  • My #1 Podcast

    This is by far my #1 podcast! I am a huge fan of classic radio drama shows and Yours Truly is my favorite. I listen while driving, I listening while doing dishes, I listen next to the fireplace in the winter and I even go to sleep with it playing.

    Adam - thank you for putting this together week after week!

  • Adam is the best!

    Years ago, I enjoyed listening to the SiriusXM old-time radio channel when driving. I found the old dramas to be good company on long drives. I no longer need to drive as much, but still found these old dramas great company when going on my walks, and was happy to find this channel on a podcast format. Adam is truly exceptional in this genre, my family now does a great impression of his “Welcome back” when he starts his post- show, which is a great tribute! I now follow his Patreon, well worth s... more

It’s part of the entertainment value for me. The nasty critiques of Adam’s voice are like nails on a chalkboard to me. Give me a break. I chose this podcast because of what he adds. If I on... more

  • Love the Show

    I love the show but I find the host’s voice and commentary annoying. I do appreciate him saving commentary until the end of the show but I still have to hear his voice prior to the show.
