Customer Reviews
Attaboy Adam!
Such a brilliant and entertaining series. Adam researches his topics thoroughly and then presents in such a way as to grab your interest and then maintain it. And after you’ve dipped your toes in Attaboy Clarence, look up EVERYTHING else Adam Roche has. You will NOT be disappointed. I’m just sorry I didn’t discover Adam until after Melbourne had lived through the world’s longest lockdowns. Would have made it sooo much easier to endure.
First rate
Adam is an amazing podcaster and powerhouse - all admiration for him and his work. The absolute toppermost of the old movie appreciators. CANTERBURY!
A pleasure for the audio senses
I came to this from Adan’s other podcast and I have to say it is a gift.
They humour he brings to his reviews of old and obscure movies is a treat, I have been inspired many times to hunt down a movie thanks to his recommendations. The radio plays are devine and make me come back to the podcast again and again. The song selections of old artists between segments are brilliant.
If you have a slight interest in the movies of yesterday or a love of old radio plays this is a podcast you are sure to enjoy.
So give it a try and I’m sure you will enjoy this trip down the wireless of history.
