thereluctantadultpodcast

The Reluctant Adult Podcast is your weekly reminder that growing up is optional, but buying toys as an adult is mandatory. Hosts Paul and Bill tackle the weird, wonderful world of pop culture, collectibles, and childhood obsessions that somehow got more expensive with age. From action figures to comic cons, they cover it all with the enthusiasm of kids and the disposable income of adults (barely). If your idea of “adulting” is deciding whether to open the box, this show is for you. New episodes drop
