    Good one!
    Love this! Definitely recommend this, you should listen! ♥️
  • Alice N. Armour
    A lot of fun
    Entertaining tribute/send-up of classic old sci-fi radio. I hope there will be more episodes in “The FUTURE!”
  • zey2222
    Come back I like this
    I miss the Tesla stuff. The references are very nice. What happened to the editor guy?
  • Price Is Right Fan
    Wonderfully fun!
    I just finished listening to F Is For Frame, loved it! I was afraid the modern world forgot about Harry Lime and his many lives. Brought one heck of a big smile to my face. I imagine the rest of the episodes are equally as good, I'm exciting to hear where it goes. Keep up the excellent work!
  • dwearsch
    If you don't like a segment, just wait a few minutes!
    A great mix of styles, all honoring the old time radio theater presentation that's hard to find these days.
  • DarkTreader
    Outstanding writing… radio theater for nerds
    Radio theater is not common in the US any more. The Incomparable Radio theater harkens back to that time, and yet gives it a modern take for nerds and nerd culture. It’s pure genius to combine the style of radio theater from decades ago and combine it with fresh, rich, and deep, pop culture nerd references of today. Everything is done with style and class, even the ads. It’s even more delightful when you get to know the actors when listening to The Incomparable radio cast and get the references they make to themselves. While you are at it, find them on twitter at @finleyquality and gush about them there for a while too!
  • jpinon
    So glad this exists
    It's so obvious during every minute of every episode how much fun the whole cast is having in making this podcast. It's both modern and original (Tesla as Doctor Who is a favorite) while also a nice homage to radio serials of pre-TV times.
  • Troldann
    Such a good show!
    A perfect experience from beginning to end.
  • Genady
    BRAVO
    BRAVO One and all. Outstanding show. I listen to each of them three times.
  • Patrick from IL
    Unique and A Joy
    You can just tell that everyone involved is passionate and dedicated. The best part for me is picking out all the knowing winks and references to everything from other podcasts to pop culture. This is a love letter to radio, podcasting, and story telling in general.
  • _just me
    Old time radio retro/updated with a twist
    Started with the first episode and could not stop. The play on words,references to star trek,twilight zone,star wars,and old radio shows has me actually listening to see if I missed something. I only watched one episode (it is audio after all) but that was interesting putting a voice to a body and also seeing some of the sound effects from a tap on a Macbook laptop. T shirts,mugs,etc. have to be next. Jumping Jupiter!
  • KinsaleWalker
    What a hoot!
    I’m really impressed with this show, the scripts are funny and engaging, and the performances are terrific. The dialog is tight and funny, and sound effects and design are terrific. I would compare it favorably to PHC, which is pretty amazing considering that this is quite new. The commercials have some of the best bits, and I would love to see some of the scripts. The promo for the coffee fortified with… more coffee made me send a link to a friend just for that.
  • Uncromulent
    Sounds like a bad imitation of Lake Wobegone
    It sounds as if the writers and performers only experience with old time radio is from people that make fun of when radio was. It is like the same joke told again and again. Each time it is less funny.
  • DanDrusch
    A great homage to the classics
    As a fan of old-style TV and radio production, I love listening to the variety of stories and styles. And they’re just so much fun! Even the ads are done in-style.
  • Retro-futurist
    Quirky, self-aware old-time radio
    I had a great time listening to this while doing scraping and sanding old paint from my trim for most of Sunday. I'm so glad I did. What a fun romp through the old-time radio format with a modern twist and lots of meta-narrative humor and grin- (or groan-) inducing puns.
  • WigWag Workshop
    Love It!
    What a joy it was to listen to these “Radio Shows” I absolutely love old time radio, I have over a hundred hours of old time radio shows. I usually have them playing when I am in the workshop, after I am caught up on my podcasts of course LOL. I really hope you make more of these, they really make me smile.
  • SRQ JOHN
    Fun
    I really enjoyed; I hope they do more.
