Customer Reviews
The best of all Old Time Radio podcasts
I’ve been a huge fan of old-time radio since I was in elementary school and would check out LPs of old Sherlock Holmes and The Shadow radio shows. I’ve been listening to old Time radio collections since they first started popping up on the Internet and tried every old radio show podcast there is. This is the best of them all. Host Adam not only presents the most popular shows but manages to find whole series of programs I never knew about. Adam is a great host and the contextual information he presents is always super interesting. My favorite shows are Richard Diamond, Sherlock Holmes, and The Saint with Vincent Price. Keep up the great work Adam! I’ve enjoyed your recent episodes where you have other relevant pod-cast co-host/crossovers as well.

What is up with the You Might Also Like interruptions?!?!
How about this, if you are going to be obtrusive at least list shows that go along with the theme!
I’m sure you’re getting a kickback but really!
Still rocking it!
When I first started listening to Adam, he was but a wee lad. Though his voice resonated that of someone with many decades under his belt.
Than I got use to his glorious voice and ears delighted to find out he was a youngster.
Great, I want him to keep broadcasting.
Thanks Adam for all the wonderful companions you shared with me while I worked, gardened and do chores around the house.
Full steam ahead!
