In this podcast, we talk about pop culture and many other nerdy, nostalgic things. We'll try to keep it to the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, but sometimes things go sideways. On every episode, we chat with guests about...well, who knows? We will try a fun snack food not typically found in western Canada and read some mail we've received recently. Stick around. You might like what you hear!
Saki from Japan joins me to talk about highlights from her trip to visit her family and the cat robots. We also try a few snack foods. Pocari Sweat, browned butter Pocky, and Super Cola candies. Have a listen!
