What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have loved Gilbert’s irreverent sense of humor since I was a kid. I started listening to this wonderful podcast when he was alive (I was late to it) and since he left us I resolved to start at episode 1 and listen to all of them in order. Frank is the perfect eminently replaceable co-host and their chemistry is infectious. I truly enjoy getting to know so many titans of “old Hollywood,” but what I love best is continuing to get to know Gilbert. A singular talent and a lovable sentimental soul with the roughest of exteriors. My favorite combination. And if you believe that I’ve got a bridge to sell you…

RFarva · Nov 2024

I’ve been relistening to the podcast to stay away from politics and current events and it’s amazing how good some of these interviews were. Mostly due to Frank’s research, but occasionally Gilbert came through with an amazing impression or a story about an alleged antisemite. Love the mini episodes too. Frank, I wish you would entertain starting a similar show, these stories are significant and worthy of being heard

HardKnockSal · Nov 2024

Losing Gilbert was terribly difficult for fans and those of us who looked forward to every new episode with Frank. The duo was unbeatable with their ability to recall minutia I assumed only I remembered. We are fortunate to have these episodes for eternity and can laugh again as Gilbert sings and cracks jokes and so many amazing guests regal us with wonderful stories. For anyone who loves well, laughter, movies, TV and music, this is the podcast for you. Every episode brings the funny. We love you Gilbert, and you too Frank. Thanks for so much.
