Lots and Lots of great content I thought was gone forever!

Definitely worth subscribing to if you like the genre (as I do)... the audio is always good, and the stories and characters are always colorful! Go ahead..... binge-listen to all the OTR goodness!

Thanks, Gene! I love listening to these old shows. I especially appreciate the way you've taken extra time with some of your offerings to make them specific to a particular personality. Keep keepin' on.

I absolutely love how Gene has made these rare shows available for our listening pleasure. I especially enjoy when he plays a series of shows that feature specific stars from Hollywood's Golden Years--such as John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart. This podcast is must listening for any fan of OTR!
