  • 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.
