Customer Reviews
The Real Deal Right Here
These guys are just flat out awesome and a total pleasure to listen to. Not only are they highly knowledgeable but they’re also hilarious! You just get the overwhelming sense that they’re cool guys who you’d actually want to hang out with in real life. The production is professional, the topics are relevant, and the tunes are funky fresh! ENJOY THE WAVES, EVERYONE!
Fun, Nostalgic, and Great Chemistry
Retro Gaming Boombox is a trip down memory lane. Rick and Sal have great chemistry and are growing with each episode. This podcast has reminded me of some of my favorite childhood games and introduced me to a few hidden gems. If you like silly banter and videogames give this podcast a listen!
Nostalgic and fun
I've liked every episode of the show so far (episode 0 is just a test and not indicative of the whole series, but still enjoyable to listen to). Rick and Jamie both have different strengths as hosts and they are beginning to establish roles for one another as the show goes on. The on-air chemistry is entertaining and I feel like with some polishing the show will sound like legitimate talk radio. The production value is impressively high, especially for a new podcast, and the sampling is done incredibly well. I'm excited to see where everything goes!
