What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Thanks for offering these restored versions of CBSRMT episodes. I worked on a similar project, speed-correcting tapes, carefully adding noise reduction if needed, tweaking the EQ, seamlessly restoring any missing bits of theme music before and after the commercial breaks, etc. I ended up with about 350 programs that sound really good, but you’ve restored dozens of others I don’t have in my own archive. Looking forward to working my way through all of your shows. Thank you!
