  • Great shows

    Great content! Thank you JD for all of the great stories. Nothing like the old radio shows. They take me back to the good old days. When times were simple and people used their imagination more. I love Halloween and this is fun to listen to while I’m anticipating the spooky fall season. Thanks again and take care. Much appreciation.
