  • So fun

    I’ve been tuning into this podcast for a number of years. I’m a big fan of OTR and Jack Benny specifically, I really enjoy the intros and the panel discussions that sometimes happen. Having background prior to listening to the episode really increases my enjoyment of the shows. Pairing Phil Harris/Alice Faye afterwards is a good mix too.

    The recordings are typically very clean and clear.

    Keep up the good work
