Season Three - Episode 17
Originally aired - Feb 27, 1960
The Case of the Podcast is a Perry Mason Fan Podcast. We love and enjoy episodes from a tv show from the late 1950’s and early 1960. It’s so old, it was filmed in Black & White.
This is the “random” episode from season three that we are choosing at random using a random number generator. We will be choosing our episodes this way season by season. We’re excited by this new process which will give each season a chance to shine.

Dee spills the tea
Here’s something interesting I found on IMDB. Fairly late in the show, Perry looks inside federal agent Richard Gilman's Buick. The registration on the steering column reads that the License No. is "NFL 252." This is the same license number as seen on Denver Leonard's registration in "The Case of the Prudent Prosecutor" (S3 / E14) (30 Jan 60). Denver Leonard's car was also a light-colored Buick convertible, and the street addresses for both characters were the same ("350 Sierra Rd."). Lastly, the word (which should be) "Convertible" is misspelled on both registrations. The word is spelled with an "a" (and not an "i").
Thanks IMDB for helping Dee spill the tea!
