This is a great appetizer sampler of some of the most nostalgic topics from the decade! Grab your color-changing spoon from a box of cereal and let’s go back to a time when Scary Spice wasn’t scary at all, Kate Winselet made us want to be really great at spitting over the side of a ship, and dial-up internet was the wave of the future!

Feeling nostalgic? This episode helps to uncover how and why we get these feelings. Nostalgia is so powerful that it was deemed both a psychological disorder and case of demonic possession in the 17th century! Yikes! Nostalgia is one of the 27 main emotions that humans feel and can be triggered most by the sense of smell. This one is definitely nerdy with scientific findings that help us to uncover why we are so obsessed with the music, food and movies from the '90s (or any) decade! Grab your smell-o-vision and lets go back to a time when those who actually survived the 17th century were probably really clever at hiding their true emotions, Grandma's meatballs gave us all of the feels, and Steve Urkel could easily transport himself back in time with a wrist watch and we were all jealous. Life. Was. Good.

From Gwyneth and Brad, Reese and Ryan, Britney and Justin, to Johnny and Kate/Winona/Jennifer/Vanessa/Ellen/Amber Heard, the '90s made for the best celebrity couples and many uncoupling's! Join Katie along with Heather and David Eck (Clarissa Explains It All/almost BSB member) as they reminisce about all of the leading couples through the '90s decade! Will & Jada? Got you covered. Rose and Marilyn? Ugh, as if! Grab your Star magazine and let's go back to a time when the tabloid magazines of the '90s ruled our little gossiping lives, David and Victoria were, and still are, huge couple goals, and Winona was certainly "forever!" Life. Was. Good.

Was. Good.

Do you remember the dELiA*s catalog/magazine, dubbed as the magalog of the ‘90s decade? This episode takes a deep dive into the rise and fall of what was basically the clothing Bible for girls ages 10-24! The models were real girls who were scouted off the streets of their small towns and made us all feel like we could someday grace the pages of dELiA*s. Though the company was formed by two guys, they figured out the perfect formula to get new fashion trends into the hands of young girls until.. they hit a brick (& mortar) wall. Grab your parachute pants and let’s go back to a time when MiXeD teXT was super cool, girl power was brand new and we were suddenly experiencing the (much needed) “death of regionalism.” Life. Was. Good.

The ‘90s were the best for giving us some of our favorite kids movies! This week Katie’s kids join her in studio to talk about the 1993 hit movie, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. This one is great for young listeners to tune in to hear about the plot of the movie, that it was based on a book, and how the film all came to be! There are cat and dog jokes and the kids, ages 6 and 9, go way off script and it makes for a super cute episode! This will surely bring back nostalgia from nearly 30 years ago! Grab your VHS tapes and let’s go back to a time when we all wished we had a faithful dog like Shadow, that our cat actually had the voice of Sally Fields and Chance, voiced by Michael J. Fox, finally defeats Birdzilla! Now we are “too pooped to poop!” Life. Was. Good.

This episode is guaranteed to have so much '90s nostalgia for you! Katie and Heather remind you about all of the things you could do and OH the places you could visit in our '90s malls that you can't go to today! We all turned into animal rescuers as we saved the wind-up, yapping animals from their backs as we walked in to KB Toys. Owe shopped at stores like Wet Seal, Sharper Image, The Limited Too, Delia's, Structure, Rave, 5-7-9 and SO many more! Don't forget about the nostalgic food and drinks we had too like Orbitz, Creme Savers, String Thing, Squeezit, Pepsi Blue, Butterfinger BB's and Baby Bottle Pop! Commercials clips included! Grab your Toys 'R Us Geoffrey Dollars and let's go back to a time when rummaging through the toy aisles could provide hours of titillating entertainment, stores in the mall like Discovery World helped us to discover freeze-dried ice cream for the first time and immediately made us want to become astronauts just so we could eat more, and the food pyramid that emerged in 1992 became our holy grail of dieting. Prepare for your deepest memories to be unlocked! This is a fun one! Life. Was. Good.

Join Katie and Heather for part one on the nastalgic topic of "Things You Could Do In the 90's, That You Can't Do In 2022!"

And let's not forget about all of the technology we had in the 90's! Hello 5-disc CD changer in the trunk of your car! Remember when you had to be kind and rewind your VHS tapes so you didn't get fined $1 from Blockbuster? Or how about memorizing all of your friend's phone numbers out of necessity, and without an area code? How about looking through the peephole on a disposable camera to take a photo of your friends only to find out a week later that half of them blinked and now you're stuck with the doubles? Remember calling the movie theater to listen to a pre-recording of what times the movies started? Or not being able to save your progress in a video game? Grab your chimichanga from Chi-Chi's and let's go back to a time when the restaurant peaked in the mid 90's, then was hit with the largest Hepatitis A outbreak in the country from contaminated onions and filed bankruptcy after many filed lawsuits against the restaurant chain. What a time to be alive! Well, as long as you didn't eat the onions! Life. Was. Good.
