- Such a good podcast for the soul
This podcast describes my a lot of the Christmas memories of my childhood almost precisely. Brings on a lot of nostalgia and warms the heart.

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.

The guests are a little hit or miss, most are great- knowledgeable and excited for the topic- but there have been a few who se... more

Apple Podcasts5Scott in DaytonUnited States3 years ago - I Have One Complaint
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 and he provides a unique and interesting persepctive. Plus, he has a great rapport with his guests. One of my favorite Christmas podcaasts!
