  • Late to the Party & Couldn’t be Happier

    I only started really listening to podcasts over the last few years. Didn’t even occur to me that this show might be out there, but I‘m so glad it is & that I now have so many episodes to binge on! TZ is my favorite show from when I was a kid & a local TV station in Houston broadcasted either 2 shows or 1 of the 4th season shows on Saturday afternoons. I have a couple of the books I‘ve already heard mentioned & a dvd collection from a few years back with lots of great content from cast & crew... more

  • Entertaining and well researched!

    Everything you could want from a Twilight Zone podcast. Sounds great, Tom’s voice is professional sounding and calming, and the inclusion of Twilight Zone music bits really adds something. The extra long Nightmare at Twenty Thousand Feet episode goes above and beyond. There are some ads now, but they aren’t too long. There is a Patreon to support this podcast as well! I always look forward to new episodes, including the occasional ones where he reads the story on which the episode was based. Can... more

  • Love this podcast

    I adore this podcast. I have loved the twilight zone since I was a child. An English teacher showed us “the monsters are due on maple street” and I have been hooked ever since. I love how Tom pieces together interviews and moments from the show with his view of the episode. It is clear he is a Serling fan and it’s like hearing a well informed discussion from another fan. I am starting from the beginning in 2023 and enjoying this so much. Clearly this is a labor of love, thank you Tom!
