Listener Email:

So glad I found this podcast!

I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying this podcast. I love listening to you 2 sisters talk about the episodes, you seem like such nice people and are really relaxing to listen to. I enjoy all the little facts and observations you bring into the discussion. I remember as a little girl, hearing my parents watching Perry Mason after my bedtime. The music was so intriguing and I longed to be able to get up and watch, too! Of course as I was growing up the reruns were always on to watch and I still enjoy the episodes now I'm in my late 60's. The characters and plots were great. Keep up the good work, it's such a nice podcast to listen to!

Dee Spills the Tea:

The address that Latimore gives Mason for actor-posing-as-gambler Lou Caporale is 1040 Las Palmas. This address appeared in TCOT Crying Cherub and is used again in TCOT Lavender Lipstick. 1040 N. Las Palmas Los Angeles, CA 90038, is the address of what is now Sunset Las Palmas Studios. In the 50's it was called General Service Studios, and you guessed it… this is where the show was filmed.

Two goofs!

A technician claims to have found the print of an unknown person's right forefinger on the murder weapon. There is, in fact, no way to determine which finger an unidentified fingerprint came from.

Mr. Bates had no right to contact Finchley in the hospital. Once a client is represented by counsel, the insurance man is forbidden to contact the injured party and has to work directly with counsel.
