Nick D Podcast

Nick welcomes TV critic Dan Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter to discuss some great television and review new shows, including A Man on the Inside with Ted Danson, a new version of Cruel Intentions, Landman starring Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm, and Demi Moore, and The Day of the Jackal featuring Eddie Redmayne.

Then, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to share weird Thanksgiving stories, including feeding friends and Nick’s infamous 1993 drunken trip to Detroit to see the Lions play the Bears. Esma also talks about discovering The Sopranos (she’s all about Furio!) and explores why some people, not from California, become die-hard Raiders fans. They wrap up the episode by finishing their snack-tasting journey through Italy. [Ep301]

It’s a true milestone—The Nick D Podcast has reached its 300th episode! To commemorate this landmark achievement, Nick welcomes back his very first guest, the one and only Rich Koz (AKA: Svengoolie). Together, they celebrate the anniversary, reflect on that very first episode, and discuss other awesome moments. This year also marks the 45th anniversary of Svengoolie, so Nick and Rich dive into the character’s history, share wonderful memories from the past, and tell some incredible stories about their years in the broadcast industry. It’s a truly special interview with a legend, a hero, and a true gentleman.

Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to reminisce about how long they’ve worked together and play back some heartfelt (and hilarious) voicemails from well-wishers celebrating 300 episodes. They also get hilariously sidetracked chatting about being dumb DJs, poetry nobody remembers, and how Esma originally wanted to be a pediatrician—until a sign in her high school math room inspired her to pursue a career in radio.

It’s all part of the special celebration of 300 episodes of The Nick D Podcast! [Ep300]
