“Kenneth W Reid gives guided tours of 20th century pop culture to actors, comedians, and industry insiders. The tv guide device works really well as a jumping off point for related trivia and as a way to tie everything together - it really gives the show a structured tour-like feel. I’ve been...”Read full review »

“This is the best podcast about classic tv and anything on tv (maybe not sports but everything else). Ken is a savant level expert on every network and pretty much every show dating back to the start of the medium.”

“Pure nostalgia and brings me such warm memories of being a child raised by tv. With all of his episodes in his collection, you can easily be propelled back to any modern tv era. I am astounded by Ken’s knowledge and loves that he shares it with us.”

“TV Guidance Counselor Podcast has been on fire since the new year! They haven’t hit their stride, they’re sprinting right through it. From Dan Larson to Drew McQueeney these have been the most knowledgeable and entertaining guests in a while. Throw in a little Mr. belvedere talk with a former...”Read full review »

“I use to really enjoy this podcast. I realize there is a pandemic and Ken can't have guests "in studio" but having the guest via Zoom or Skype is just terrible. It is really really terrible. No flow to the conversation. Ken or the guest talk over each other. Most of the time the...”Read full review »

“Being a child of the early 70’s, I have a few years on Ken. You would not ever suspect this, however, due to Ken’s encyclopedic knowledge about shows that were WAY before his time.
For example: He and a guest referenced an early Sunday morning Christian show called “Jot” that I had seen as a...”Read full review »

“Great show for tv buffs and former latchkey kids. I absolutely love when the show sticks to its standard format of having a guest pick an issue of the Guide and choosing their weekly viewing based on that, it’s a great idea and I love the nostalgia of it all. Ken always has on great guests, even...”Read full review »
