“Retro pod is a wonderful short brief Podcast. It was a wonderful way to start off the morning every day. It’s a great way to fight this silliness of lies and conspiracy wackos they are putting out nonsense into the environment. I think it is absolutely important. Put pressure on The Washington...”Read full review »

“Minus two stars for not denoting rerun episodes in the episode titles. There are too many not to do this! Otherwise good.”

“It sounds like this was recorded on a talkboy from 1993. Get a new mic you guys. If you need proof, listen to literally any other podcast so you can see how crap the sound quality is. Got tired of the sound fluctuating in volume so much every time a recording was played between narration so...”Read full review »

“I thoroughly enjoy each of these episodes, for sharing stories that most people have long forgotten. I wish these podcasts were maybe twice as long, they leave me wanting more, but I am glad they provide references to the articles that inspire each episode.”

“You forgot to mention that the claim that he whistled at the lady was not true. This was later admitted by her. This is a fact that I believe should not have been omitted. Other than that this is a great podcast.”

“This is an excellent podcast, though it's time for the authors to mark the original release dates in the title of each episode. I'm sure it's an enormous amount of work to generate a new episode every day, but there are many of us who have heard every episode from the start, and...”Read full review »

“I used to love this podcast, but they’ve been repeating so many old episodes that I’ve already listened to. If it’s going to be a show with seasons that’s fine, but if it’s just going to be repeats of the same episodes then that’s kind of a bummer. Hope we get new episodes soon!”

“Wade’s story should have stayed forgotten! He wasn’t very redeemable since “years later he acknowledged that some abortions should be legal.” Men don’t have any right to tell women what is legal or illegal when it comes to abortion rights!”
