Growing Up Millennial is a podcast about all that media we used to love during the 90s and early aughts. We’re in full nostalgia mode, and we are asking ourselves the tough questions, like how do we make sure our Tamagotchis and GigaPets don’t die?

    Ivy Insights

    The Growing Up Millennial podcast is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon recently, and I must say, I am completely obsessed! Hosted by a dynamic duo who have a fantastic way of blending humor and insight, this show takes me on a nostalgic journey as they revisit movies from our childhood. It feels as though I am catching up with old friends at brunch or happy hour, reminiscing about the good old days. This podcast has quickly become a favorite in my rotation, leaving me eagerly awaiting each new episode.

    One of the best aspects of The Growing Up Millennial podcast is the hosts' ability to strike the perfect balance between humor and insightful commentary. They manage to infuse each episode with their unique brand of wit, making it incredibly entertaining to listen to. It's refreshing how they don't take themselves too seriously while still providing valuable insights into the movies they discuss. Their jokes and banter create an atmosphere that is both lighthearted and engaging, drawing listeners in and keeping them hooked throughout the entire episode.

    Another commendable aspect of this podcast is its ability to evoke strong feelings of nostalgia. As someone who grew up watching these movies alongside my sibling, tuning in to The Growing Up Millennial instantly brings back memories from my childhood. It's like rediscovering forgotten treasures as they revisit films that we loved and cherished during those formative years. This podcast not only helps us reminisce but also offers fresh perspectives on these movies through adult lenses, stimulating thought-provoking discussions that blend past and present seamlessly.

    While The Growing Up Millennial podcast has many outstanding qualities, it does have a few minor drawbacks worth mentioning. Occasionally, the hosts' banter can come across as overly casual or tangential, which may deter some listeners seeking a more focused discussion. Additionally, there are moments when inside jokes or references may be lost on new listeners who haven't been following along since the beginning. However, these minor shortcomings are easily overshadowed by the overall charm and entertainment value of the show.

    In conclusion, The Growing Up Millennial podcast is an absolute must-listen for anyone who wants to indulge in a nostalgic trip down memory lane. With its perfect blend of humor and insight, this show brings back fond memories of our childhood movies while providing fresh perspectives on them as adults. The hosts create a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes listeners feel like they're catching up with old friends, adding a personal touch to each episode. While it may have a few minor drawbacks, The Growing Up Millennial remains an incredibly enjoyable and witty podcast that leaves me craving more with each episode.

    Get your passports ready, we're headed to Paris! Well, more like Parisian streets with a heavy dose of California interior and exterior shots, but you get the picture. Join Helene and Adri as they dish all about the 1999 Dualstar Entertainment / Tapestry Films classic that made us want crossbody backpacks, Passport to Paris.  Pass us a note in class.

    Season 1 is Launching November 1st, 2023 Season one of Growing Up Millennial holds a really special place in our hearts: the direct-to-DVD movies made by the Olsen Twins in the '90s and early aughts. These films were a staple of our combined childhood (even with our seven-year age difference), and Adri and Helene are here to dissect, discuss, and reminisce about all of them. We go through the plot, the fashion, the feminism, and we even give a voice to the voiceless in podcasting, the straight white cis dude. Even though we want to say that Our Lips Are Sealed to surprise our audience with which movies we're going to cover throughout these eight episodes, we can safely say that you'll get a full list pretty soon. Some may even say that you'll see it in a New York Minute. What to expect from our first episode: We hope you have your virtual passports, pretend airline tickets, and spiritual cross-body backpacks at the ready, because we're headed to Paris! What could be more iconic (or should we say iconique?) than to begin our Dualstar journey with the 1999 classic, Passport to Paris? Nothing, that's what. I mean, this movie had FASHION (yes, the usage of all caps was a necessary choice) and a romance for the ages (I'm looking at you J-Man & Brigitte). We're also a newsletter.

    Mark your calendars with glitter gel pens! Growing Up Millennial is launching on November 1, 2023. We're a podcast about all things nostalgia from the 90s to the early aughts. Remember that feeling you got when you'd rush home after school, wearing those butterfly clips and/or chain wallets, to watch your favorite TV shows and movies? Do you remember that thrill you'd feel at talking all about your favorite shows on your transparent corded phone or Nokia phone (if you had a Razr flip phone, wow so you were rich RICH?! God Bless)? Well, we're all about reliving those moments, the good, the not-so-good, and everything in between on our new podcast, Growing Up Millennial. That's right, we're in full nostalgia mode. Go grab your scrunchies, put on your platform sneakers, and apply a healthy amount of that Dr. Pepper-flavored lip smacker. Our goal with this new show? To get you to feel that same level of triumph you'd feel when you didn't kill your Tamagotchi (or GigaPet) on the first day of its life. That and for you to feel like you're right there with us on a virtual blanket fort. Truly, what a time to be alive. If you listened to Accio Politics, the Harry Potter re-read podcast about politics in the wizarding world, you already know your hosts in this nostalgia-filled journey (and also, thanks for listening to our first show)! With Growing Up Millennial, Adri Wilson and Helene Karp are back to talk about our favorite millennial pieces of media and memories that make our millennial hearts full. We're also a newsletter.
