This is another one of those podcasts that I can’t believe I’ve only just come across, as it feels like it could have been made for me.
There are a lot of great podcasts around at the moment about old tv, but this one is hosted (and well-researched) by two people who live and breathe television, and particularly television history.
I’m up to episode 4 and recommend it to any Generation Xers.
