  • Clear Window into History

    This show is great for those who are nerds interested in stories and the ways in which humans tell stories. In addition, if you are a fan of The Thrilling Adventure Hour Podcast, you will likely enjoy these stories as well.

    You should note, however, that because these stories are from the 1930s to the 1950s, there may be language or ideas which do not reflect certain social and cultural progresses we have made here in the 21st century.
