My So-Called Whatever is a weekly 80’s/90’s nostalgia and NKOTB podcast (New Kids on the Block) based on awkward moments and experiences of two life-long friends and their listeners. If you love New Kids on the Block, you'll love our biweekly "Block Party" episodes where we share NKOTB fan stories from our listeners or even get lucky enough to have a special guest. Be sure to check out our Original Cover Girl episode where we find and talk to the Original Hangin' Tough Cover Girl - or dive into one of our Donnie Wahlberg Episodes (seriously - is this real life?) OR our amazing Joey McIntyre episode - we still can't believe that happened!

If you love the 80s & 90s you'll love our biweekly nostalgia episodes that dive into many great topics that we love to discuss and remember. We love it when we're able to share a story from our listeners and it's SO exciting when we get the opportunity to bring on a special guest. We've been VERY lucky to have some very special guests on our podcast - in addition to Joey McIntyre (New Kids on the Block) and Donnie Wahlberg (New Kids on the Block) - such as Joey Fatone (*NSYNC), Chris Kirkpatrick (*NSYNC), Jeff Timmons (98 Degrees), Mark Calderon (Color Me Badd), Shane McDermott (Swans Crossing, Airborne), and Keith Coogan (Adventures in Babysitting, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead).
