I really like this podcast. I love classic Hollywood, the movies, the stars, the whole bygone era. Erin does a great job with the research and presentation and keeps to the facts rather than interjecting a lot of personal opinions like some other podcasters do. If you love old time Hollywood then you’ll really love this podcast! Keep up the great work Erin!!

I’m a big fan of old, classic movies and nostalgia in general and this is a perfect listen!!! Love the host… sweet voice and very informative!! Very entertaining and interesting! Now I’ll be going back and rewatching a lot of movies now that I have so much background information. The episodes aren’t too long and are easy to listen to while commuting!!
