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!

Mike from Crown Point · Dec 2023

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.

Charliebigred · Jan 2023

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.

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!!!

Jorllen Marie B · Sep 2022

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.

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.
