Call Back Yesterday

Call Back Yesterday combines the best of well-done short-form NPR stories with the chance to stretch your legs, explore historical moments at greater length, and hear fun, informal conversations with a knowledgeable and engaging host. Well worth a listen!

John Rabe offers a unique viewpoint on the production of cult classic “Somewhere in Time” as he and his brother James were Johnnys-on-the-spot during the filming on the unique Mackinac Island. This longtime NPR host has excellent connections to all the people who provide insider views of this Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour romantic classic. Rabe’s production values put you right in the middle of things while his interviews always draw out the best in people. It’s a must listen, particularly for those who want to be transported back to somewhere in time.

Is it unseemly for me to review my own podcast? It would be. So please take my five-star rating to be my aspiration and challenge for each show … as well as my promise to you to deliver my best each time, to be honest with you, and to keep creating a podcast for me and for you that I’m proud of.

Even if you’ve never seen Somewhere in Time, CBY stands out as a touching show about grief and loss. Be prepared for deep convos that might make you cry, but you’ll feel better in the end.
