So much fun!
I discovered this podcast when I recently rediscovered my love of the Backstreet Boys…and these two things - BSB and this podcast now give me so much joy! Listening to Kelsey and Mary feels like chatting with two old friends that I’ve known since middle school. They are both so fun, silly, and hilarious! As millennials, we really were so lucky to grow up in the era of swoon-worthy boy bands, the glory days of Disney Channel, MTV, TGIF, and brooding teen dramas, defining pop culture moments and some of THE best music. What a time to be young! This podcast just feels so comforting - warm, fuzzy, and SO much FUN!
A+ pod, Y2K nostalgia at its best!
Every episode is like being swaddled and comforted in my millennial childhood/teenage faves. I esp like all the music clips integrated and being delulu pretending Kelsey & Mary are my 2 besties gabbing it up! (Maybe we plan a "Popped" meet up at Lovers and Friends? A NECESSARY research/biz expense write off, ha!) Thank you for doing the Lord's work, brava ladies!
My new comfort podcast!
I grew up during the y2k era and I’m a self proclaimed nostalgia expert. I find myself frequently saying the same thing at the same time as them, it feels like I’m reliving that ICONIC time with good friends! Thank you ladies for the amazing work, you both are hilarious and your research skills are on point! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
