Everything Was Better Then

There are people who could talk for days about the 90s—the games, the TV, the stupid shit that mattered when you were a kid. Radio Nukular is basically a podcast of those people sitting around for hours just talking. No structure, no real plan, whatever nostalgia tangent pulls them in.

Some episodes don’t work. The Simpsons one had technical problems the whole way through, and the Ghostbusters tape went so far afield I gave up listening. But then they recorded this nearly five-hour Super Nintendo thing that somehow worked even though one of the hosts clearly didn’t know half the games being discussed. It didn’t matter. They were genuinely interested, and you feel that.

If you’re someone who thinks everything was better back then, this is it. Maybe it was. Maybe that’s just how nostalgia works—we’re all wired to miss the decade we grew up in. Either way, listen while you’re doing other things. Dishes. Walking. Jerking off. Whatever. It’s just people remembering together.
