Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!!!
I was born in 1981, so clearly too young to be around for all of this stuff actively, but I absolutely love hearing about NYC in the 80s through Meg and Jessica’s POV. While I understand how dangerous it could be, man they make me wish I had been there. And been friends with them! Every time I tune in, it feels like I'm picking up my house phone (we did still have those when I was growing up) and getting to chat with the cool girls. Also can't wait to dig into all the references they make to tv and movies and books. Keep the episodes coming!!!
Always interesting then alternately HIL-arious!!
I can hardly express the warm affection I have for this podcast…first off I grew up in the 80’s and came to NYC in the latter part of the decade and LOVE all NYC trivia—throw in a well researched crime story—I am so sold!…not to mention, I feel like- for an hour each week -I get to hang out with the best of MY high school friends… it’s podcast comfort food for my insecure tortured high school self.
Fun and Informative
Meg and Jessica are such great storytellers, I could listen to them all day. I wish they were my friends!
