Dave and Milt fire up the time machine to revisit Billboard’s Top 10 for the week ending September 10, 1988, amid banter about insomnia, last week’s “Freedom Rock” episode (and Finley the wonderdog), and some period trivia (Hurricane Gilbert, Jerry L... more
Dave and Milt record in person at Casa Wolfe for a special Past 10s episode that ditches the usual Billboard Top 10 format to start a “Freedom Rock” breakdown, inspired by the endlessly replayed 1987 TV ad. They explain the compilation’s formats (fou... more
Dave and Milt riff on Taco Bell shtick, Dolly Parton’s legacy, a listener spat sparked by Professor David Gallant’s harsh Rock Hall takes, and Dave’s front-row Squeeze concert (plus a grim Adam Ant review). The time machine lands on the Billboard Top... more
Dave and Milt reveal the listeners’ survey-driven top 10 forgotten ’80s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-worthy artists, noting the oddly neat result that—like the ’70s episode—about 10 acts clear a “put them in” majority threshold.

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!
Greetings from
Montana! I was nostalgic for old MTV Remote Control episodes and came across your Remote Control special! Now I’m enjoying the Time Machine! You guys have a pro-quality show and fun insight! Looking forward to more!
Love the history, banter and music!! Thank you
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

The show leans into nostalgia for the 70s and 80s (and beyond) by replaying and critiquing top-10 lists from those decades, with in-depth commentary on artists, chart trivia, and pop-culture context. Two hosts—David Yas and Michael Milt Wolfe—mix banter, personal anecdotes, and researcher-backed insights to explore why certain tracks stood out, flopped, or became cult favorites. Episodes often hinge on listener input, side quests about music videos or era culture, and recurring “time machine” segments, making it both entertaining and informative for classic-pop fans and music historians alike. A standout is the strong chemistry between hosts and their willingness to dive into both chart history and broader cultural moments, creating a livel... more
