- Great Suspense Episode
Suspense is such a great old show, well written and excellent acting. I especially like this show as it has compilations of one actor and their Suspense episodes or a cast from a show doing the episodes. My only issue is with the host’s volume. The sibilance is so bad and blasts so loud I skip through all the intros. Happy these shows are being podcast though and well worth listening to.

These are great shows, some are a little hokey but even those are worth a listen. I also really enjoy the commentary, hearing about the stars, the writers, and events going on at the time.

Entertaining shows, capturing a great point in Hollywood with the stars from a great generation of entertainers. The host talks for too long with the start up but just fast forward.
