As a child of the 80s/90s myself, I can relate to the topics they discuss and often find myself laughing out loud at their witty banter.
One of the best aspects of The Purple Stuff Podcast is the chemistry between Matt and Jay. Their love for all things food and entertainment from the 80s and 90s shines through in every episode. It feels like hanging out with old friends as they reminisce about long-lost TV shows, movies, toys, games, and food. They have an extensive knowledge of pop culture from that era, making it a joy to listen to their discussions.

While there aren't many negative aspects to The Purple Stuff Podcast, one downside is that some topics may not resonate with listeners who didn't grow up in the same cultural context. As someone from a different culture, I haven't experienced some of the things they talk about firsthand but can still appreciate their enthusiasm.

Matt and Jay's passion for nostalgia is infectious, making each episode enjoyable and entertaining. Whether you're reliving your own childhood or discovering new (old) things, this podcast is sure to bring back fond memories and put a smile on your face.
