What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love this podcast! Gobbled them all up because the storytelling, humor, irreverence, and fairness with which Lauren treats her potential party guests is so delicious! I hope there are lots more to come!

As a HUGE classic Hollywood fan, I find it’s difficult to find podcasts on the subject that are well-researched, well-produced, and entertaining. This hits the bullseye on all three. I love Lauren’s writing and delivery style—cheeky but respectful, fun but not obnoxious, succinct but not dry or boring. Lauren’s really great at digging into the personalities of these major Golden Age players, and by the end of the episode I love hearing her breakdown on whether or not this person should be invited to her imaginary classic Hollywood party. (I would give anything to be at such a party!) Lauren, I hope that you are just on hiatus and are loading more of these into the queue. Thank you so much for the ones you’ve already put out there!!!

Such a fun Old Hollywood podcast! A lovely blend of thoughtful research and clever commentary built around a great premise - would you want to party with this star? I especially love the episodes on Desi Arnaz, Rock Hudson, and Rosalind Russell - personally, I would totally tip back a martini with them. Looking forward to future party guests!

I love Hollywood Party! I’m a huge fan of Classic Hollywood. Lauren ‘s episodes are packed with juicy tidbits about the stars of Old Hollywood. Plus, Lauren Semar is funny! I look forward to each Party. I almost feel transported back in time, for a little while anyway.
