  • 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. I recommend this podcast to anyone who just doesn’t love Christmas but anyone who enjoys the season. This is my favourite podcast, helps me clear my mind and helps with the harder days to put it lightly. I definitely give it 5 stars, I would give more if possible! Love the podcast, love the topic and love the atmosphere. Thank you for what you do! It truly... more

  • My Childhood in a Podcast

    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 when he covers specific holiday episodes of older TV shows. I love that I can listen to many episodes over and over again, like a favorite holiday special. 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

  • 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!
