Down These Mean Streets

Classic radio detective stories and noir fiction explored through the lens of someone who genuinely loves the genre. The host digs into the history of detective storytelling, revisiting Chandler and Hammett and all the hardboiled legends through audio drama excerpts and cultural context. Wonderfully niche. If you love noir, this is a treasure. If you've never explored the genre, this is an excellent way in. The production has that atmospheric quality that fits the subject perfectly. Not a huge audience, but the people who find it tend to become devoted. Moody and smart.
