  • An Excellent Podcast!

    I enjoy listening to Nowstalgia because it helps me learn more about pop culture. I also love Dave's and Pat's take on it. I don't have cable and I don't really go to entertainment websites so listening to Nowstalgia keeps me up to date. Awesome job guys, keep up the great work and providing us with the pop culture news we want to hear!!

  • We gotta fix this

    The podcast could be fantastic but I mean the sound quality is astonishing. Is this for real?? Is anyone listening before they post this? So far in one episode I’ve had to change my volume from 10 to 65 (max but can barely hear) to keep up with all the audio variation. WOOF

    I really love this show and look forward to it every week but the audio is distracting. It almost makes me want to not listen to it.

    Their opinions don’t stand out and the audio quality is just not good.

  • Awful audio

    I can't even fully review this podcast on content because for me its terrible audio quality makes it unlistenable. The fuzzy recording muffles the voices, and the cohost is so low in the background I'd have to crank up the volume to hear him until the main host would blow out my headphones. I really think they just record this on their phone or something and there's no excuse for that kind of audio.
