Apple Podcasts5K80fabUnited States5 years ago - What a GEM!!!
So great to stumble across this podcast! I love the rapport between the presenters, and all the extra information given. 'Always fascincating' is right!!
A really interesting window to 1950's Scotland hsa been opened up, and I hope that Pass It On keeps going! (ps I also really like that most of the episodes I can share with my children who are also interested in history ;-) It is great that any with maybe not child friendly episodes are marked with an 'e'.)
I am hooked and can't wait to hear... more

Australia6 years ago - Nostalgic, educational, and funny!
I’m 31 now, and I remember growing up and seeing my mother doing many of these tips herself in our home. She was always finding ways to extend the life of things, fixing this and that, and problem solving in unique ways that may seem quaint now, but we’re truly necessary back in the day. Keep up the good work guys, can’t wait for the next episode!
Apple Podcasts5NinityUnited States6 years ago - Fantastic!
I love listening to these and have actually gone right back to the beginning to hear everything! I’m enjoying hearing the historic tips and the modern thoughts on them. The humour sparkles and the show is done in such a way as to make you want to talk back to them and give your opinion or actually ‘Pass it On!’ My favourite podcast!

United Kingdom6 years ago - Quite possibly my favorite
The accents are beautiful, the banter is even better, all while learning some great old tips! I adore this podcast with all my heart and always eagerly await another.
Apple Podcasts5JbenyeUnited States6 years ago - Fun break from daily stress
I love this podcast! The subject matter is somewhat silly, but also of historical interest, and sometimes actually useful. The hosts’ playful banter is fun to listen to; they always get off-topic in amusing ways following interesting rabbit trails. Since the hosts’ ages vary widely they are able to provide different perspectives. The show provides a fascinating look at how daily household life has changed in the last 60-70 years, and has fun doing it.
