Recent Reviews
  • DJ Stinky
    Stop with the Effin’ Jingles!
    The show opener is good, but too many jungles is a bad thing especially when the jingles go on and on and on. Maybe a few bars that match the show opener, to establish continuity between segments or guests. Even 5 seconds is painfully too long and wack-a-doodle..
  • DFcartman
    Enjoy listening to Nick D
    I’ve been listening to Nick’s podcasts since the first episode. Listen to each episode every week.
  • DanDadRock
    Host loves himself too much
    I used to be a fan back when he was kept under control at WGN. Here, it’s Nick unleashed and it’s a bit much. Not to mention the fact that he plugs his own events way too much and often. It’s clear he’s not in it to entertain, but to promote. I listen for the movie reviews but not much else, since I think that’s his forte.
  • chrismeades20
    Self-congratulatory host
    He plays a song called “Congratulations” and it should be directed at himself. Yes this is the Nick D podcast, but all it is from beginning to end is an exercise in patting himself constantly on the back. Over and over again he plugs the same event even in the midst of interviewing a guest. It becomes comical to hear how much he loves himself and his events and his opinions. What’s funny is that he’s often full of hatred of such trivial things like movies too. It’s just sad that someone like this exists and has a platform, contributing nothing but the same lame jokes, stories and self-absorbed promotional material. It’s all about him, him, him even since he left WGN and what’s worse, there’s nothing new here to get excited about. Even his co-host Esma sounds bored and unengaged. Not sure why he hasn’t moved on but I would move on and far away from the Nick D Podcast ASAP.
  • THESCOTTPRUITT
    Podcast titles.
    I listened to your ugly mouth and attitude towards everything on WLS. You’re a hateful little man. You’re disgusting. It’s 100% clear as to why WGN canned you. Grow up. Seriously. You child.

    Nick’s Reviews
    Nick, I’m not sure who coddled you into thinking otherwise, but movie reviews are subjective not objective. I can sense your very nice co-critics bristle at your self-righteousness. It’s unprofessional and frankly, annoying to listen to.
  • El Chonkolonko
    So happy to find Nick!
    I loved briefly in Chicago, 2002-2003, and I feel in love with WGN radio and really enjoyed Nick Digilio. He was definitely a really enjoyable part of my weeks. He is just naturally fun to listen to and is a nice guy. I long since moved away from Chicago, but those memories are so with me and I look forward to enjoying his podcast now.
  • Bjregin
    Wrong about Chris Von Erich
    In your movie review of the Iron Claw Nick you are so wrong about Chris Von Erich. He was 100 pct a Von Erich brother. Lance Van Erich was the fake Von Erich who was playing Fritz nephew. MJF filmed the role but was cut in the Final Cut.
  • Nick Jr. from Indiana
    Love Nick D!
    Big fan of Nick’s for more than 20 years. So happy to have this podcast without all the junk we/he had to deal with when he was on WGN. Especially love the episodes that feature Erik and Steve, and Dan Fienberg. Thank you, Nick!
  • judyjudeejudi
    The best Podcast
    The best podcast with the best MUSIC
  • Idiot nick
    Your masters episode from children.
    I listened to the latest of the actual idiot that hosts this. You and you guest were a joke. It’s hard to take idiots seriously when they don’t have the ability to have an “ADULT” conversation w/out (that means “without”) you highly educated idiot.
  • Charliebigred
    An amazing biweekly podcast
    If you liked Nick on terrestrial radio, you’ll love the podcast. It’s like the energy of first hour of his radio show combined with the insanity of the 6th hour of Nick filling in for Steve and Johnnie. Plus swearing and Esmeralda.
  • John from MKE
    Best movie reviews!
    Movie reviews are the best in the world.
  • uhhhyfghj
    Nope
    Like listening to an over-caffeinated teenager, but with more profanity.
  • ShogunAssassin69
    The Best
    Best Podcast Ever! It's the Led Zeppelin of Podcasts!
  • Tkingdom2386
    Nick rules!
    I’ve been listening since I was 13. Nick rules and the car wash drools!
  • Jorllen Marie B
    Hilarious podcast!
    Nick D is on the air with funny stories and interesting guests! I am so glad you are back!! It is fantastic to be able to listen to you again and hear your interviews whenever I want. You have been greatly missed!!!
  • MissileChicago
    Nick D horribly boring!
    Just when you think this guy couldn’t get it any more boring. Even though he no longer works for WGN, he somehow still carries that unfiltered lackadaisical old guy in the young guys body view of entertainment and social issues. Favorite shows geared towards people who might know who he was when he worked for WGN, but what he doesn’t realize is these podcasts go out to a larger audience who have no clue where he came from and he doesn’t know how to tailor his shell in that manner. It makes for a very on interesting and quite Snoozy podcast.
  • kimlwilken
    Hooray for Nick
    Thank you for bringing your smart humor back into my world. Missed ya! Just found Steve too. Where the f#@% have I been?!
  • Hockeymm11
    Yay
    I loved Nick for political free fun and content. My kids and I listened to the WGN podcasts in the car. No more. To me F-feats are as uninteresting as political content. Canceled my Patreon also
  • TravelMcTravelfaes

  • Shawn Thorpe
    Nick D. On The Loose!
    Nick has broken the chains of his corporate overlords and is bringing his classic brand of humor and cultural observation to the masses UNCENSORED! Love hearing Nick’s movie reviews again. Awesome radio chemistry between Nick and regular cohost Esma. Always look forward to new episodes hitting my podcast app.
  • Markinamom
    Thank goodness!
    Glad to hear your voice and the voices of all of your colleagues again! Life just got better. Episode 2-just because you can use foul language doesn’t mean that you should. Thank you. Dang it! Too many “F” bombs. See ya.
  • Tom FYI
    Whattttt
    Nick D is back?? I had just been searching the internet last year to see if you had a podcast or were still on AM. I listened and loved you back in the day. Stoked to listen to your new podcast. Congratulations!

    Great to have nick back in the air
    wgn’s. Loss. Great to have Nick back. Missed my connection to back home. One of the great things about the show is talking about tv . I just learned that all the Harold Lloyd shorts are on HBO max. Just a throw away comment on the show. But very valuable to me.
  • Barb4469
    Show Sounds Fantastic
    So thrilled to hear Nick D and friends back on the air. Pop culture, movie reviews, GREAT Stories… A little escape from the everyday and a true Chicago gem!
  • Jean Smart 3

  • Truck Driver Russ
    Welcome back!!
    I’m so excited to know Nick is back!! And i’m also extremely happy to hear Esmerelda is back too. Missed you all so much!! My nights driving around in my truck will be complete again. Welcome back friends!!
  • ADD1369
    The return of an old friend
    It’s so great to have Nick Digilio back in my ears. I, like many, we’re so bummed when he was let go from a certain formerly awesome radio station in Chicago. His show is better than ever with many of the old segments from his radio show and old friends/guests. So if you are a fan of Nick or even just pop culture and like to have a fun listen, this is the podcast for you.
  • Miles Horton
    Nick D Podcast
    OUTSTANDING! OMG! I needed to hear this. I needed that theme song! The Nick D formulation of „UNbeleivable“! I needed those movie reviews and Steve and Eric! I will be back for more!!
  • The ewh3000
    Alright, Alright, Alright
    Nick D is the best! This is the place if you need an escape from the pressures of this weird world we live in.
  • Macomb Dorie
    Even better than on the radio
    Like listening to Nick at night on the old station, but BETTER because there are no commercials. And, if I drift off to sleep I can go back and listen to it again. Words can’t express how much I’ve missed Nick D on the airwaves. Wonderful to have him back! Esmeralda is a very welcome addition to the show.
  • Cnote1026
    Nick Rules!
    All is right with the world Nick, so glad you are back.
  • Payton37
    Welcome back, Nick!
    It’s so great to hear that voice! The one and only Nick Digilio. Heard your interview on Live From My Office and was so glad to have another of my favorite former radio hosts back in my ears. Congratulations and welcome back, Nick!
  • CubbyBlue Jean
    Nick is home
