“This is a really fun show. The friendship between the hosts comes through and they have great conversations. Their childhood memories are spot on for those of us who grew up in the 80s, and so many of the episodes remind me of toys and hobbies and shows and knick-knacks I’d long since forgotten....”Read full review »

“Right out of the gate: This is not a glowing podcast review, but please check out Jon’s great GenXGrownUp YouTube channel if you’re interested in 80s video games and tech toys.
The podcast on the other hand… Great subject matter, decent insights sometimes, extremely well produced. I especially...”Read full review »

“If you’re a geek who grew up in the late 70’s to early 90’s, this is probably going to become your favorite podcast if it isn’t already. Right now I’m going back through all their old episodes and listening to the fun reminiscences about rotary phones, 1st-gen consoles, Saturday morning cartoons...”Read full review »

“The best thing about this podcast (and I listen to many) is that the hosts are genuinely nice, friendly people with good attitudes and pleasant demeanors. Their mix of dorky 40-something jokes and relaxed banter is well balanced against their knowledge and research. They don't fall pray to...”Read full review »
