About Crime Classics

Crime Classics was a U.S. radio docudrama that aired on CBS from June 15, 1953, to June 30, 1954. Created, produced, and directed by Elliott Lewis, it explored historical true crime stories, from ancient Greece to 19th-century America, with a focus on murders and infamous cases. The show was known for its documentary-like approach, blending factual accuracy with light humor and irony, often through the narration of host Thomas Hyland (voiced by Lou Merrill). Scripts were written by Morton Fine and David Friedkin, with music by Bernard Herrmann, who used minimal instruments to evoke different eras. Notable episodes include "The Crime of Bathsheba Spooner" and "Good Evening, My Name Is Jack the Ripper." It’s praised for its witty tone, sharp writing, and atmospheric sound design, making it a gem of old-time radio.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
