“Comedy owes a lot to Jack Benny but Jack had lots of running gags so explaining some of the ways of life from almost 100 years ago is helpful. This podcast is helpful and keeps things fun. The host clearly does a lot of research and that takes time. I appreciate it. I love these programs and it...”Read full review »

“These shows are over 80 years old, and the comedy still holds up. Laugh out loud funny. Jack Benny should never be forgotten. His delivery, his character's notorious cheapness his indignation from his cast's insubordination never get old.
The intro to the podcasts and insight to all...”Read full review »

“I’m so glad I stumbled across this podcast. I’ve been listening to old Jack Benny episodes for years, but the context provided here makes the gags so much funnier! So many times, I couldn’t help but laugh along with the audience based on delivery, now I feel like I actually “get” the joke!”

“Best podcast of its kind…. And I’ve heard d a few! Great Intros that are brief and lay an important foundation for each show. I’ve listened to Hack Benny for years and looked up quite a bit to understand d Enid the bygone references….. but I learn something with each of these podcasts.”

Thank you so very much for your high quality modern re-packaging of this classic star. I’ve loved Jack Benny’s best movie (To Be or Not to Be) and his TV show greatest hits (Marilyn Monroe episode especially), so this podcast is my introduction to his radio show. It’s so very classically...”Read full review »

“I can’t even listen to Jack Benny on other podcasts anymore, because I get miffed when they don’t provide some contextual background for me, which I’ve now come to love and expect from your great podcast.
You’ve spoiled me, Mr. Henderson!”

“Somehow Jack Benny now lives in the 21st century. Some of these shows are simply hilarious. I can’t do without it. His character is so relatable, smart, aware, layered and oh so subtle. Mean, selfish, begrudging. He makes narcissism a virtue. Wonderful.”
