- The voice of Adam
I enjoy Adam’s compilations of OTR episodes; but sorry dood, Adam’s voice is not fun to listen to. And the intro music is clown car music. Just stinking play the episodes and call it a day.

United States4 months ago - 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!
Apple Podcasts5thejonreinerUnited States7 months ago - 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

Canadaa year ago - Great show great commentary
I have been listening to this show for almost as long as it has been available. I love the episodes, the history. I really like Adam’s commentary. He gives great back ground and framing to the episodes. Just like everyone, I have favorite shows and less favorite shows, but I appreciate what I learn from each. 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
Apple Podcasts4BZ Working MomUnited Statesa year ago - 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.
