Tubular Time Machine

This week, we're not heading to a specific year. Nope. This week is all about reflecting on the totally radical ride that was Season One of this little nostalgia-fueled adventure we’ve all been on together. No time circuits to calibrate, no flux capacitor checks, no flying Deloreans. Just you and me, wrapping up what has been one radical first season of this nostalgia-fueled adventure. We’ve laugh...

This week on Tubular Time Machine , we’re rewinding all the way back to 2001 —and I’ve got the perfect co-pilot to guide us through the pop culture of that unforgettable year. Joining me is someone I first connected with through our mutual obsession: reality TV. He’s a full-on reality show junkie— The Amazing Race , Big Brother , The Challenge , and of course, Survivor . If it’s got alliances, tri...

This week's guest on the Tubular Time Machine is none other than the legendary Adam Poch—yes, that Adam from Big Brother Season 13!

While we've only met in person once—at a charity event over a decade ago—Adam and I quickly bonded over our mutual love of...

This week on The Tubular Time Machine , we’re flipping the script and taking a break from our usual journey through pop culture's past to do something a little different—and a whole lot special.

To celebrate Rook hitting this milest...

This week on Tubular Time Machine , we’re heading back to 1978 with someone who lived it firsthand—and lived it loud .

Lori is not only a true child of the '70s, but also a moth...

This week on Tubular Time Machine , I’m stoked to welcome a special guest and a longtime friend—someone I go way back with to the days of BBSs, dial-up tones, and digital mischief before the internet even knew what social media was. Joining me is Dan Duncan , a guy who knows how to belt out a karaoke tune, hit the gym, and still have room for a cold one on the Old Chicago World Beer Tour . He’s al...

This week on the Tubular Time Machine Podcast , I take a nostalgic dive into 1987 with a very special guest: longtime friend and fellow band geek, Dianna Hokenstad. Friends since high school, where their bond was forged through the rhythm and camaraderie of marching band, Dianna brings both her musical talent and her love of all things nerdy to the conversation. At 14 years old in 1987, Dianna exp...

This week on Tubular Time Machine , we’re cranking the dial all the way back to 1995! Today, we’re thrilled to welcome a very special guest to the show. He was once one of my star pupils—sharp, curious, and always asking the kind of questions that made the rest of the class lean in. But Jeremy Craig didn’t stop there. No, he took that passion for the past and ran with it—across the pond, no less!...

This week on Tubular Time Machine , we’re cranking the dial all the way back to 1974 — a year of bell bottoms, Watergate headlines, and the fizzy surprise of Pop Rocks.

But before he trades in his lesson plans for a...
