EP. 2: Pop Culture, Nostalgia & Society— The Media That Made Us Quiet, Curious, or Confused

This episode explores how growing up in the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s shaped us — not just our personalities, but our expectations, our creativity, and our sense of identity. We dive into how 90s R&B practically raised half the Black community, how TV characters and sitcom families became our unofficial therapists, and how the media often misunderstood quiet kids long before the world did.

We also unpack the impact of pop culture moments that shaped us, healed us, embarrassed us, or just had us staring at the screen like, “…now why would they do that?”

This episode blends nostalgia, humor, and cultural truth to examine how the media we consumed still echoes in who we are today.
