by In the almost six years that The Retro Network has been online, we have been privileged to bring numerous retro and nostalgia-themed podcasts to the masses. We currently play host to the popular Wizards: The Podcast Guide to Comics, Remember That Show?, and Retro Resurgence podcasts, and today we’re proud to announce the addition of two more great shows to our family of podcasts. The Saturday Morning Podcast and Mystery Frequency Podcast are now part of The Retro Network family.
The Saturday Morning Podcast, is hosted by cartoon preservationist Christopher Jay, and is your gateway back to feeling like a kid again. Take a deep dive into those great Saturday Morning cartoons from the 1980s. It’s a chance to see where those great cartoons came from, the creatives behind the idea, the voices that brought he characters to life, a funny look back at the first episode, a look at whether it was a phenomenon, and an exploration of it’s legacy so many years later. Whether you’re a fan of “The Smurfs” and “Muppet Babies”, or something more obscure like “Turbo Teen” and “Little Wizards”, The Saturday Morning Podcast has you covered. Rewind the clock back to the 80s with a new episode every other Saturday. Season 11, coming later in 2025, which will take a look at the lost media of Saturday Morning, includes the annual holiday shows, and other surprises you will not want to miss.
What started with a (un)healthy love of comics and a gift of audio drama cassettes ( ask your parents ) when I was younger, grew into an appreciation of the classic stories of Mysteries, Detectives, Sci-fi, Pulp Heroes and more. Seeing a character dressed in black with a fedora, a cape, and carrying twin pistols (The Shadow ) didn’t’ hurt either.
What does this have to do with a podcast? Well, I wasn’t really having luck finding an audio drama/ old time radio podcast with a great variety and consistent uploads, so I decided to start one, with the simple mission of preserving and sharing these classic stories for new and old fans around the world.
I hope you enjoy it!
You can find both The Saturday Morning Podcast and Mystery Frequency Podcast in your favorite podcast app. Additionally, every new episode of both podcasts will be featured here at The Retro Network when they drop.
The Retro Network proudly welcomes both shows to the family, and we hope you will check out both of them.
