    The Strange Comfort of Old Memories (w/ Shawna Andrews)

    In episode 5 of Day After Day, I’m joined by Shauna Andrews, the creator behind My Teenage Throwback, a page bringing 2000s and early 2010s home videos back to life. We talk about what it meant to document life before everything was content, the difference between capturing moments vs. performing them, and why these old clips are resonating so deeply today. From unseen footage and fan reactions to prom nights, camcorders, and the power of the Y2K aesthetic, this conversation dives into nostalgia, memory, and the strange feeling of missing a time you may not have even experienced.
