I didn't think of the idea. And
besides, I'm a coward. Did either of you actually see that? Knows?
No? But we heard about it, so I understand it. How
does insurance figure in this? You mean some company actually wrote a policy on
that earthworm to the tune of a half million bucks? Only, Hannah,
Who's he worth that much to his sponsor? The advertising client? A doubt?
If it's personal. Really, they're just protecting their investment in the show
A half million fish for Afonio, fake aways in it a fast thirty cents
same. Maybe they're out to kill them and make a proper for themselves.
Yeah, put them on the list, and I take it here in the
club too. Club, at least you're not wearing a love Charlie Burton button.
Oh, sir, all I am, ever was, or hoped to
be in any future life, all I have ever had, or expect to
have at any time, notwithstanding before going to supersede any previous statement, and
irregardless of any utterance made hereafter, I owe it its entirety and without any
any reservation whatsoever, to my one and only benefactor. That's sterling, magnanimous,
warm hearted, genial. I'll bet you think I'm only saying that because
it's in my contract. Did you write the note down? I don't know
what to say until I checkled my writers. Yeah, I have the same
problem with my underwriters. Say that's not bad, mister Dollar. You know
you want to try to tell me. I'm waiting till they perfected. Ride
them three eighty cents one drink. I had it sent from the bar and
sat on the terrace alone and drank it. I watched the sun die in
the west and let the soft night creep out of the hills of Mexico and
sink down over me in gentle foes. Then I saw a man slip from
the shadowed shrubbery and move cautiously up to terrace, a pale ghost dressed in
the white cotton of a pan worker. As I came quietly to my feet,
a girl ran from inside somewhere, clung to him, and stopped him.
They argued fiercely for a moment and guarded Spanish. Then the man turned
and saw me and vanished into the darkness of the hotel gardens. The girl
faced me for an instant, her eyes like frightened doves. Then she too
turned and fled. But I'd recognize it. She was a hotel maid who'd
brought ice to my room when I first arrived. So it was a lover's
meeting, most likely. And yet the man before she stopped him had been
heading across the terrace toward Charlie Burton's room. Johnny Dollar, this is mister
Dollar. Oh yes, I was hoping you'd come out of seclusion. Seclusion.
I arrived in Ansonnada at four o'clock this afternoon. It's now ten PM,
and I still haven't been able to see the man I'm supposed to protect.
I did not invite you here, mister Dollar. I do not need
any protection. Well, my insurance company doesn't agree with you, and they've
got a half million dollars riding on your life. But my life is not
been threatened that note. It was a mere bit of buffoonery prepretated by one
of those nearest and dearest to me, one of those to whom I have
unstintingly devoted my knock it off Burton. I know the good old lovable Charlie
legend, and I've seen your TV show. Look, are you gonna talk
to me or do I were my company to cancel your policy and notify your
sponsor that you've refused to co operate with us. It's a dollar. You
make them down to my room in ten minutes. I'll be there in an
hour, Burton, you wait on me for a change. From Special Investigator
Johnny Dollar location in Sonata, Mexico to the home office Union States Casually Company,
Hartford, Connecticut assignment. The Laughing Matter expense account continued. It am
five a dollar and forty cents taxi from the hotel in the village to the
Commandancia Police on Fronty Avenue. I wanted to run down one of the maids
at the hotel, A girl named Velena Morales. I'd seen her in the
hotel terrace shortly after dark, near Charlie Burton's room, seen her arguing with
some man who had managed to slip away from me in the darkness. Captain
Barrel said he'd checked with me later and politely avoided asking what it was all
about. If he had, I couldn't have told him. The Charlie Burton
comedy show was on location at Ensinata, Mexico, and Frank Maltz, the
producer, had frantically phone Hartford and claimed Burton's life had been threatened. Burton
thought it was a practical joke. Maltz didn't know needed to die. But
I was there to find out you are, mister John Dollar. I assume
you couldn't assume any correcter mind if I come in, well means do thanks?
I am Charles Burton. Mister, Yeah, I know. I've seen
your face in a number of saloons. I beg your pardon on their television
sets. Ah, yes, of course. Well sit down, mister Dollar.
I just did so, I noticed, and I don't imagine you'll be
here long enough for me to have some things sent up from there. Oh,
I'm sure I will. I'll have Scotch on the rocks double. I
see room service. Please, is mister Burton in Sweet d Please send up
one Scotch on the rocks double, make it double? Oh just a moment
please. By the way, mister dollar, what is your room number?
I can't seem to remember it at the moment. Why don't you just charge
it to yours and then bill me for it later if you think your room
service, cancel that order. Yes, I said, cancel it. I
will not tolerate this high handed attitude from a hireling, sir, but not
your hireling Burton. Now, let's get a few things straight right now.
From what I've heard about you up to now, I don't like you.
And when I get to know you're better and like it or not, and
I certainly do not, And there's nothing you can do about it. Try
throwing your weight around with the insurance company and they'll cancel your policy. And
if that happens, you will have sponsor trouble right up to your neck.
If you think, I think you're not going to let it happen, Burton,
you can't afford to, So cut out the kidding and let's get on
with it. You know, I like you Dollar, You're so uninhibited,
I'm going to buy you that. Oh sorry, why not? I didn't
want it in the first place. It was only a way to get your
goat break down that phony guard. But have one yourself, though. Drinking
is not one of my advices. Oh so that explains. It explains what
it wasn't one of Hitler's vices either, So delightfully insulting, you know,
one can highly take offense too bad. I'd hope for better results. Would
you mind telling me just who exactly is responsible for this prejudiced opinion you have
of me? Well, as I remember, it was fairly unanimous. I
know you talked to Frank Maltz. Malt of course, is bitter because he
hasn't been given complete control of my show, or any control away. I
hear it. As long as it's the Charlie Burton show, mister Dollar,
Charlie Burton intends to run it. Only the gods are immortal? Isn't that
what the murder threat said? I'll get to that. Then there's Gloria Dale
leading Lady Dear Gloria. I suppose she told you I've treated her very badly,
practically forced her to sign a contract that pays us several thousand dollars a
week. A hideous fate, Actually it could be. And al Schreiber did
he mention the fact that I took him out of a forty year week burlesque
house and taught him the subtleties of high class, big time comedy, things
that I had spent a lifetime perfectly. Look, Burton, if you're trying
to convince me of your fine, sterling character, forget it. It's irrelevant.
I'm here because here because of that note. That's exactly what I'm getting
at. You think it was written by one of those three people, don't
you write? And I agree with you, But you also take the threat
seriously. I don't Why not, because not one of them has any reason
to kill me. Yes, I know how they talk. They're underpaid all
the work. The boss is a tyrant. They hate him the same old
pattern, and that kind of talk never leads to murder. Mister Dollar.
Yeah, you've got a point there. I guess that note was brushed under
my door yesterday as a crude attempted a joke, nothing else. Then Maltz
lost his head and had you sent down here from Hartford, and the whole
thing has become ridiculous. You may be right, well, are you sure
you won't have that drink? No? No thanks. Oh, by the
way, there's a maid at the hotel here. I believe she works all
the rooms along the terrace. Here, a small girl, very pretty,
with her short, curly hair. Oh, yes, yes, yes,
Vilina, or you've noticed it, then quiet? I find her utterly charming.
Would you happen to know whether she's married? I really didn't bother to
ask. Does it matter not to me? But it might to her husband.
You are determined, aren't you. There must be some reason why you're
so scared. Scared you do have a preposterous imagination. Good night, mister
Dollar. It wasn't my imagination. Burton was scared, or worried or upset.
At any rate. Something was bothering him, But at the moment he
was covering up for some and there was nothing more I could do to push
him. So I gave up for the time being and went back to my
room. But I wasn't ready for sleep, and the terrace outside my windows
lying empty, and the moonlight seemed inviting, and even more so the sound
of breakers one hundred yards beyond. I followed a winding path through the hotel
gardens and came out of the sandy coal and the right founder Gloria Dale,
sitting on the sea worn rocks by the water's edge, with a bottle beside
her, getting quietly drunk. You've discovered my guilty secret, mister Dollar.
And I've only got one glass. It's that or the bottle. I'll share
the glass with you if it's all right. Sure, there you are.
Thanks. Here's to the moon people. I see him real close tonight,
Dan, Yeah, they'll be dancing out there in the water by midnight.
I think you're as crazy as I am. Crazy. You're not even in
the same league. I'm glad you came. I go sort of nuts on
moonlight nights by myself. Hey, what happened a while? Won't you two
together? I send him off to bed. He gets a little wearing Sometimes
he's real going on you, isn't he? I guess so and you.
He's a good guy. I like him a lot. He's fine, but
no click huh, no clicks and better click. He's a kid. You're
drinking it straight, you know, help yourself. What are you trying to
do to yourself, Gloria, learn to forget, forget the emptiness, hollowness.
There's nothing in me anymore except the hate. Of course, there's plenty
of hate for Charlie Burton. For Charlie. Do you hate him enough to
kill him? You've always got your eye on the ball, haven't you missed
a dollar? More less? Would you like to tell me about this emptiness?
No? I don't think so. All right? Why not? Though?
It's the edge of the land and the edge of the sea, and
you're from the moon, and you'll go back there at dawn, So why
not? Here's to the moon? Makes people crazy? Hey, save that
one for me? Here you are? Yeah, just leave it there.
So well, a year ago, my contract was up and I was leaving
the show and I was about to be married. Jerry's name was and he's
the only man I ever really loved. Burton was furious, so I was
letting him down. I was ungrateful, but he couldn't stop me because my
contract was up. And one morning I got a note from Jerry special delivery.
We were through witsheid Why no explanation, just a cold, vicious note.
That same morning, Jerry left with a friend charted a plane and went
to Canada on hunting trip, and you didn't find out the reason for it
later. Yes, at the time I was hurt. I was terribly hurt.
I signed a new contract and went on working. Months later I got
the story around about what was it? A private detective, one of the
crooked ones had gone to Jerry with a complete report about me, supposedly my
private life. Field reports after David's statements, even photographs, a fake,
the whole thing. But it convinced Jerry. You know who was behind it.
I can guess your good, old, lovable Charlie Burton. He wanted
to make sure I'd sign that contract. But when you did find out,
why didn't you go to Jerish? I could have then hunting trip. The
plane crashed, Jerry never came back, he was killed. It's crazy,
Oh easy, sweet? Do I hate Charlie Burton enough to kill him?
That's what you asked me, wasn't it sure? I hate him enough?
A thousand times enough? I mean, I haven't got the nerve. So
what do I do? I drink Gloria? Help me get back there,
please, Johnny, what do you do? Love and Hate and the Black
Sea rocks and a lunatic's moon at midnight, and no help on this earth
for a wounded heart, but time itself. A tide was rising now and
rising fast, and hidden by the darkness. A wave curled and broke,
and time ran out. I lunged out of bed and fumbled in the blacks
from our robe and slippers and gun. Yeah, who is it, Tolly
Burton? Open up? Hurry Dollar, You've got to protect me. Somebody
took a shot at me through my window from the terrace. Oh, it
was probably just a crue, practical joke, joke joke. This is no
laughing matter, don't you understand, Dollar, somebody's out to kill me.
Now, here's our star to tell you about tomorrow's intriguing episode of this week's
story. Tomorrow a thickening web, clinging and sticky, but one of the
flies pulls free by using a gun. Join us, won't you yours truly?
Johnny Dollar? Yours truly? Johnny Dollar is starring Bob Bailey, is
transcribed in Hollywood, written by Less Crutchfield. It is deuced and directed by
Jack Johnstone. Be sure to join us tomorrow night, same time in station
for the next exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar Roy Rowan speaking welcome back.
It's an interesting setup and we've got some solid dramatic performer and says with
a lot of people having reasons to hate Charlie. There was a bit of
skip in the audio and episode two, so we missed like a little a
second aliast that appears to be in all the copies of this episode out there.
So sorry about that, but I don't think we miss much. I
think we know exactly what Johnny Dahler said in the missing portion. A quick
word on the question I asked a few weeks back about how listeners discovered the
podcast, and I want to thank everyone who sent in a response that answered
the question and really provided some good feedback. There were a couple of big
things that stood out. The first is that nearly every response indicated that you've
found us through your own searches. I didn't receive any artist from anyone who
said I heard you from this podcast that you advertised on where I found you
through a newsletter you advertised in. So it suggests to me that those type
of efforts which I've done in the past are not particularly effective. Now I
should add that we did get a couple of free promotions or both iHeartRadio and
Amazon Music ran ads for our podcasts, and the numbers show that we had
some success with those of your a major platform, and you're willing to run,
you know, thousands of free ads for my podcast, I will certainly
work with you on that, but it's a guest to me that I need
to work as much as I can on search engine optimization stuff, and any
sort of promotional budgets probably need to be geared that way. Now. Of
course, the nice thing about you know, search of octimization things is there
are a lot of tips and tricks you can learn on your own, although
that does take some time. The second thing that stood out is that taple
searches were often spurred by experience with either terrestrial or satellite radio that piqued their
interest and they wanted to learn more, and that's how they found the podcast.
Obviously, as someone said, there's not a whole lot that I can
do with that, although I have to say definitely has caused me to think
a little bit about radio, and I've loved the idea of doing radio,
but it's really seemed to me like the opportunity to do some new syndicated old
time radio program, or really any sort of radio drama program is not readily
available, as so many existing programs have been pushed more and more to like
Wee Hours of the Morning. Although I was surprised to find out that someone
was actually able to get a syndicated a radio program on the air, mister
Wyatt Hawks and his Classic Radio Theater, which I believe went on the air
in twenty fifteen and stayed on the air until this past June, where he
had to stemp aside from it, he was doing three programming hours per day,
seven days a week. It just astounds me. I could not do
that pace. But if I could find something maybe a little bit or a
lot less intensive, I'd definitely be open to considering the right opportunity, because
I think that radio may have been a bit more viable than I gave it
credit for even in the twenty first century. Well, now we turn to
listener comments and feedback, and we start with an email from Carrie who writes
regarding Johnny Doller the Matter of reasonable Doubt. In my opinion, that was
one of the most well written and well acted episodes I've ever heard from Johnny
Dollar. I liked the character Susan because, unlike most sixteen year old girls,
she seems bright, intelligent and has a good sense of what's going on
and a good feel for other people's characters. Not playing a victim. She
was actually insightful and very helpful to Johnny, which made her a great character.
Keep up the good work, love listening, Carrie, Well, thank
you so much, Carrie, and I appreciate the comment. And while we
talk a lot about reuse scripts in the Johnny Dollar serials, it's important to
note that there were a lot of original stories. Now those coming from John
Dawson aka E. J. Newman were mostly recycled, but a great many
of the less crutch Field scripts we're not based on any prior story as far
as we can tell, and certainly that's the case with this one, and
I think he definitely did a good job on it. And again the rest
of the production team was outstanding as well. Then we turned to YouTube where
Stolen Symphony Rights. Is your accent truly like this? Well, I'll say
a couple of things. I have been advised that I have a different voice
for the podcast, but I don't think it's dramatically different, and it's not
something where I kind of sit down and make a decision. Okay, this
is the affectation I'm going to use for the podcast. The way I talk
as I'm recording the podcast is automatic, so really it's natural. I don't
think it's all that different normal speaking voice. So your answer is, yes,
this is not some affectation on my part. And then I have a
comment on podbean mailbox. You know rights, I hate having to wait till
Friday, but glad you upload early, great sound quality. Do you still
need an app maker? And the answer, of course is yes, we
still need an app maker, specifically for getting the podcast onto the Roku and
Kindle Player, where I think we can reach an audience that's a bit more
untapped. So if anyone out there designs apps for those specific devices, or
you know somebody who is all of that, I would love to hear from.
You. Already have apps for Apple, and then we have an Android
app that's available in the Amazon App Store or Android phones, but really would
love to get onto the smart TVs. And then we have a review in
the Apple podcast or this one from McGill zero six and the right appreciate all
the work you do to present quality product. Well, thank you so much.
Appreciates you taking the time to write a review. Now it's time to
thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and I want to thank Sarah.
Sarah has been one of our Patreon supporters since March twenty seventeen, currently supporting
the program at the shamous level of four dollars or more per month. Thank
you so much for your support, Sarah, And that will do it for
today. If you're enjoying the podcast, please follow us using your favorite podcast
