The Reluctant Adult Podcast is your weekly reminder that growing up is optional, but buying toys as an adult is mandatory. Hosts Paul and Bill tackle the weird, wonderful world of pop culture, collectibles, and childhood obsessions that somehow got more expensive with age.

Best podcast about stealing toys from the side of the road and hiding things in a kickboard. If you like toys, you will like this.
You can tell these guys are long time pals and it really comes across while listening. It’s a great show to listen to to catch up on all the new toys news in a broad fun way. They never sound like they are talking down to the audience. They don’t pretend to be experts in areas they aren’t and that helps it feel like they are learning about the toys along side the fans.
I really like this show, but every once in a while I had to skip through a tirade with way too many “GD”s for my taste.
if you are missing this podcast... you are missing the most awesome and funny toys collectors and pop culture podcast on recent years. DONT CHANGE A BIT OF THE SHOW..
Look forward to listening each week! Great pod!
