Thoroughly entertaining

Whether you’re a fan of Old Hollywood or just someone who appreciates stepping back to the thirties and forties, this podcast provides hours of entertainment. Adam is genuinely funny and engaging, and the stories told have to introduced me to an entire world of cinema that I never knew. An absolute cracker of a podcast.

Attaboy Indeed

Hours and hours of spellbinding entertainment listening to Adam as he reveals things you never knew about the Golden Age of cinema and to radio plays from yesteryear (which brings back memories of doing housework with Mum enlivened by gripping stories on the radio…miss that). There’s laughter, nostalgia, facts abound and you’ll always be left wanting more. Just brilliant and when you throw in the magical “Question Pot” and “Brook” theme songs, well you just can’t go wrong!
