Sorry but it sounds like your co-host at the end of each podcast is so bored or at the least not at all up to speed to pop culture like Nick is, which makes for awkwardness. Also, for the good of mankind, please have your movie reviewers review popular mainstream movies people actually watch instead of movies that played for a day at a festival.

Nick, while you are entitled to your opinion and to talk how you want on your podcast. I seriously wish you would stop mocking and making fun of Christianity. Just because you do not know anything about it and what you might know is based on media coverage doesn’t mean you should cutting anyone down or making fun of them. You presuming a movie is going to be a “train wreck” just because of the people being “crazy” is just wrong. You considering someone is crazy because of their beliefs is wrong. I do not think people are crazy because they do not believe the same way I do. Judging people base on their beliefs is you not being open to other view points. While there are lifestyles I do not agree with doesn’t mean I make fun of them or not like them. I do like you podcasts both of them, and look forward to listening, every week. Thank you for the podcasts and for the good work Kristie

The book series you were talking about with Ezma is called confessions of a teenage nanny

The show opener is good, but too many jungles is a bad thing especially when the jingles go on and on and on. Maybe a few bars that match the show opener, to establish continuity between segments or guests. Even 5 seconds is painfully too long and wack-a-doodle..

I’ve been listening to Nick’s podcasts since the first episode. Listen to each episode every week.

I used to be a fan back when he was kept under control at WGN. Here, it’s Nick unleashed and it’s a bit much. Not to mention the fact that he plugs his own events way too much and often. It’s clear he’s not in it to entertain, but to promote. I listen for the movie reviews but not much else, since I think that’s his forte.

He plays a song called “Congratulations” and it should be directed at himself. Yes this is the Nick D podcast, but all it is from beginning to end is an exercise in patting himself constantly on the back. Over and over again he plugs the same event even in the midst of interviewing a guest. It becomes comical to hear how much he loves himself and his events and his opinions. What’s funny is that he’s often full of hatred of such trivial things like movies too. It’s just sad that someone like this exists and has a platform, contributing nothing but the same lame jokes, stories and self-absorbed promotional material. It’s all about him, him, him even since he left WGN and what’s worse, there’s nothing new here to get excited about. Even his co-host Esma sounds bored and unengaged. Not sure why he hasn’t moved on but I would move on and far away from the Nick D Podcast ASAP.

Deleted review

Nick, I’m not sure who coddled you into thinking otherwise, but movie reviews are subjective not objective. I can sense your very nice co-critics bristle at your self-righteousness. It’s unprofessional and frankly, annoying to listen to.

I loved briefly in Chicago, 2002-2003, and I feel in love with WGN radio and really enjoyed Nick Digilio. He was definitely a really enjoyable part of my weeks. He is just naturally fun to listen to and is a nice guy. I long since moved away from Chicago, but those memories are so with me and I look forward to enjoying his podcast now.

In your movie review of the Iron Claw Nick you are so wrong about Chris Von Erich. He was 100 pct a Von Erich brother. Lance Van Erich was the fake Von Erich who was playing Fritz nephew. MJF filmed the role but was cut in the Final Cut.

Big fan of Nick’s for more than 20 years. So happy to have this podcast without all the junk we/he had to deal with when he was on WGN. Especially love the episodes that feature Erik and Steve, and Dan Fienberg. Thank you, Nick!

The best podcast with the best MUSIC

I listened to the latest of the actual idiot that hosts this. You and you guest were a joke. It’s hard to take idiots seriously when they don’t have the ability to have an “ADULT” conversation w/out (that means “without”) you highly educated idiot.

If you liked Nick on terrestrial radio, you’ll love the podcast. It’s like the energy of first hour of his radio show combined with the insanity of the 6th hour of Nick filling in for Steve and Johnnie. Plus swearing and Esmeralda.

Movie reviews are the best in the world.

Like listening to an over-caffeinated teenager, but with more profanity.

Best Podcast Ever! It's the Led Zeppelin of Podcasts!

I’ve been listening since I was 13. Nick rules and the car wash drools!

Nick D is on the air with funny stories and interesting guests! I am so glad you are back!! It is fantastic to be able to listen to you again and hear your interviews whenever I want. You have been greatly missed!!!

Just when you think this guy couldn’t get it any more boring. Even though he no longer works for WGN, he somehow still carries that unfiltered lackadaisical old guy in the young guys body view of entertainment and social issues. Favorite shows geared towards people who might know who he was when he worked for WGN, but what he doesn’t realize is these podcasts go out to a larger audience who have no clue where he came from and he doesn’t know how to tailor his shell in that manner. It makes for a very on interesting and quite Snoozy podcast.

Thank you for bringing your smart humor back into my world. Missed ya! Just found Steve too. Where the f#@% have I been?!

I loved Nick for political free fun and content. My kids and I listened to the WGN podcasts in the car. No more. To me F-feats are as uninteresting as political content. Canceled my Patreon also

So psyched to hear your voice again over the internet-waves!

It's great to hear Nick again. I missed his take on movies, TV and all things Chicago.

Been listening to Nick for 20 years and it’s wonderful to be reunited. Esmeralda rocks and I’m thrilled they are together again!

It’s so great to have Nick back! ~`Jill

Yup. It’s me… and yup… I’m a-found ya once again. !!! Yay !!!!!!!

Hearing Nick swear is the greatest thing I never knew I needed 🤍

So happy to hear his show his way.

Nick has broken the chains of his corporate overlords and is bringing his classic brand of humor and cultural observation to the masses UNCENSORED! Love hearing Nick’s movie reviews again. Awesome radio chemistry between Nick and regular cohost Esma. Always look forward to new episodes hitting my podcast app.

Glad to hear your voice and the voices of all of your colleagues again! Life just got better. Episode 2-just because you can use foul language doesn’t mean that you should. Thank you. Dang it! Too many “F” bombs. See ya.

Nick D is back?? I had just been searching the internet last year to see if you had a podcast or were still on AM. I listened and loved you back in the day. Stoked to listen to your new podcast. Congratulations!

Nick it’s Pam…..long time listener. Glad you are back and things are back to normal.

It’s so great to have Nick back!! I love his interviews and his interaction with Esmirelda. Nick, you sound great!!

Radio and Pod Cast GOAT

wgn’s. Loss. Great to have Nick back. Missed my connection to back home. One of the great things about the show is talking about tv . I just learned that all the Harold Lloyd shorts are on HBO max. Just a throw away comment on the show. But very valuable to me.

So thrilled to hear Nick D and friends back on the air. Pop culture, movie reviews, GREAT Stories… A little escape from the everyday and a true Chicago gem!

So happy to hear you again Nick! Missed listening to you! This is fantastic! Keep up the good work!

I’m so excited to know Nick is back!! And i’m also extremely happy to hear Esmerelda is back too. Missed you all so much!! My nights driving around in my truck will be complete again. Welcome back friends!!

It’s so great to have Nick Digilio back in my ears. I, like many, we’re so bummed when he was let go from a certain formerly awesome radio station in Chicago. His show is better than ever with many of the old segments from his radio show and old friends/guests. So if you are a fan of Nick or even just pop culture and like to have a fun listen, this is the podcast for you.

OUTSTANDING! OMG! I needed to hear this. I needed that theme song! The Nick D formulation of „UNbeleivable“! I needed those movie reviews and Steve and Eric! I will be back for more!!

Nick D is the best! This is the place if you need an escape from the pressures of this weird world we live in.

Like listening to Nick at night on the old station, but BETTER because there are no commercials. And, if I drift off to sleep I can go back and listen to it again. Words can’t express how much I’ve missed Nick D on the airwaves. Wonderful to have him back! Esmeralda is a very welcome addition to the show.

All is right with the world Nick, so glad you are back.

It’s so great to hear that voice! The one and only Nick Digilio. Heard your interview on Live From My Office and was so glad to have another of my favorite former radio hosts back in my ears. Congratulations and welcome back, Nick!

...with his tribe - welcome, home, Nick - we're thrilled, and you're better than ever!

Great to have Nick back.

So excited to have Nick back - and Esmeralda too! Am looking forward to all the TV, music and movie talk. And bring back the consumer guy. I learned so much from him.

Nick’s an awesome host! Great to have you join the “Podcast World”. Now I can listen to you anytime and share your episodes with friends. Also, how awesome to hear Rich Koz, in your first episode!! Keep being you and never change❤️
