Really interesting. Kind of wild some of these shows are originally from the 30s. If you're a fan of the weird, paranormal or macabre then this is right up your alley. No filler with excellent sound quality. Definitely worth a listen to change things up. Old Time Radio is where it's at, great work 👍🏻👍🏻
I love this podcast! A fun & mysterious way to spend Sunday nights. I appreciate Relic’s content, regularity and the variety is awesome. Thank you
Really enjoy all of these stories. I listen every week
This is the place I always go you plug from the every day grind. So much comfort in listening to radio dramas from years past. Great variety and enough to dive in and binge listen any time
Didn’t see one today.
