The Retro Network Time Machine

The TRN Time Machine is going back in time to bring you a classic episode of our old TRN Podcast featuring Jason and Mickey sharing stories of the summers of their youths!  

We lost Jason tragically late last year, and as a way to keep his memory alive, we'll be dropping classic episodes from the past, as well as releasing old Patreon exclusive episodes that you've never heard before featuring Jason and Mickey at their nostalgic best.

In this bonus episode, Jason shares listener feedback from the Baseball episode including voicemail and comments.
