    Ivy Insights

    The Classic Comedy of Old Time Radio podcast is a fantastic source of laughter and entertainment. Hosted by Ron, this podcast showcases classic comedy shows from the golden age of radio. Even though I don't know Ron personally, his hard work on the show is truly commendable and his dedication to bringing these old gems to a new audience shines through.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the variety of comedy shows that are featured. From Bob Hope's Pepsodent radio show with its fast-paced jokes and hilarious supporting players like Jerry Collona and Vera Vague, to Lucille Ball's My Favorite Husband series filled with witty banter, each episode offers a different comedic experience. As a fan of comedy, it's refreshing to have a podcast dedicated solely to this genre. It's a great way to relax and laugh, especially for those nostalgic types who appreciate vintage humor.

    Another great aspect is the selection of episodes that Ron has managed to find. Many listeners, myself included, have struggled to find certain episodes or shows in archives before stumbling upon this podcast. It's exciting to discover new material from beloved comedians like Lucille Ball and Al Jolson. Ron's effort in sourcing these episodes adds value to the podcast and keeps listeners engaged.

    While there are many positives about this podcast, one potential downside is the lack of variety in genres. Some listeners may prefer a mix of suspense or drama along with comedy, as other old time radio podcasts offer. However, if you're someone who purely enjoys comedy and wants to unwind with laughter, then The Classic Comedy of Old Time Radio is perfect for you.

    In conclusion, The Classic Comedy of Old Time Radio podcast is a must-listen for fans of classic comedy and old time radio shows. With its wide range of comedic offerings and rare finds from archives, this show provides endless entertainment and nostalgia for those who appreciate humor from yesteryears. Ron's dedication to the podcast is evident in every episode, making it a delightful experience for listeners. So sit back, relax, and let the laughter of these timeless comedies fill your day.

    Jello again. If you've been around since last Christmas, you'll remember that we aired a Jack Benny Show entitled “An Old-Fashioned Christmas” on December 25, 2024. We aired it out of sequence because it was more appropriate to air on Christmas Day than in September. In that show, which, if it was aired in order, would fit in this week, the feud between Jack Benny and Phil Harris gets resolved. What does not get resolved is how Buck Benny recovers from getting shot. If you wish to listen to that Christmas episode to refresh your memory or if you have not heard it yet, just go to the podcast from December 25, 2024.Episode 238 of The Jack Benny Show.
