    This is cool! Considering that Falk was visually impaired himself, it’s neat that you adapted Columbo in a way that blind fans could enjoy. :D

    WOW!! KM - that is such a cool insight! I'd not made that connection - about Peter Falk's glass eye (childhood ocular cancer, i think(?)) The real-life _"Mrs Columbo"_ / Shera Danese is 74 years young, and living in her hometown of Hartsdale, New York. :)

    Peter Falk would have had a good voice for radio, had they adapted "Columbo" for radio. I compare it to Casey Kasem, who I think would have made a nice second choice to play the detective.

Finally - if you enjoyed this programme, i humbly invite you to visit us online at projectwasabi.com - where you'll find more such audio dramas (true-crime documentaries as well) based on Columbo, Law & Order, Dragnet and others. A few of which are not found here on KZread, but only at projectwasabi.com If all goes well - the next audio drama _(another Columbo)_ premieres this Thanksgiving (Thursday, November 28, 2024). Thanks again, for the great start to my morning. Blessings! - BN

    DUDE - KEITH! I'm honoured; thanks man. I think this programme, *_Candidate for Crime,_* was my second such audio project(?) You'll notice I removed Larry Storch's cameo and the DMV Safety Inspector, and i took a few liberties with his encounter at the gas station. Shhh. Don't tell! ;-) I love Storch - but his scene was too difficult to convey in narration. LoL. Truth be known - or was a little far fetched on TV and darn near impossible (at least for me) to narrate in a way that would sound believable. Wherever Mr Storch is - respectfully, I hope he'll understand! If all goes well, our next programme is due out this Labor Day / 5 Sept. 2022. In the meantime, we invite you to check out our website ProjectWasabi.com where you'll find more titles not always available here on KZread.

    Picture Levison saying it to Link, or vice-versa. They were a mystery writing team, just like the two guys who created Mrs. Mellvllle. So I am picturing Levison saying, "Imagine if a mystery writer (a guy like me) wanted to kill his partner (a guy like you)." It seems to be art imitating life. This two-man mystery-writing team invented a two-man mystery-writing team and pitted them against each other. Presto - a premise for a Columbo episode.
