When I wrote praises for Buck Benny's podcast, I forgot for the moment about another really great podcast: "Two Chairs No Waiting."
It is an "Andy Griffith Show" podcast by Allan Newsome.
The title may not ring a bell, but it is taken from the fact that Floyd's Barber Shop had two chairs, no waiting, even though Floyd was the only barber in the shop.
Newsome likes to portray Floyd at Mayberry fan get-togethers.
I enjoy listening to the podcast just to hear Newsome's southern accent as much as to learn what I did not know about "The Andy Griffith Show," its cast and characters.
Newsome keeps each episode fairly short, less than 15 minutes, usually.
Everyone likes to spend some time in Mayberry. They aren't making any new episodes of "Andy Griffith," but visiting via "Two Chairs No Waiting" is a pretty good substitution.

My favorite podcast
Have you checked out Buck Benny's podcast?
It is found on iTunes and Podomatic.
I found it while searching for Jack Benny shows on iTunes.
Buck Benny is a pseudonym for someone I deduce lives in the northwest part of the country, perhaps Washington or Oregon.
I think he is a professional person, perhaps a psychologist or a psychiatrist. I think I read something about him that indicates the same.
Anyway, Buck Benny has become my favorite podcast because he does a daily podcast that features an old time radio show from 60 or 70 years earlier.
Often Buck Benny introduces the show by giving a brief bit of information about that episode's offering. On one show he gave an impassioned plea to support Radio Spirits. Not because he personally benefits from Radio Spirit's sales but because the company finds and makes previously unavailable shows available to the public.
By the way, Buck Benny was the name of a personna Jack Benny took for himself, playing a comedic cowboy.
It's a great podcast. I highly recommend it and thank you, Buck!
