I have tried to find and locate other podcasts with your spirit and you telling these podcasts. 3/4 of the episodes I’m usually smiling because the way that you tell a story it really takes me away from the world I’m in and reminisce with what you’re saying. It’s like you’re smiling during the whole podcast on most of them. Especially when talking about the toys, businesses, and anything else nostalgic. Thank you very much for having this podcast and I hope you never go anywhere. You have a great attitude. I don’t care how many millions of podcasts there are now I will never stop following this one. And still today I can’t find one that tells the story the way you do. So of course I “won’t dare miss it“ 😊🫡🇺🇸

Being a kid that grew up in the 80’s, this brings back fantastic memories… thank you for this 👍🏽🫶🏽

This podcast is fantastic and brings back so many memories. The host is so passionate and knowledgeable about the period. So glad to have found this

I’m An80s kid and this is a must listen. Great job man. Great podcast

Really interesting podcast on the best decade. Host must get paid by the minute tho. Speaks sooo slow and methodical. Have to play sped up.

I like this podcast. But the host can’t pronounce “nuclear” correctly, and during the Chernobyl episode, it drove me insane!

Sorry, I just had to get that out. I really like this podcast, but if you’re covering the 1980s you really have to know how to pronounce “nu-cle-ar,” as the word comes up a lot! If I have to listen to Jamie say “nuke-u-lar” one more time, my ears are going to start to bleed. Otherwise it’s a perfectly fine podcast, a little boring at times as topics and “bits” are often repeated from episode to episode, but there’s enough nostalgia to keep us Gen Xers coming back.

I love the amount of detail given in this podcast. It’s tough with historical podcasts like this to provide enough context, but at the same time, not get lost in too much detail. He somehow managed to walk this line.

Don't change a thing except add more excuses to talk laserdisc please. 🙇‍♂️💿

This is an easy to listen to podcast. The host is great, the topics are great. The only thing I would suggest is that you also list the U.S. customary measurement system when talking about these items…ie miles vs. kilometers for those topics that happened in the USA…such as the Balloon disaster of 1986 that happened in Ohio.

This is a great 80's nostalgia podcast! The subjects are really on point and well researched! The subjects he choses are so on point I really wish that he would do longer form podcasts on the subjects (example: the fall of Kodak, the Muppet Show) 30 minutes or so is just too quick for some of these subjects!! But 5 stars.

Such a wonderful time to grow up! Thanks for bringing us back with each episode!

I couldn’t even make it through one episode. Dull.

I never grew up in the 80’s or 90’s, and it makes me jealous of how things are now compared to what they where then

I look forward to every new episode of this Podcast.

I grew up during this time. I’m a 60’s kid. So this show is awesome. Love it.

The best nostalgic podcast. As someone obsessed with the 80s that wasn’t born even close to the decade I get to get a glimpse into life and pop culture in the decade.

Hi Jamie, I have really enjoyed listening to your program! Of course, you hooked me with the work I did with Jim and our amazing magic team! Loved the Muppet Babies episode! Hearing all of my friends names, and even some comments from Katie! I started working with Jim in 1980 and was with him until his passing. It was an amazing decade, and I am so incredibly blessed to have been part of Muppets Magic! Keep the magic and spirit alive 💚🌈 Guy Gilchrist

I love hearing about arguably the best decade of all time. It’s a straight up, to-the-point show with no filler. I think the host could be less robotic, and should sound like he actually enjoys what he’s doing. Otherwise, this is close to perfect as a nostalgia show can be.

Hey Sir! Your show is awesome. It takes me back! But what about the coolest 80’s prime time TV?! A-Team Knightrider Air Wolf Auto man V- the lizard aliens who peels their faces off …and you missed these movies! Karate Kid (best 80s movie ever) Superman, Superman II, Superman III Batteries Not Included

Just found the show and love it! Great format and awesome!

Imagine a podcast in which content is an audible listicle and you have this. The nature of essentially reading lists is the cadence of this content is delivered in 2 sentence chunks. Research is also questionable at best.

After 100+- episodes I just couldn’t listen anymore. His tone and delivery sounds so scripted and mundane. His push for patreon for 2 minutes on every episodes was too much and desperate.

Very interesting/entertaining! I was very young when the 80’s ended, so this podcast is teaching me some things I never knew. Also, I love when Jamie says “Don’t you dare miss it!” ❤️

I’m a GenXer and all of these casts help me remember things I may have forgotten. Loads of fun. Jamie is a great host and speaker. So happy I found this cast.

This is the first podcast review I’ve ever written, but I can’t stop binging this show. I imagine this series is to children of the 80s what Jean Shepard (A Christmas Story) felt like to kids of the 40s and 50s.

Great host and nostalgic content. Love it!

Super good 👍

Great podcast, as someone who grew up in the 80’s you’ve given me a lot fun memories to reflect on while listening. Thank for all your efforts.

I appreciate the balance of knowledge, entertainment, and personal anecdotes from the host. It puts this show on top of many, if not all other 80’s shows I’ve listened to. Highly recommend!

😘

Absolutely love the show. Thanks for keeping my childhood alive with your in -depth weekly reminders of an era of such great importance and influence. And so you know, I take a shot every time I hear you say “juggernaut “. 😊🥃

I was born in 1984 and I am a huge fan of nostalgia. This podcast hits all of the feels - touching on toys, television, movies, and other subjects that bring the listener right back into the 80’s. Awesome content. Five stars.

I just started listening because my sister told me about it and now I’m totally hooked!! His voice is so soothing too. I love how well he explains everything, there’s so many things I didn’t know.

Totally Awesome! If you are an 80’s kid or wish you were this is a must listen!!

I really enjoy this podcast. It’s very educational (even for topics that I thought I knew a lot about) while still keeping your attention. I really appreciate that the host gets right to the point, and there isn’t a lot of filler. I have trouble dealing with a lot of the “banter” on other shows. This podcast is such a refreshing difference, and very well made.

Much better than any of the others out there. No woke nonsense only neutral politics. Thank you. Just well researched history unlike the rest. Wish there were more episodes.

I cannot stop smiling while listening to this podcast. Download, start listening and track back to your favorite decade.

I was but a wee kid in the 80s (born in ‘82). But I was a part of, and remember, so much of this. I get nostalgic as I learn new facts about stuff I remember, or discover stuff about the 80s I didn’t know. Great material and delivery, Jamie. That said, the last handful of episodes I have listened to have been hard get through due to the recording/mix. It sounds like there is a really heavy gate on the mic resulting in the first sound of each sentence being slightly cut off, especially “P” and “B” consonants, and a slight pop when sound does come in. If you start a sentence with “But”, it sounds like “[popping sound]Ut…” I understand gates are useful and sometimes necessary to dry up the recording and cut out breathing and other extra noise. But it seems excessive to the point of distracting. Maybe it’s the platform on which I’m listening? But it’s in the uploading? I’m not a podcaster so I don’t know, but I am a musician and recording artist, so I can hear it. I won’t stop listening, it would just be nice if this gets better. Thank you.

This show is well researched, well presented and teaches me something new in every episode. Thank you.

If you love the 80s then this podcast is for you. I’m burning through all the shows. It’s easy to do.

The podcaster has a perfect tone, pace and enthusiasm to hear the podcast. Recommend to those who love the 80s.

Great…but please stop describing deregulation in every episode!

This is, the best back story to the 80s anywhere! Love to listen while doing everyday tasks! Better than Netflix 80s series

This is absolutely one of my favorite podcasts !! I love how Jamie gives US listeners a view point from a Canadian perspective !! ♥️

Discovered this podcast by accident, but have loved every episode. Jamie covers and captures all things 80s from music, movies, news and pop culture. It’s an awesome decade and Jamie helps remind me why I loved these times in my life. Look forward to a new episode every other week.

Every episode is full of fun, nostalgia and entertainment. My favorite podcast!

I love the stroll down memory lane!! I was a kid in the 80’s so it’s nice remembering or learning things I never knew!

Fire up the flux capacitor and grab your light saber. Best reflection of the most transformative decade. A favorite!
