  • I’d Like to Buy the World A Coke

    Hello, I found your podcast strictly by chance looking for the jingle from Coca-Cola. I’d like to buy the world of Coke. I was hooked, and I was laughing at all of your jingles suggestions, singing, antics. I really enjoyed it. You can now consider me a new fan thanks and I look forward to many many more podcasts in the future.

  • Like getting together every week with friends

    Life is stressful right now, and I really appreciate what these ladies bring to me every week: an opportunity to think back on the shows, music, and toys of my childhood. My sister and I are both loyal listeners and almost every episode spawns a conversation between us, remembering our own special stories.
