  • Love this show. Bring Back Our Soaps. The problem with replacing the soaps with reality shows is that the soaps are more authentic than the shows featuring real people who are less charismatic and unlike a scripted drama. America needs their daily dramas and not Teen Moms or TLC shows.

  • A nice collection of guests, but can be a frustrating listen

    An incredible collection of guests for 1980s and 1990s fans of Guiding Light, As The World Turns, Another World and One Life to Live.

  • Thank you!

    The lockdown gift we didn’t know we needed is now available as an audio podcast, too! Alan has had me taking a trip down GL memory lane for months now. It’s so nice to see and hear and catch up with some of my favorite actors. Like I said, I didn’t know I needed it until I got it. Thank you Alan. Keep up the great work! It’s truly appreciated.
