Forgotten Hollywood

I like his style. Great interview with Dr. Kelly re Tyrone Power. Update——please mute mic when coughing and clearing your throat.

this podcast is a must-listen! Doug has some interesting guests/subjects. I’ve learned about a number of new film books that might have escaped my intention. Doug’s interviewing style is very relaxed and informal which makes it sound like two old friends are talking film. Bravo!

I’ve listened to many of Doug Hess‘s interviews on Forgotten Hollywood. It’s somewhat enjoyable because of the subject matter, but it is so frustrating to listen to many facts being left out about the stars, and it’s a very sanitized version of them! But the most irritating thing is he does not seem to have studied the material beforehand. It sounds like he’s running through the information in the podcast which results in him mispronouncing their names outright butchering them really! It’s just so annoying, I need to look for another podcast. If this is his area of interest, I would think that he would be more schooled and dedicated to presenting the material. When I’m listening to these interviews, I often find myself arguing at the radio in the car because the names and facts get mangled so often!

Really enjoyed listening to Doug. What a great voice. Excellent material!
