“I started listening to this podcast for a dose of nostalgia. But what really kept me coming back is the great dynamic between the hosts and the fact that they also cover many new topics (the latest games, TV, movies, technology) from a GenX viewpoint. They’re likable, informative, and well...”Read full review »

“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 »
