I was gifted an iPhone and I learned how Bluetooth worked and soon discovered podcasts of my “ old friends “ . For my money yours is the best ! I too love all the info about the news of the day , anniversaries of deaths and births. Since I am a history buff this is wonderful ! You, sir, will be sorely missed be this “ old curmudgeon “ . I wish you the very best with your health stru... more
I have enjoyed these programs for years. I am especially fond of the shows during the Christmas season. Mr. Cox always sounds so upbeat and pleasant. I am thankful that we will have the old podcasts to go back to. I really hope that Mr. Cox has a healthy rest and rejuvenation. Maybe in the future Wyatt can visit us with an update on how he is doing this Christmas season. I wish him the best and thank you for your time and efforts!!!!
I really enjoy how Wyatt brings history to the shows by reading news headlines from that day in history in the first hour and how he keeps us posted on celebrity birthdays and deaths. I really enjoy Johnny Dollar! All in all, an informative and entertaining show! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
No westerns for months now. Why?
I’d recommend this podcast to anyone! Old school clean entertainment at its best. Wyatt is great. The blend of the various genre is great.
