    Working through the archive from the past. Our first celebrity interview on 80's Reboot Overdrive was with the incredible voice actor Larry Kenney. Most people know Larry's voice as Lion-O from Thundercats and Bluegrass from Silverhawks but did you know he was also the voice behind Sonny the Cuckoo Bird from the Cocoa Puffs commercial?

Back in time

If you are looking for a podcast that takes you back in time, you have found it. The hosts have great chemistry between them. They are very knowledgeable about their topics. Enjoyed the episode “The Jerk”. I’m picking out a thermos for you.

Fun podcast on the 80’s and 90’s!

I have recently rediscovered the Banzai Retro movie podcast. They explore a variety of topics from the 70s, 80s and 90s. I enjoy that they stay focused on one topic and keep the episodes in mostly shortly time periods. The discussion is light and friendly. I especially enjoy (Suzanne, I think) her laugh! Keep up the Good work, guys!

Nostalgia to the max!!!

This podcast makes me feel the excitement I felt when Ducky was dancing in the record store in pretty in pink, when the breakfast club was dancing through the library, and when Tom cruise slid in those socks and his undies across the floor in risky business! But wait, this isn’t just about the 80’s! You get the best of several decades with this podcast including the 70’s and the 90’s. So much joy in one podcast! Thanks for what you do.
