Such a great show! It’s like I was there with these ladies! They really hit the great memories of the 80s. And it’s a refreshing show because they’re clean about everything they talk about., you don’t see that a lot anymore. I feel like I’m stepping back in a time machine
Listening to these ladies while commuting to work. They are a breath of fresh air for their clean, but fun delivery. So different than some of the other podcasts I’ve listened to. I recommend this show for anyone who enjoy a good reminisce!
I really like this weekly podcast! I listened to different podcasts that feature pop culture of the 80’s and listening to the Caramel Apples, I was pleasantly surprised. They seem to enjoy their niche topics and their chemistry together is evident. I’m hooked! Would love to hear a show on The Muppet Babies. Please, please!! 😉
These zany ladies are a lot of fun! They take the nostalgic listener back to our childhood and talk about some of the most beloved memories. I liked the extensive coverage on Voltron, Super Mario Bros., and what kid didn’t like Inspector Gadget? If you’re looking for a good throwback podcast, check these caramel apples out. You won’t be disappointed!
The Caramel Apples podcast is my weekly nostalgia oasis. It celebrates everything we loved about the 70s and 80s and reminds us why those decades were so special. The hosts' passion and curiosity about retro culture are infectious!
Great host with a great podcast - so easy to listen to - keep up the good work.
You ladies are cracking me up!!! I absolutely loved New Kids and had no idea the history behind them- I just knew they where the dream band of my era. Absolutely love your show and can’t wait to listen to them all.
It is nice to listen to something wholesome in the way of entertainment currently. Listening to some of the “retro” subjects from times past is quite refreshing. Well done, and keep ‘‘em coming Caramel Apples!!
This is a great show! Going back and hearing so many cool things I remember in my younger days, really puts a smile on my face! I enjoy these caramel apples LOL
These two ladies bring you back to a time when it was care free and easy going. Things were better: music, tv shows, movies, toys, etc. it is refreshing and fun to listen to this podcast brings back great memories. Keep up the great work on the orchard.
What a good time. Makes me smile remembering the good times. Your husband has great taste, Huey Lewis and the News is amazing. Can’t wait for more.
As you said, growing up in the 70s and 80s definitely makes us “ generation X-perts”
And I truly enjoyed taking that little trip back to better times. Keep the nostalgia train coming, you got a fan in me!!!!
On the note about a sequel to E.T., I haven’t heard anything, but I am all in if Steven Spielberg decides to do it.
Thanks again.
