Just discovered you from Coffee and Tequila. What a delightful and informative podcast for folks who love this era of Hollywood.

Episode #5 - Bette Davis

I’ve just discovered The Valley of the Dolls Podcast, and I’m so glad I did. There’s so much great content here, and you do a terrific job of explaining (particularly in this “collecting” episode) how we can see films in an age where tangibles, actual physical DVDs (and other particulates), are becoming more and more difficult to obtain. Thank you so much!
