Fueled by Nostalgia

...but he still loves them. We promise, he actually makes a very valid point with his hot take on zombies. Yes, here we are again, smack dab in the middle of Halloween and we LOVE IT. This week we talk about how we'd survive a zombie apocalypse! Yes, we know, it's been done. It's been talked about by MANY other shows but honestly, we genuinely don't care. Are our takes unique and o...

For real people, how did we become the OLD PEOPLE?! Yes, we are all aware that our podcast is based on nostalgia, we get that but reading that Pearl Jam's "10" album is 35 FORKING YEARS OLD IS JUST TOO MUCH!!! That album is currently no longer partying, it's thinking that staying up past 10 is way too late and gets excited at the idea of buy a new pair of New Balance because Nikes...

We all know that one of the things that catch people in the feels is being exposed to stuff that brings on that wonderful feeling of nostalgia. That's why we do this show, because it gives three old heads the ability to chat each week about stuff that takes us back to that spot, that place where we were maybe exposed to something new, something that would inevitably imprint itself on our heart...

Welcome back, Combustors! That's right, you've found yourself once again riding with us for at LEAST an hour as we talk all things going on in the world. This week we are talking about how physical media has become a hot button issue, what with Sony and their Playstation shit choices really coming to the forefront. On top of that it's interesting how younger generations are actually ve...

Welcome back my friends to the show that never... lol well it didn't end but it took a break. Took a breather. And no, before anyone asks, Adam wasn't jailed by the current administration as they realize HE is the true brains behind Mamdani and the DS movement. Also, no, Taters did NOT find herself in a "Lost" scenario, where she was spending her time on a tropical island fleeing p...

Welcome back true believers! This week your favorite nostalgia fueled hosts take a quick glance at every something most every nerd has a love of...board games! Yup. Listen, at some point we've all played a board game. We all have family members we stopped talking to briefly because of a Monopoly incident nobody talks about. We've all made the dick move while playing Uno where we've don...

Salutations and greetings, true believers as you have once again found yourselves plugged into the GREATEST nostalgia based podcast found in the HISTORY of mankind!

This week we have our favorite Pop Cultureologist, one Mr. Zach Taylor for a sit down and chat sess...

That's right true believers, the man, the myth the LEGEND Mr. Cody Ziglar has returned! This week we chat with Mr. Ziglar about "Spider-Man: Brand New Day", chat about comics and Cody takes a sec to pull back the curtain and chat about his love of Miles Morales, writing for Marvel and She-Hulk AND a little origin story action as we learn how he got started in comics. How cool is that?!...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!! Yes, we've completed our FIRST FULL ROTATION AROUND THE SUN!!! That's right ladies and gentlemen, your favorite podcast has officially hit one year old. It's amazing when you think about where we came from to where we are now, running around like a drunk toddler, banging into things, making mistakes but laughing the whole way. We've learned so much in our fi...

This week we dial it back a bit, no guests, just the ol' tripod coming right at you with some... recycled nostalgia goodness! Your three heroes took the time, so YOU don't have to, to watch some movies based on old skool properties. We cover all things from "Battleship", Masters of the Universe, both new and old, the Barbie movie... just all of it. Anything that's an old IP tha...

This week we are proud to showcase our latest guest, Johnny G. Wiz drummer for "The Dreamboats"! What a cool opportunity we had to sit down and have a chat about all things music. It's so cool to talk to someone so passionate about what they do and that's Johnny. When we have the opportunity to sit in with us, someone passionate about what they do... the conversation just moves by...

Welcome to this week's edition of Fueled by Nostalgia! This week we welcome author Brian Cave, author of the "Old School Evil" series! Brain fell right in with this crew as we go over everything from old school cartoons we loved, Brian's amazing novels and...platypus milk? Yup, as usual we are a bunch of messy benches (been watching a LOT of "The Good Place", IYKYK) and you...

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends! We are BACK and this week we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Pokemon Go! Naturally one of us (Matt) took the assignment seriously and the other one (Adam) presented ideas for Pokemon you can eat. Taters then followed Adam down the dark path he started. Mind you, Matt isn't a better person because he too would not only happily eat Pok...

The title of the episode has absolute nothing to do with the actual episode but we LOVE a good pun. This week we talk about summers past, Taters delves into more of her life on the island growing up, Adam talks about having his toe mutilated in a fairly polluted NJ creek while trying to perform a rescue operation on a turtle and Matt throws out recommendations on his new favorite band! We're k...

Here we are people. It's almost that time again when Americans get out and celebrate their American-ness by eating copious amounts of charred food, blowing things up and, for some of us, going full Florida-Man. That happens, and it's fine. We get it, you're stoked about the birthday of your country. On this episode we talk about stuff that's amused us with the World Cup being in No...

We got to talk to Christopher Priest and Cody Ziglar!!! How cool is that?! That's right, ladies and gents, here at FBN we don't bury the lead! Phoenix FanFusion 2026 was damn good to us! We're keeping this intro short and sweet, so enjoy as we take you on an auditory journey with two amazing creators, Cody Ziglar and Christopher Priest!!!

It's over folks, and we did not just survive Phoenix FanFusion 2026...WE THRIVED. We got to talk to some amazing guests, meet some great new fans and just have an all around hell of a good time. Taters CLAIMS she doesn't have FanFusion hangover but we think she's just playing tough as she doesn't like showing any weakness (she feels as though her enemies are listening? It's a w...

We won't lie, we were a little nervous about our robot overlords taking over (Matt has a great respect for them so long as he can still watch funny animal videos...tbh all three of us feel that way) until we saw that video of the robot just kinda dying on the vine while attempting to moonwalk. This episode we go over our very valid mistrust of AI, Matt talks about being the old guy in line at...

Welcome welcome welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!!! Yes, I might be overselling it but Sun Tzu did say ""Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win". Translation, believe in yourself and we TOTALLY believe in ourselves. This week we did what we do best and that's sometimes just let the conversation be organic....

Greetings, Combustors (for now, that's what we're calling our listeners. We're trying a thing, go with it)! Here we are, back with another week of nostalgic goodness. Adam, Matt and Taters LOVE their respective Moms, of course, but you know what they also love? RANKING THINGS! MAKING LISTS! This week we ran a draft for our favorite pop-culture Moms and then ran those lists through the...

Why bury the lead, right? Today true believers we have the honor of hanging out with Zach Taylor!

We cover the full gamut of topics, from Matt talking about going to the first ever Phoenix ComicCon (back when it could legally be...

This week we are all about SPORTS! No, we're not talking about the immortal album by the great "Huey Lewis & the News". It's OUR time to shine, Huey and we did just that. This week we're happy to present our first guest, the amazing Dave Barend! Dave can be found at collegebasketballtimes.com and he melded beautifully with our little tripod. So we wish we could say that we...

This week we are fueled by our love of MTV, or at the very least what MTV used to be. We examine everything from our old school love music videos to TRL and some of the amazing cartoons featured on Liquid Television. For those of you who missed out on those years, you missed out on The Buggles, Cyndi Lauper being so perfectly weird, the amazingness that was seeing "Thriller" when it came o...

You know them, you love them...SPIES! This week we talk all about the spy flicks and tv shows we love. From Austin Powers to Bond to the Dynamic Duo known as Bea and Twila...let's just say if you dig spies and this one doesn't have it maybe you really didn't need it. Also, the triumphant return of TATERS! 100%, this show doesn't work without the third leg of the tripod. We LITERALL...
