Into nostalgia? “A Look Behind in Rewind” is a podcast series reminiscent of Jean Shepherd of WOR-Radio… like a modern-day Mark Twain. Tom’s stories range from childhood escapades to college hijinks to crazy tales from film/broadcast/ad agency days, including interviews with American Bandstand mogul Dick Clark and others. (When it comes to some of these early youthful adventures, names have been changed to protect the innocent). Podcast lengths are short, generally only 7 to 10 minutes each.
