“I grew up on a military base in Germany between 63-68. It doesn't seem that long ago, but it was. The only tv was in german and it signed on at 2pm with just two channels. I learned to speak German watching a dubbed star trek and the avengers. Oh that Emma Peel and her effect on a young man's raging hormones. Anyway...my alternative was AFN, the armed forces radio network. It wasn't old time radio to me, it was what I regularly listened to. It's like I grew up in my fathers generation. My favorite show was Johnny Dollar. I was 12 years old and was transfixed by the stories and style of Baily. Currently, I work as a voice over artist and attribute my style to what I learned listening to the great actors of yesterday. In terms of the host's performance it took some getting used to, but what he lacks in style is more than made up in his knowledge and enthusiasm. He's great and if he got a slightly better microphone and used a wind screen, that would make for a better presentation. Just a suggestion, and please take it for what it is, just a bit of advice from a fan. Thanks.”Read full review »
