“I can't get your theme song out of my head. I find myself singing it randomly -- "just beware of the icy patch". Otherwise, I love Mike's wit and dry sense of humor. The subject matter is great, but it really is the host who makes this podcast a must listen. He is insightful...”Read full review »

“As a Gen Xer (kid in the 80’s, teenager in the early 90’s) this podcast really hits that nostalgia sweet spot. Mike is super knowledgeable and seems to have a real affinity for the stuff he covers. My favorite part is that in addition to specials and movies, he also covers specific holiday...”Read full review »

“I found this podcast in October of this year and have been hooked ever since. Mike has an extensive knowledge of the shows and movies he covers, and it’s great to learn about specials you’ve either never heard of, or be reminded of specials that you thought only you knew about. I’ve introduced...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast! Mike has a great voice, he’s very informative, and very funny. I enjoy his many guests. This podcast has helped me discover old classics that I couldn’t remember their title. All I could remember was the one scene and he helped. He brings up the actor Hal Smith and I remember...”Read full review »

“Mike Westfall really comes to each episode prepared and usually with a great roundtable of co-hosts. I love how all season’s are explored and love some of the deep cuts that have been given attention that I don’t see other podcasts giving. Christmas-time episodes are the best!!”

“I love the show - very much looking forward to new episodes this holiday season. It feels amazing to know that I'm not the only one who remembers some of these off-the-wall holiday specials. And I appreciate Mike's willingess to weave through some of the sometimes-awful programming to...”Read full review »

“I love the analytical and insider information that is given on the show. It is clear that a quick Wikipedia review isn’t the backbone of each episode. I must admit that i have only listened to the episodes for shows and movies that I have seen, but am diligently working to fill in the gaps. Great...”Read full review »

“Advent Calendar House is an amazing deep-dive into the holiday classics we all remember, and some we barely remember! Each episode is a joyful embrace and review of a different TV special. Some are classics, and most are hidden gems - but every one of them is done with love and care. In...”Read full review »

“One of the things I love about podcasts is that they can focus on niche and evergreen topics. This show is a perfect example. There doesn't need to be new episodes every week, and it can drill down into great aspects of holiday nostalgia like specific holiday themed commercials. Great idea...”Read full review »
