  • Love love love this show!

    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!

That’s right, we listened to 17 hours of Dave & Milt.... more

    These guys are awesome! Epic banter and a deep dive into a variety of topics. Really enjoyed hearing them discuss films and their personal take on actors / character portrayals. I couldn’t stop laughing! Detailed and fun from beginning to end. It’s a true hidden gym that’s a must add to the playlist! Looking forward to more!
