This week, Lisa takes us back to the 1990s, the last decade that wasn't lived online. A time of Drew Barrymore in Poison Ivy, Aerosmith music videos, BT phonecards, Sky magazine problem pages, waiting by the landline for your crush to call, and the intoxicating belief that anything was possible.
But was it really better, or are we just romanticising the past?
In this episode, Lisa examines the Top 7 things Gen X women miss most about the 90s, from magazines we devoured like instruction manuals, to slip dresses over white t-shirts, to dancefloors where no one was filming, to crushes that lasted months off a single glance in the corridor. Then Sarah unpacks the psychology of nostalgia, why it hits so hard, what we're really longing for, and how we might recapture that feeling.
