Really enjoying revisiting the old Perry Mason episodes with you. Looking forward to my favorite The Terrified Typist

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 1 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.

Here come the Judge! (5 Little known facts about the judge Morris Ankrum)
1.     He was born Morris Nussbaum, then used the name Stephen Morris and finally changed it to Morris Ankrum. Okay I give up. Why? It seems a strange stage name. I like Stephen Morris.
2.     He didn’t become an actor until he was in his 30s.
3.     He was an attorney and an economics professor before switching careers and becoming an actor.
4.     He was featured as a judge in 22 episodes of Perry Mason.
5.     His final appearance on Perry Mason was in the episode "The Case of the Sleepy Slayer." It aired in 1964, after Ankrum’s death.

Where Do They Go From Here?:

 Did Nadine and Marian both inherit? But of course Nadine and John Locke got married.
