Your host, Tim Nydell

Tim Nydell is an ’80s kid who grew up in Reno, Nevada—“The Biggest Little City in the World.” For over 20 years, Tim has been interviewing celebrities, a journey that began in 2001 when he launched a website (Rock Bottom) featuring conversations with his favorite rock bands and actors.

After the passing of his father in 2012, Tim created the popular show Saturday Morning Rewind — a heartfelt escape that helped him navigate the loss of one of his best friends. Through the show, he fulfilled a lifelong dream of interviewing the iconic voice actors behind the cartoons he grew up watching and loving.

You may have even spotted Tim on screen, including brief appearances in four episodes of Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner, along with roles in various independent films over the years. You can explore his work on IMDb.

A devoted husband of over 20 years and proud father of three daughters, Tim finds joy, comfort, and connection in everything retro and nostalgic.
