  • Favorite Pod

    I was born in 1983 and music has always been a big part of my life. My favorite episodes are the Time Machine pods from the early 80’s through the early 90’s. It takes me back to being a kid which for most, really was the best days of our lives. There are a ton of nostalgia pods out there but none do it as well as Dave and Milt. I look forward to every Friday to see what they have in store. Go Yankees!

    If you are a fan of music in general, you will love this show. Every week, they take us back into the Time Machine to relive the music of our past. Some of the tunes are great, some not so great, but Milt and Dave make it a fun time! And no, your episodes are NEVER too long!

  • Teen & GenX Road Trip Worthy

    I’m a 59 year old father of 19 year old twin sons. I discovered this podcast earlier this year and instantly connected with it given its focus on music from my generation. It became my go to source of entertainment for my runs and workouts but I think the ultimate compliment is that I threw on an episode as my sons and I left for a long road trip from Seattle to Missoula (8 hours one way) and we didn’t listen to anything else the entire trip. That’s right, we listened to 17 hours of Dave & Milt.... more
