Bing podcast
I had an email from Kevin Greenlee the other day in which he told me about a podcast concerning Bing. This is what Kevin had to say:
<<I wonder, by the way, if you happen to be familiar with a podcast called “You Must Remember This.” The show focuses primarily on mid 20th century Hollywood and so, of course eventually got around to covering Mr. Crosby. Fans might take issue with a few things in the episode but I, at least, found it an interesting listen. If you're interested, the show can be found at

Scroll down to the March 24, 2015 entry to get the episode with Mr. Crosby- and don’t get thrown off by the fact that “Star Wars” is in the title. The host uses that phrase to indicate that the episode deals with the activities of stars in wartime.>>

Re: Bing podcast
The very fact that the author uses the Kaplan book "The Voice" as the basis for her stories on Sinatra shows how unreliable her podacasts can be! That book is full of "scenes" that the author invented or assumed occured along with infactual material!
All the best,

Re: Bing podcast
There was another podcast from last year concerning Bing, that just recycled the old "info" from the Hollow Man and Gary. It was called She Will Rock You. It wasn't a full on bash Bing session, as they actually pointed out his popularity and his support of tape, but besides that it's just basically a recycling.

Re: Bing podcast
Well, if you've had enough of the supposedly bad and rotten sides of Bing & Frankie. I don't read those books or bother listening as I know they're mostly made up and false trying to cash in on popular names even if it means trashing them at the same time.
Now if you want to hear some good Bing Crosby music and other great classic singers you should try my Sounds Like Radio podcast. Guaranteed no Evil Bing stories there. I feature Bing in almost every episode. Currently I just posted the new & what is to be the first of 4 different Christmas shows. It has a lot of great unusual Christmas music which naturally on my show will have Bing amongst other classic giants. I'll be posting a different Christmas show each week in December with lots of music to go along with a different Great Gildersleeve Christmas episode. Everything's free, of course, and you can now listen in your car or wherever you do these type things with Spotify or Google Podcasts. (Personally I just use the website and my computer, but I know it's more convenient for folks with these other platforms.) For Bing and now Christmas enjoyment go to:
