  • A must for TAGS fans

    I’m a huge, huge fan of TAGS and I just came across this podcast and love it so much! I look forward to each new episode. It would be nice to be able to listen to episodes prior to ‘The New Doctor’ but that’s just a nitpick, considering it’s still in season 1.

  • I love this podcast. It's comforting, relaxing, and full of good vibes; much like The Andy Griffith Show. I've been listening to this podcast for almost half of my life and I count on Alan and this podcast like I do The Andy Griffith Show, a moment to relax, slow down, take it easy. WHAT'S YOUR HURRY?

  • Reruns

    Just like we enjoy watching reruns of TAGS listening to reruns of TCNW are just as enjoyable. I’m at the age where I forget a lot of things so sometimes it’s almost brand new. Happy 700th and here’s to many more. Thank you mr. and Mrs. Newsome
