What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Listening to this is like traveling in time to a different universe! The stories are creative and entertaining - just as good as anything modern for this length. I love the radio format - away from the addiction of cellphone and tv. It lets me use my imagination like when I was a kid. The sound can be patchy. Nice to hear old radio advertising for now extinct brands. The people who heard this regularly in the 50s and 60s might be long gone…

I echo what other reviewers have said: I love listening to these while I work. I've learned I really enjoy golden-age science fiction and I never get tired of these radio programs. As a child of the 80s, I never heard many radio shows, except once or twice so this podcast has exposed me to a piece of broadcasting history with which I was not previously familiar. It's also spurred me to find the material referenced, such as Galaxy Magazine and the larger archives of Mindwebs. Both are available on the internet. Just to reiterate, these are very entertaining and I highly recommend anyone who enjoys audio storytelling to give them a try. Then go find the other Relic Radio shows because I feel there's something out there for everyone. Thank you to Relic Radio for their efforts to get these shows out to us.

The audio quality of the episode is almost always extremely high quality and the podcast introductions and endings are brief, informative, well-spoken and kind. This Podcast is truly professionally done. Thanks.

If you like scifi this is the best of the podcasts. Not old enough to have heard these originally, but since I discovered this mode of entertainment, my TV usage has gone way down. I can do other things while listening to these. Great for a long car ride too. Make that 400 mile drive to visit relatives a whole lot more pleasant.
