Good sound quality for the first 28 episodes, and I'm assuming the rest are fine. Broadly drawn characters without much nuance navigate the predictable plot, with the occasional unforeseen twist. The acting is quite good. Speed is always enthusiastic and Barney is overflowing with bad jokes and exclaiming "sufferin' whangdoodles!" Clint is played by Howard McNear, who went on to be Doc in (the superior radio version of) Gunsmoke, and Floyd the Barber on Andy Griffith. If you are amused by the first episode, and the threat posed to the world by the villainous Octopus intrigues you, you'll enjoy the rest. I like it.

Fantastic adventure, with more tiwst and turns than any go-go dancer I've ever seen. Good acting and good plot. A bit long, but good.

It does seem a bit long but I listen to a few episodes whenever I find time. Mixing Speed in with some of the other OTR shows makes it seem like I'm back in the "old days". Well worth listening too.

There were some slow episodes, but 70 years is a long time to expect something to be thrilling for its entire length. As stated below, if you like the first episode, then this will be a nice diversion for you. It is five of five stars for what it sets out to do, but since some OTR is indeed timeless, 4 of 5 is more appropriate considering all available OTR shows.

This is a good serial to have on your iPod for those long car trips or train rides or any other time/place where the 15 minute format would help time pass faster than just listening to music or NPR podcasts. An mp3 disc of this series would be a great inexpensive gift for a young boy about Speed's age (approximately 8-12 years old). Another gift idea is to burn the episodes onto 36 compact discs, 5 per disc, then send the discs one at a time, every 10 days, for a year, like a subscription. 44 1/2 hours of action!

Now after school my grandson comes over and we listen to two episodes a night before he goes to bed. Kudos to all who have made this possible.
