If you would like to be on the show, please contact them on twitter @omfg72021 or email them at: nka. ohmyfangirl@gmail.com. We would love to hear your stories!

On October 7th, That Wahlburgers Chick spoke with Danielle from Virginia. She told us the very first time she ever saw NKOTB, she was 10 yearsold and the guys performed “Hangin’ Tough” on the Mickey Mouse Show. She immediately became a Donnie girl. However, after hearing the song, “I’ll Be Loving You Forever,” she quickly changed her mind and became a Jordan girl. Her entire room including her closet was covered in NKOTB posters. Danielle spoke about her first concert experience in 2019 after multiple attempts to see them earlier. She was able to attend three concerts that year thanks to gifts from her friends. Her latest adventure was in Fenway where she met Paul Wahlberg.

On October 14, Khalilah took us down her memory lane, as she shared that she was 12 years old when she heard “Please Don’t Go Girl” and fell in love with Joey. In addition to decorating her room as an adolescent, she also wrote NKOTB on all her clothes. It took her 30 years for her to go to her first full group concert. She met Danny at his show in 2000 and told them how much she wanted the group to get back together. She saw him again at a NKOTB convention. Since the reunion, she has had many concert memories, including the Apollo show in 2019.

On Oct. 21, we heard Vevay’s story. She talked about being 12 years-old and having no clue who NKOTB was. She was on a camping trip where she met a little girl around the same age and recalled looking at the Teen magazines and noticing Joey for the first time. She instantly became a Joey girl. Her first concert was in 1990 at Dodger Stadium. She was able to attend both the Magic Summer and the No More Games tour. She also attended the Mixtape tour in 2019. Seeing them in 2019 brought a huge welcome change in her mental health, and she is so grateful to have NKOTB back in her life.

On Oct. 29, we heard Lisa’s story. Lisa is the creator of NKOTB History on Twitter and the writer of the history column in our magazine. She shared with us about how NKOTB History started and how it has continued to be a success. She shared with us so many fond memories of her concert experiences, as well as the memorabilia she still has in her possession.

New Pod on the Block S1:E7 “Top 10 Under Rated Boyband Songs”

This week, Josh and Mike talked about their top 10 most underrated boyband songs. This was a fun episode. For the top 3 on this list, the guys picked “The Hardest Part of Breaking Up is Getting Back Your Stuff” by 2Gether, “Back Here” by BBMAK, and, in the number 1 spot, “Faded” by Soul Decision. This was an interesting episode because most songs were ones I either had never heard of or had forgotten about. This episode opened my eyes to some new music ideas to use on my show.

New Pod on the Block S1:E1

This was the premiere episode of New Pod on the Block, where the guys put together their ultimate boyband. Their band included Jordan Knight, Justin Timberlake, Brian Littrell, AJ McClean, and Michael McCary. The band was called, “Permission Slip” after two calls that came into their voicemail line. If I had to pick my favorite New Pod on the Block episode of all time, this would be it.

New Pod on The Block S1:E2

This week, the guys talked about the top 10 boyband bangers. Josh and Mike’s top 3 were “No Diggity” by Black Street, “Motown Philly” by Boyz II Men, and “Poison” by Bell Biv Devoe. Their definition of a Banger is, “One where in the first 2 seconds, you know exactly what song it is, and you must get on the dance floor.” The list for this episode had a very strong club vibe to it, and I must agree they were all songs that made you want to get up and dance.

New Pod on the Block S1:E4

In this episode, the guys discussed 90s fashion. They identified 15 items and discussed whether they were ok with the styles coming back or if they should stay in the 90s. Mike said he had frosted tips in the 90s, but he doesn’t think he could pull it off now. Both guys said they were ok with wearing oversized shirts but not oversized pants. They were also ok with layers to an extent, like wearing a shirt under a basketball jersey. And they both said overalls still worked for girls but not for guys. They were down for girls who still wear chokers, but the chokers need to be thin and classy ones. The guys always do a “Right Stuff” segment at the end of every episode where they talk about something boybands did right, and, this time, it was JC’s hair, which always seems to be on point.

Josh and Mike Said What? S1:E7

This week, Sue and Kristen joined me. Like me, they had not heard a lot of these songs, and it was fun listening to something new and talking about what songs we consider to be underrated. I love “The Hardest Part of Breaking Up is Getting Back Your Stuff,” and it was fun to hear it again. I’ve played it on my show a few times since this episode aired. J

osh and Mike Said What? (Special with Josh and Mike)

This episode was one I had been waiting for since I started this podcast: the opportunity to have Josh and Mike join us. Debra and Sue also joined me. The girls and I put together our own ultimate boybands, and it was amazing to discuss our lists with Josh and Mike and to make comparisons.

Josh and Mike Said What? S1:E2

Kara and Amber of BSB Fan Girls and Jaime of NK Airplay Radio joined me for this show. This was a fun episode for us to record, and I loved working with the girls from BSB Fangirls. We did have some differences in opinion from Josh and Mike as far as songs that did and did not make the list and where the songs were ranked. As with previous episodes, I was disappointed the guys didn’t include New Kids on the Block, but, other than that, I think they put together a really good list. I loved that they pulled out some groups like B2K, 112, and Dream Street. I feel like their list brought more diversity to the station, and I love anything that brings in new listeners. J

This week Jen, Kara, and Erzsie joined me. This was such a fun episode to do: revisiting 90s fashion. I personally rocked a lot of overalls and flannels. I wasn’t so much into leather jackets, but I did have a jean jacket that was my favorite. I wore it all the time and decorated it with pins and patches. I didn’t feel I really fit into any specific fashion group, but I did go through phases like a goth phase, a grunge phase, and a preppy phase. It was fun digging up some of my 90s fashion items, wearing them to record this episode, and talking to the other girls about their memories of 90s fashion. We realized how similar we all were, even though we grew up in various parts of the country. It’s also fun seeing some of the 90s fashion crazes coming back these days.
