My Favorite Podcast!
Huge fan! I listen (w/o headphones) full blast on my near-daily fitness walks at a local park. I’d like to think that anyone who passes by assumes I’m talking to my husband - so your podcast is a built-in personal safety measure- that and I’m the weirdo laughing out loud! Anyway, I stumbled upon your episode a few months back and immediately binged all! Your podcast is the perfect combination of everything this fellow GenXer absolutely loves; retrospective music discussion, witty banter and hilarious commentary! You two were robbed and have nothing over the Kelce Brothers! The isolated double-entendre sound bites at the end of the cast are the icing on the cake!
Great Road Entertainment - Teen Tested & Approved
I'm a true GenX guy so I quickly fell in love with the music and different lists that Dave and Milt played on PAST TENS. I loved their banter and the structure of their show was super fun and entertaining. But the true test came last week when I had an 8 hour drive to Missoula, Montana (from Seattle) for a Pearl Jam concert with my 18 year twin sons. I suggested we listen to an episode as we headed east and my son kept picking episode after episode the whole drive. We literally listened to the Top 10 Time Machine Pod for 17 hours over 3 days - and my son can't stop raving about it. It's pretty special to be able to share a love of music with your kids and I know from listening to them that David and Milt feel the same way. Thanks for the fun guys - looking forward to more shows in the future.
Epic!
These guys are awesome! Epic banter and a deep dive into a variety of topics. Really enjoyed hearing them discuss films and their personal take on actors / character portrayals. I couldn’t stop laughing! Detailed and fun from beginning to end. It’s a true hidden gym that’s a must add to the playlist! Looking forward to more!

Great show!
Look forward to this show every week! I became aware of music in the 80s / MTV days so especially love the 80s shows. This show is simply fun! Keep it up guys! I think you still owe me a shirt…. President James Buchanan

Best Podcast Ever
Every Friday is like Christmas because Milt and Dave drop a new episode of Past Tens. I love the banter between these two best friends and the knowledge they possess about music and the incredible artists. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Dave in person and he’s as likable in person as he is on his podcast. Can’t wait to meet Milt and shake his hand.

Made My Day despite the butchering of my name…
Really enjoy your podcast. It made my day when I heard my name on your latest pod. We are similar in age with mostly similar taste. The moment I got really hooked was when The Georgia Satellites made a countdown and Milt said, “God damnit, I really like this song!!!!”
It was my fault that I didn’t include the pronunciation of my last name. Freund (friend)
Great podcast!! Love it.
I love your podcast and always look forward to your new shows. Can you tell me the name of the dj you mentioned who makes the great mashups?
Thanks and keep up the great podcasting!
Takes me back
Love this podcast! It always takes me back to a specific place and time.
The boys do a great job bringing the truth when it comes to some of the tunes that fall into the top ten.
Keep it up!!!

Excellent podcast!
It’s not that I'm anti-podcast; it's just that I almost never listen to them. Still, when I came across the 9/2/21 episode of the Top 10 Time Machine, I thought I'd give it a five-minute whirl. I have especially fond musical memories from 1984 and was curious to see what songs would come up. Plus, I know Dave and admire his MC skills and pop culture prowess.
I thought Dave and Milt were terrific. To my own surprise, I listed to the nearly 2 hour episode straight through. Dave and Milt opined impressively about the songs’ quality, backstories and their place in musical/pop culture then and now. But even better, they talked about the feeling or vibe (good or bad) the songs evoked - that's a hard thing to capture, and especially glorious when it resonates.
Here's the best thing. As a heard Missing You, Lets Go Crazy, She Bop, the Warrior and the rest, and listened to Dave and Milt’s banter about them, I started remembering my 14 year old self when these songs were part of my summer of 1984 soundtrack; where I was, what I was doing, who I was with, and especially how those songs made me feel at the time. What at trip!

Love your podcast!!
I stumbled upon your podcast recently and am now going back and listening to all past episodes in order. Love going back in time to the past and reliving memories and seeing which songs still hold up and which don't.

The Pod That I Love
Absolutely love this podcast! Especially enjoyed this week’s episode, in which Milt and Dave finally come around to the saccharine-sweet and maudlin genius that is Air Supply. Clearly a supergroup that was way ahead of its time and a true dominitzing force. Milt and Dave are pop culture savants, with perfect chemistry and hilarious banter that make pod magic out of nothing at all. With each episode these guys take me right back to my college years and somehow make me feel as if I’ve known them forever. Brings up great memories of leafing through my CD collection and spending countless hours listening to great music. 5 Stars!

Threads the Needle...
...of expertise, fun, engaging banter, self-deprecation. Super music knowledge, reminded of tunes I’ve missed and tunes I wish I had missed altogether. And they avoid the too common podcast perils of unfocused and smugness. Keep up the fine work guys!

An Excellent Listen
Discovering Past 10s podcast is much like finding about a new band after the release of their 3rd album. How did I miss this and where have I been? David and Michael have created a vehicle that cleverly allows for a fresh and unique look back at different eras of music that feels so familiar and welcomed. Nostalgic definitely but also very interesting. The podcasts are well produced, researched and funny. Highly recommended!

Not Bad... really do enjoy the show!!
I came to the podcast after week 5 and thought it to be the most cynical thing I had ever heard. Maybe I was the cynical one. I enjoy the look back that Milt and Dave provide. When the throw out subtleties In their conversation that is when they are the best. They don’t believe it but a really good podcast to run to as well.

Music Lovers Rejoice (Needless Parentheses)
This show is amazing! I started listening late, but I’m almost caught up now. The rapport between hosts Dave and Milt is palpable. You can tell they have a deep friendship and a history with listening to much of the music that winds up on these top 10 lists.
Keep up the good work, guys!

A go-to podcast for me!
Highly recommend for those who want to learn more about music, the artists behind the music, and be entertained in the process. Dave and Milt are hysterical!

Put me on this show!
Love, love, love this show. Like a time machine back to the countdown days. And oh by the way, this 80’s-obsessed listener used to keep a notebook of Casey Casey’s weekly countdowns and related stats like “Biggest Mover in the Countdown” and “Remake”. Also love that you guys do some research (or are just cursed with insane memories of trivial entertainment news and nuggets) to dissect the songs and artists themselves. Thank you for bringing me back. In the words of Eddie Money, “I Wanna Go Back”!...

LOVE Reelin’ in the Years with these guys!
Love, love, LOVE this podcast! Michael (“Milt”) and David are so knowledgeable and have great chemistry and banter. They say things I am thinking! I am a big fan of the flux capacitor and all of their other pop culture references. This podcast really brings me back and their sometimes obscure, sometimes inappropriate (in a good way), sometimes self-deprecating, always hilarious commentary puts me in a great mood with every episode. Keep Reelin’ in the Years guys!

Brings me back
Each podcast surfaces a musical moment in time that makes me smile. The commentary makes me laugh. Hard. Wonderful interplay. Always enjoy the notification another episode is waiting. Keep it going!!

Fun flashback to top tens from my youth
I love this show! Milt and Dave really know their stuff and I always learn a new fact or two about an ol’ skool artist. As a loyal Casey Kasem weekly listener in the 80’s this podcast is a great facsimile of a kinder, gentler time when all we had was the radio and MTV. A must listen for all music fans!
