Episode notes

The things we loved when we were young were never just things. They were pieces of us.

A record we played until we wore it out. A movie we knew every line to. A toy we couldn't wait to show our friends. A video game we refused to stop playing. And that one snack that can still take us back to another time and place.

The Room We Wanted is a nostalgic podcast about the music, movies, TV shows, video games, toys, food, and obsessions that meant something to us when we were growing up, and what they mean to us now.

Each episode, hosts Brian Colburn (My Weekly Mixtape) and Jay Sweet (Tunestiles) sit down with a guest to build the room they wanted to live in growing up, picking four things they couldn't imagine their lives without: The Sound, The Screen, The Stuff, and The Taste.

Four choices. Four pieces of childhood. And together, they tell a much bigger story.

Because we're not just asking, “Hey! Remember this?”

We're asking, “Why did this matter so much?”

And maybe more importantly, “Does it still matter now?”

Because sometimes, the best way to understand who someone is today is to discover who they were before they became who they are.
