Podcasts by Set Your VCR
We're a retro TV podcast, revisiting the sci-fi, fantasy and horror shows of the past. Each show we'll watch a few episodes of a show and chat about it. Should it get a reboot? How about a continuation? Or should it be left in the past? Dust off those VHS tapes and Set Your VCR!
