Where’s John Ross Bowie?!

Where has John been? I haven’t seen new episodes since June! I hope it’s because John’s been working on some great movie project. I hope he’s OK, and will return soon. If anyone has any news, please share! Thanks. -Nick Davis

Paul Dooley!

Would have gotten 5 stars but this show disappeared for a long time and then popped up with so many episodes at once I may never catch up, BUT, anyone who interviews Paul Dooley is a hero. I was jazzed the man is still alive. This show interviews amazing folks I remember beginning in my childhood, and it’s a charming and nostalgic podcast highlighting folks whose faces people may recognize but the name might escape them. Recommend! And I would never ask for a REFUND!

Reddit got me here; where are you?

Redditor r/underwear11 posted a link to the YT version of this podcast featuring Diedrich Bader. Wonderful stories and well-told.
I came here to sub and it looks like the audio verson's been paused for a while!
Hope the production's revived.
