  • Great show

    I listened to the show all the time. Tonight the host sounded very upset about something. I just want to say that I’m sorry for whatever happened. You’ll get through whatever it is. You do a great show! I never review. I just felt that need to say this.

  • At least one episode (Arsenic and Old Lace) seems to be narrated by AI. I skipped around and this episode is one of about three or four I played. It’s unlistenable. The other episodes where an actual human is reading are okay.
