The historical context provided enhances the shows so much. We’re very lucky to have someone doing research for us to level up not only our listening experience but also our understanding of history.
Could do with out the loud music during the narration, it’s distracting. Otherwise, I really enjoy it.
I can getOTR from any number of sources but I love the background interviews on this podcast.
Old Time Radio behind the scenes archive!!! This is gold! A compilation of interviews with stars, producers & directors, and pertinent portions of radio shows. It is not only entertaining and well crafted, but it’s an invaluable historical record. Everyone interviewed has been gone for so long; their genius is back on display. I am so impressed and loving it!!!
…the longer podcasts, I.e. over an hour, some as long as a couple hours, are really the best way to spend some of my time with my iPod. My old time radio hobby addiction can only be treated in this manner. Keep up the absolutely wonderful work producing these programs. Thank you very much.
