  • Sweet Home Chicago

    I miss my hometown every single day, and this podcast gives me a taste of home. Even when Pete is talking about things way before my time, the episodes are still a comfort. I just love this so much!

  • Follow Up

    I gave this podcast a five star review a year ago and now I wish I could give a sixth star. The show was great and continues to get better. The most recent episode about watching Cubs games reminded me of running home from school in April and May to catch as much of the game as I could. The Danley garage commercials, and the Victory Auto ad with the guy with the huge watchband whose door falls off are like an old blanket. Great show and the host really knows his city.

  • Really enjoyable trip down memory lane

    Grew up in Albany Park and really enjoyed the Svengoolie and Batman episodes. Keep up the good work. Any true Chicago needs to give Pete a listen.
