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!

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.

Dear Tony, you never disappoint!

I've been listening to Tony's various podcast for several years now, and I started because I loved that he did the bio on the author and the dive into exploring the story after narrating the stories. Just listened to his rendition of witness for the prosecution, and it was delightful! The story was great, as all Dame Agatha's are, the narration was delightful as always--accents included--and I loved the bit at the end where Tony talked about the different types of legal systems and his Victorian great grandma ruling the roost. Keep up the good work!
