About oldguysports

Old Guy Sports is a sports nostalgia show with a distinctly personal center. Dave Molnar anchors the episodes as a fan, storyteller, and keeper of old sports memories. Miss Amy appears as co-host, often setting the table with affectionate ribbing and a sense that the show is happening inside a long-running household conversation. The tone is friendly. It is also proudly old-school. Episodes linger over the teams, players, records, films, leagues, and debates that made sports feel larger than the scoreboard. Baseball sits close to the heart of the show. The Cincinnati Reds of the 1970s get treated as a golden-era subject, not just a name from a history book. The AAGPBL also appears as part of the show’s interest in sports stories outside the most repeated canon. Football history has its own pull, especially when the NFL draft becomes a doorway into older pro football and names like Joe Steidahar, Dan Fortman, and Tuffy Lemons. The show likes a colorful name and a colorful career. It notices the linemen, the utility players, and the figures who made an era work without always getting the glory. Basketball memories, All-Star games, sports movies, and modern salary questions broaden the scope beyond one sport. The result is less like a stats podcast and more like a sports attic, carefully rummaged through by someone who knows why every program, hat, roster, and newspaper clipping still matters. Miss Amy’s presence gives that rummaging a playful counterweight. The humor is gentle, domestic, and occasionally quirky. The history is earnest. The show works best for listeners who enjoy sports through memory, personality, and old arguments as much as through current standings. It is especially suited to fans who want their sports past delivered with warmth, jokes, and a sincere belief that every remembered game still has a story attached.

Made for: Old Guy Sports is for fans who enjoy remembered teams, sports movies, and the personalities behind older eras of baseball, football, and basketball. It especially fits listeners who prefer warm storytelling over fast current-events debate.

What sets it apart: Its edge is the household chemistry between Dave Molnar and Miss Amy, paired with a fan’s deep attachment to sports memories. The show treats old rosters, colorful names, and personal recollections as part of the same living archive.

In their own words

Old Guy Sports is a podcast where nostalgia meets storytelling. Hosted by a lifelong sports fan and his witty co-host, Miss Amy, each episode dives into the games, players, and moments that shaped sports history—from the glory days of baseball in the ’70s to the legends, controversies, and underdog stories across all major sports. With humor, heart, and a dash of old-school perspective, Old Guy Sports is where fans relive the past while connecting it to today’s game.
