Customer Reviews
Binge listening
I love Jack, and it’s great to have a collection to keep him and the gang alive. The preambles before each program are excellent and professional and contribute to the enjoyment. I binge listen.
Really good!!
Really enjoy this podcast and highly recommend it to everyone. John does some initial explanations that are always really interesting and then straight into the latest episode.
The best!
This is the best Jack Benny podcast ever! The podcast host is not long winded like others. He gives you information regarding references made in the show and that’s it - on with the show!
