Delightful slice of childhood

Not only is Greg Ehrbar a talented writer, insightful author, wellspring of history, and great guy, he is also a skilled interviewer and host. He adds enthusiasm and context to his conversations, while never talking over his guests. I’m thrilled that he is taking me back to a joyful time in life and preserving memories before they’re lost.

Finally!

Finally, a podcast detailing the history of the amazing Hanna-Barbera production company. What great insight from Greg. I’m really looking forward to future shows.
