  • I love this podcast but now I am worried

    I love everything about this podcast: the background information, the obvious love the podcaster has for the radio broadcasts, the high quality of the recordings, and the broadcasts themselves.

    But I am worried because my fave podcaster has gone silent for weeks 😳

  • Wonderful presentation of Suspense

    This show rocks. I am so happy to have found it. The host/podcaster has a wonderful voice and has researched the stars and the history of the show. I liked Suspense before, but this is a selection of great episodes. Also, no ads and no subscription selling. Just relaxing (mostly) listening.

  • I love the curated dives into Suspense (and often other radio golden age era shows)! Sometimes, the opening talk from our curator and host needs some serious sound editing. Often the music is so loud it drowns out whatever the curator/host is trying to explain and can be very jarring. Other than that, I love the podcast and listen to it, imperfections and all, every time it comes out!
