  • The Watch Podcast

    This is the epitome of what a watch podcast should be. James and Jason talk about watches, but they talk about so much more. Watches are a conduit to discuss life, leisure, adventure, subcultures, and more. These guys could go a whole hour episode and talk about watches for 5 minutes of it, and yet, it is still great.

I sincerely thought podcast were super boring, for educated millennials, or just a waste of time. How wrong I was! The Grey Nato not only is hosted by two guys that are such a heartfelt and dynamic duo but is genuinely exciting, engaging, educational, relaxing, funny, and all together awesome. Will be a life long paid s... more
