Classic Detective Stories - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This wonderful podcast features expertly read detective stories. So far, the selection of stories is excellent. As a long-time listener and “patron” of Tony’s superb ghost stories podcast, I was expecting a top-notch show, but this blew even my sky-high expectations out of the water. It is, hands down, the best new podcast that I discovered in 2023. If you love classical detective fiction, it’s an absolute must-listen!

I happened on Tony’s other podcast and developed a healthy habit of listening to these stories when winding down from work. Tony is an excellent narrator and I very much enjoy the rambling commentary. While amused by his terrible American accent, I haven’t been disappointed by the alternate narrators that he’s introduced. Honestly Tony has two of the best podcasts available for classic detective and ghost stories out there - I look forward to every new episode.

After having listened to his Classic Ghost Stories podcast for a year or so, I’m so glad to have found this podcast wherein Tony Walker narrates great detective fiction and then comments on it. He gives insight into the stories, their context, and their authors. It’s evident Tony puts a lot of time and effort into producing the podcast and lovers of classic detective stories won’t be disappointed. So cue them up and listen!

The selection of stories is excellent and the narration is extremely well done. If you like detective stories, you have to give this podcast a listen.
