Customer Reviews
Longtime listener
Love VOH. As another reviewer mentioned, this podcast has none of the political bias that now drips from each episode of “You Must Remember This,” which I stopped listening to. Listen to VOH if you love old Hollywood history without current politics inserted.
Perfect treatment of Vera-Ellen
Answered all my questions about Vera-Ellen’s anorexia and then some. Great episode and a great podcast!
Jimmy Episode is a Must Listen
If you only do one thing today, listen to the latest episode on Jimmy Stewart. Impeccably researched, well done!
