The content is excellent; however, frequent laughter every 30 seconds is distracting and aggravating. Hearing a loud laugh directly into a microphone during the presentation ouch.
I love OTR but I don’t have someone to talk to about this or to discuss the episodes. I like how listening to you guys makes it like I am not alone in this side of the internet. :)
I LOVE THIS PODCAST! I was looking for exactly this type of Old Radio mystery/horror and haven’t been disappointed. I’ve gone all the way back and began at the beginning and it’s just progressively gotten better.
This podcast is a gem! Eric, Tim, and Joshua’s live shows are a blast if you enjoy old time radio!
