  • Nostalgia

    I really enjoyed this episode of Children of the 80s! The 80s cartoon theme song tournament is such a fun and nostalgic idea. The hosts do a great job bringing back memories while also adding humor and great discussion about each theme. The guest appearances made the conversation even better, and you can tell everyone genuinely loves the decade. If you grew up in the 80s or just love classic cartoons, this podcast is a must-listen. Looking forward to more episodes.
