Customer Reviews
Great episodes!
Usually aimed at local Baltimore audiences, I stumbled upon two particularly good shows. The themed "Cool Cruel High School" episodes were taped in front of a live audience. Both episodes were on par with excellent story telling podcasts like "The Moth". Great stories with the universal appeal of the ups and downs of high school life. I'm willing to listen to more podcasts in the future!
A Great Baltimore Institution
The Signal consistently delivers high-quality radio on local topics. Listen up, people!
Magical realism in bmore
Every Friday night for 6 months I'd look forward to tuning in during my 1.5 hour commute. Like a reset button for the soul, this show reminds the listener about why humanity is so fragile and amazing. Great great show!
