TCOT Podcast Episode 061 - Lost Last Act

Season 2 - Episode 21

Originally aired - March 21, 1959

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 an episode from season 2 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.
