Campy old radio show from the Armed Forces Network. Fast-talking protagonists, elderly-sounding villains, hysterical shrieking women, and stories with uncomplicated plots. Think of it as a lazy man’s Twilight Zone. If you like that sort of thing, this show is for you. I prefer stories with a bit more depth, but I did appreciate the simple silliness of the whole thing.

Once again disappointed in the presentation of this podcast. I know they’re aiming for old-style radio sounds but it’s just too tough to listen to ..for me that is. Maybe somebody else will really enjoy it but I just had to turn it off unsubscribe and delete from my library.
