The Hidden Truth

(1,667 Sterne; 3 Bewertungen)
The Hidden Truth (1967-1969) Episodes of this radio program opened with “The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth—the hidden truth”. This South African program was based on the real-life cases of criminologist Leonard Keeler, co-inventor of the polygraph, or lie detector, machine. Hart Maguire played the part of Keeler, a man who could, literally, smell a lie. Refusing to be baffled by crime, he always finds what he is after: "The Hidden Truth."
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

One episode review - Old, superficial dish.

First of all, I can agree with both reviewers before me (ywv & Out of Stone). The quality can be redeemed, if one knows how to add equalizer, balance, and how to amplify sound (there are APPS and #freeware for such). I did my own remix, but still found it "not good in quality". The context, and I repeat: I only listened to the episode about Necromancy, Hypnotism, and Sorcery, is really crappiest, dumbest #CrimeFiction. It is not a supernatural series, but that doesn't excuse zero knowledge about the topics featured. It comes down to simple murder, and primitive (common) motives for such. The screaming is not entertaining either. What I appreciate nonetheless is the cross-cultural aspect. Nice to listen-in on works from other countries.
Interesting start then downward turn

The background and development of the lie detection is interesting. However the quality of the storylines varies greatly. Sometimes the lie detector isn't even used in the story. A lot of duplications.
Low bit-rate

Lousy, low-quality bit-rate ruins it - why the heck couldn't the uploader use a higher bit-rate? Unless, of course, these are merely ripped files from other web sources.
