Obsessed

Can’t tell you how much I love this podcast! Found out about it through Instagram last month (their insta is the ultimate walk down memory lane) and haven’t stopped binging the episodes since! It inspired me to get my dolls out of storage & send them off to the doll hospital to get spruced up. Highly recommend especially if you were a kid in the 90s!
