Awesome Metronome ,

A Wonderful Step Back in Time

I love these old radio shows. It reminds me that things don’t have to be so sophisticated and complicated to be fun, entertaining and enjoyable. I just found this podcast so I’m trying to get caught up on the hundreds that are already there and then keep up with the new ones. Keep em com’n this show is the highlight of my week.
