Like most of the limelight shows this one is excellent. Incredible how an audio medium can be such a vivid experience. Beats the hell out of what you can see on the Telly
Fabulous radio drama
Really enjoy the BBC4 radio series with The Dentist by BBC Scotland having me in hoots
I was looking for more podcasts that were clean. It was hard. I had listened to all of the GenZ media podcasts and a few other ones and then I FINALLY found Limelight!!
Limelight always seems like it’s an engaging show but ends up with some of the worst and half-baked endings that disappoint and really make you unsubscribe. The Wild valley in particular, the horrible apologetic for white supremacy and deeply propagandist. Just skip this dreck.
Wow! Just wow!
