- Laugh track? Why?
A cute show but I couldn’t make it past the second episode due to the godawful laugh track. I get the whole sitcom genre thing but they were awful then and they are downright bizarre now. Hope they reconsider.

This was a great show. Light hearted and easy to listen to. Hope they bring it back for a second season.
Apple Podcasts5KailbillUnited States3 years ago - SEASON 2 WHERE ARE YOU!!!
Just found this podcast sitcom, and I love it so much! I literally got addicted and binge listened to it in a matter of days and I really want Season 2 to come out! I have my own podcast, but this has made me want to make my own podcast SITCOM! So please make Season 2 soon, I’m telling my friends about The Shelf Life!
Apple Podcasts5lexington5United States4 years ago - Please Come Back For Ssn2
Podcast sitcoms are still a rarity now, because they so rarely WORK. They don’t need to be overly produced with lots of bells and whistles and shiny new .wav files or whatever - they don’t even need to be well ACTED. All they need to do is be fun to listen to, that’s it (and be somewhat amusing too, of course).
And The Shelf Life is definitely a lot of fun to listen to... I admit, I didn’t like it at first - but I came back after a few months or so and restarted from episode 1, and for some rea... more
Apple Podcasts5Ponterbee's2ndPhoneUnited States5 years ago - Fun radio-style sitcom
This is a charming podcast reminiscent of early radio comedies. Set in a small-town bookstore, it features a memorable cast of characters, each with their own set of secrets and foibles. Fun and funny (I laughed out loud several times), it's an enjoyable romp .
The podcast features a laugh-track straight from the 70's, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. [Truth be told, I believe I'd have preferred a non-laugh-track option.] But don't let that stop you from checking it out.
Apple Podcasts5MuseInksUnited States5 years ago - Amazing!!
Such a fantastic show! The acting, writing and sound effects are all incredible. Can’t wait for season two!
