Memories

A wonderful "time machine" that takes you back to a simpler time. Great to hear voices from days long gone. Definitely worth the listen and the time.

Perfect

I love listening to these programs. Wish they’d make a come back. This is the perfect Christmas listen.

loved it

everything was perfect ! heartwarming funny and just right for the coming Christmas season BRAVO

not really Christmas themed

i wouldn't listen to these to get in the Christmas spirit. there may be a slight mention that it is Christmas time in the few broadcasts i listened to, but thats it. the stories just didn't have enough to do with Christmas for my taste.

I did not finish listening because i just didn't enjoy them. if i had grown up on them maybe i would get more enjoyment out of them, but it just felt like i was jumping in to the middle of a conversation not knowing the people talking or what anyone was talking about. i don't know that these separate shows are good as stand alone episodes for anyone unfamiliar with them.
