I love this podcast! If you love soap operas and the the history of soaps, then this podcast is for you! I just wish he would have more episodes, I’ve done listened to them all!
More Episodes!!!!
I love listening to this podcast and I’ve listen to them over and over. The only negative comment is that in the beginning new content was consistent. Now it’s 1 or 2 per year? There’s so much history of daytime and prime time serials that are left to explore and share. Please bring back more consistent new content!!
Love it!
Just discovered this last week and I’m already on ep 15! Loving it all. Especially the deep dive into Days early years. Can’t wait to hear the rest.
