Customer Reviews
Excellent docent
Adam refers to himself a host, but I think of him more as a highly qualified volunteer docent leading a tour in a museum. He applies his knowledge to provide insightful context, and his passion for old time radio is as palpable as it is infectious. Like a good docent, Adam curates the best and points out things I never would have noticed. It is so great that he’s keeping these shows alive and sharing his hobby.
My all time favorite is Pat Novak. I really wish more episodes had survived. The evolution (or change perhaps?) of Jack Webb is puzzling to me. Cynical to uncritical. The police as flawed and bumbling to the police as infallible. I’ll write to Adam one day and ask him about this.
In the meantime, keep up the good work and Illegitimi non Carborundum (don’t let the trolls get you down).
New advertisements
After years of building a solid brand for himself Adam introduced an advertising feed that was, and still is, incongruent with his brand but the introduction of unsolicited “Something You Might Like” downloads in the podcast subscription is too much! From 5 stars to 1.
Great Podcast unwanted podcasts not appreciated
I LOVE this podcast. Great mysteries and I don’t want to understate the effort to produce a daily podcast. I don’t mind the ads before and after the episodes.
BUT the random addition of totally unrelated podcasts into my subscription feed is not appreciated.
I’m going to unsubscribe and just pick the episodes I want to listen to on a one by one basis.
Sorry Adam, I know you want to support yourself from podcasts but this is too much.
