TCOT Playboy Pugilist
Hi April and Dee,
I listen to your podcast on Spotify and absolutely love it. I am a huge Perry Mason fan and also love the style, clothes, cars, background settings, decor, etc. found in this show.
Last night I was watching TCOT Playboy Pugilist Season 6 Ep 3 and wondered if you had covered this one yet? The characters are so interesting, also some bad overacting when the final reveal admits their guilt. I'd love to hear your take on the characters of Lori Richards and Jo Sands!
Thanks for brightening my day and my commute!

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 3 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:
Huston
After a 1968 television guest appearance, Huston paused her acting career for 17 years. Huston stated in an interview in the mid-1980s that she spent this hiatus primarily raising her son and working part-time jobs, at one point going on welfare. A program for welfare recipients led to Huston securing a job as a phone operator at an institution, where she eventually became an administrator.
