  • “WKRP-Cast” is great!

    I don’t regularly listen to podcasts, but I adore this one. It’s clearly made with love, and a lot of work must have gone into creating it.

    For me, this is a bit like going back in a time machine… back to when I was 12 or 13 and watching WKRP in its first run with my family. That’s a good memory for me. Listening to this consistently makes me happy. Not much else can be counted on to do that these days.

    Big thanks to the Stares for making this podcast. When I finally reach the last episod... more

  • What am I supposed to do now?

    I just finished every episode of this podcast and I’m bummed. I cannot express just how much I enjoyed this series. Donna and Allen did such an amazing job. Not only do you get to relive the series, but the way give background on all the pop culture references that come up in the show really shows just how much time, care and love they put into every single episode.

    I may have to just start over from the beginning…
