    I wasn’t born in the 80’s, but I found this podcast very enjoyable and fun to listen to when im bored. I only wish it had more episodes with the Littles because they’re my personal favorite stars of the show. :)

  • Awesome! Totally Awesome!

    If you grew up in the 80s, you won't find a better podcast than Totally Rad Christmas. Gerry's a great host, and I'm not saying that just because he's had me on so many times.
