    The Brightest Star
    Jan 5 2026
    Let's start the new year off right, with a visit to Old Hollywood, and in the company of two very different movies... The first is a curious experience - a drama masquerading as a musical comedy, but featuring little of either, and an uneasy voyage into some questionable attitudes of the day... The second is a startling thriller featuring a taut plot, a high-level stakeout, and the debut of an actress who would go on to become something of a legend... (clue: she's still with us today) Radio entertainment this time is a double-billed featuring one of cinema's most iconic duos!

  • Old Hollywood History Lessons

    Old Hollywood History Lessons
    Nov 24 2025
    There is something so special about history and its figures seen through the eyes and the storytelling techniques of Old Hollywood. Take this edition's movies for instance, two history lessons told with all the style and panache that only Hollywood could muster. I'll tell you all about the birth of the news itself in the company of Edward G Robinson, and then we're off to a most remarkable town run by a most remarkable Spencer Tracy...

  • Blondells Have More Fun

    Blondells Have More Fun
    Oct 20 2025
    Before we step into the shadows of Halloween, it's time for one last glimpse of sunshine, as I whirl you through the back catalogue of Joan Blondell! I've got two Joanie movies to tell you about, including a romantic crime thriller set in the fast-moving world of telephone... engineering...? And then we're off to Paris, as Joan puts into action a series of schemes designed to teach a haughty royal a lesson about how to treat girls. Radio entertainment this time comes courtesy of the Lux Radio Theatre, and a rare comedic outing for a very famous pirate...

I listen to about 60 regular podcasts while I work, some are really good, but few are even half as good as this podcast. it is genuinely repeat worthy entertainment, with historical insite into Hollywood in its prime.

More talent than a BBC production.

Great podcast for people who love the Golden Age of Hollywood or who want to know more. Amusing old time adverts, radio plays and a host who seems to love what he is doing. My goto podcast for those times when I just want to escape the modern world for a while and be entertained.
