Podcast #036 - Harry Whodunit #2!

"Harry Whodunit: The Mystery of the Spitball Ghost"

Start the New Year right with this Harry Whodunit mystery audio adventure!

Back in Episode 31, we mentioned Harry Whodunit as one of our favorite little-known bits of Evangelical pop culture. And in Episode 32, we played a digitized version of one of the two cassette sets we own.

And here is the second (and last) one ... with maybe not the best results in digitization from a 20+ year old audio cassette ... we present "The Mystery of the Spitball Ghost."

Photos of the cards that came with the cassette can be found here in the blog, in the prior entry. .
