  • Can’t Wait to listen to them all!

    I’ve been a 3rd shift worker for 26 years now and a toy fanatic for 44. I most of my nights drag on without being able to listen to some cool stuff. This podcast is great they channel my inner child and make my nights fly by. I remember a time when toy collecting and comic reading would get you bullied and made fun of and I love that now as adults we’ve turned it into something more like a community of like minded people who can come together and feel out on things we love. Thank you!
