Speaker 2: The Night's Counterspy program, originated in New York, was directed

Speaker 2: with music by Deasy Cropper. Counterspy is a Philip State
Speaker 2: Laurd production for Pepsicola. Enjoy Some pepsi Ice Cold Tonight,
Speaker 2: Welcome Back.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed Laura's character being really proactive and taking the
Speaker 1: story in a direction that you wouldn't have expected and
Speaker 1: it is up turning the tables on her boss. Of course,
Speaker 1: she had to be captured by Counterspy, but the story
Speaker 1: gave her that one moment of trying. There were few
Speaker 1: sound effects more satisfying than her breaking that record. To
Speaker 1: be clear, it's actually a fine piece of music from
Speaker 1: Act four of the opera Less Contest de Hoffmann at four.
Speaker 1: But I might not feel so warmly about it if
Speaker 1: I was having to listen to it on repeat for
Speaker 1: months on end as part of a somewhat creepy romantic advance.
Speaker 2: So the writer said, yeah, she's.
Speaker 1: Got to go to jail, but first we'll let her
Speaker 1: break the record. And the boss is the type of
Speaker 1: person who sets this whole elaborate system with the elevator
Speaker 1: but doesn't think about somebody coming through the terrace, which
Speaker 1: was a good improvisation by David Hardy. Peters might have
Speaker 1: wanted to know before he risked his life trying to
Speaker 1: get the elevator there. But then again, that's the type
Speaker 1: of thing you have to expect when we're looking for Counterspy.
Speaker 1: We have an email from Lawrence who rides High Adam
Speaker 1: and the last David Harding adventure that you played. They
Speaker 1: didn't provide a complete cast list, and this is in
Speaker 1: reference to the Courageous Come On, but I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: the only woman character in that episode was Mercedes McCambridge.
Speaker 1: She had such a unique and distinctive, distinctive voice continued success. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, appreciate the alment, and I think
Speaker 1: you might be right. When I first encountered Mercedes mc cambridge,
Speaker 1: it was through the series we played on The Great
Speaker 1: Detectives Defense Attorney, and there's a lot to that voice
Speaker 1: into that character. I think it's close to her natural
Speaker 1: performing voice, but she does very a little bit, and
Speaker 1: there are subtler characters she does and I find those
Speaker 1: hard to call for sure, but that would have been
Speaker 1: the right era for it. And then some comments on
Speaker 1: the same episode on Facebook Matthew Wrights, I love these,
Speaker 1: David said, Adam, thanks for the shout after the show
Speaker 1: this week, I remind listeners to be mindful of inflation
Speaker 1: and up their Patreons donations a couple bucks. I started
Speaker 1: at the seven fourteen level in twenty nineteen, and earlier
Speaker 1: this year I got to thinking that is not as
Speaker 1: much buying for The Great Detectives as it used to be.
Speaker 1: It was easy to go into the app and revise
Speaker 1: the number. Well, David, I appreciate that, and it's a
Speaker 1: fair point. The costco hot dog and the great detectives
Speaker 1: of old time Patreon memberships are things that you can
Speaker 1: get for the same price as you could back in
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Really appreciate folks who choose to increase their pledge,
Speaker 1: but it's certainly not an expectation I have. My goal
Speaker 1: is to find more Patreons, which helps out with inflation.
Speaker 1: There are some aspects of the Patreon program I'm going
Speaker 1: to look at or I would like to. We've not
Speaker 1: changed a whole lot in eleven years, and some of
Speaker 1: the goals and benefits that we had when we set
Speaker 1: up are rarely used and I don't think are particularly motivating.
Speaker 1: So that is on my big list of things that
Speaker 1: I would like to get to. But at any rate,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Appreciate your com thought, David. And
Speaker 1: now it is time to think our Patreon supporter of
Speaker 1: the day, and I want to thank Dinah, Patreon supporter
Speaker 1: since October twenty twenty five, currently supporting the podcast at
Speaker 1: the secret agent level of four dollars or more per month.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for your support, Donna, and that will
Speaker 1: do it for today. If you're enjoying the podcast, please
Speaker 1: follow us using your favorite podcast software and be sure
Speaker 1: who rate and review the podcast wherever you download it from.
Speaker 1: We'll be back next Saturday with another episode of Counterspy,
Speaker 1: but join us back here on Monday for the Great
Speaker 1: Detectives of Old Time Radio and the Saint. And join
Speaker 1: us back here on Tuesday for the Great Adventurers of
