    End of the Tape

    Sinéad and Mel are closing out their teenage mixtape by diving back into more moments that shaped us. We’ve looked at first jobs, first loves, first periods and the first version of the internet. We’ve revisited the pressures that came with the new millennium, the sexual politics and body issues we’ve had to unlearn, and taken a tender look at the beautiful chaos of teenage life that made us who we are. In this final episode, we’re taking a last look through our time capsule; our deeply uncool bedrooms, petty dramas and the unhinged slang we’d like to see make a comeback. We’re asking what our teenage selves would say if they could see us now, and most importantly: what are you taking from your teen self into adult life? This is If Destroyed Still True: the podcast where millennial best friends Sinéad Kennedy Sklar and Melissa Murdock rewind the mixtape of their teenage years and press play on the moments that shaped who they are today. We ask ourselves: how does this show up in our lives now? And if you could talk to your teenage self - what would you tell her?  Hit follow, share your own teen time capsule with us @IDSTpod, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and listen to the end of the tape.

    Content note: this episode mentions sexual harassment in the workplace. Sinéad and Mel are pulling on their oversized uniforms and heading back to their teenage workplaces, where minimum-wage shifts taught us more than we realised. From kitchen drama to retail chaos, these first jobs were both funny and unexpectedly formative.  Our first jobs were our crash course in customer service, confidence, and pretending to look busy. And while they gave us our first taste of independence, they also revealed the tougher side of work: harsh managers, inappropriate encounters, and boundaries we didn’t yet know how to set.  In this episode we’re asking how our teenage shifts shaped the adults we became. What did we learn about work ethic, confidence, and self-worth? What habits did we carry forward into our careers, and which ones are we still trying to unlearn? And can we learn something about the working world from those that entered it after us?  This is If Destroyed Still True: the podcast where millennial best friends Sinéad Kennedy Sklar and Melissa Murdock rewind the mixtape of their teenage years and press play on the moments that shaped who they are today. We ask ourselves: how does this show up in our lives now? And if you could talk to your teenage self, what would you tell her?  Hit follow, share your own teen job war stories with us @IDSTpod, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and remember the exact moment you realised the customer is not always right.  If Destroyed Still True is a Morley Radio and The Imposters Club production.

    The Information Superhighway

    Content note: this episode contains discussions of diets, disordered eating and body image. Sinéad and Mel are firing up the family desktop, and taking a wander round the joy and chaos that was the early 2000s internet.. It’s time to revisit the glory days of Youtube, listen to the sweet sounds of a dial-up modem, and re-code our Myspace page. From logging in and out of MSN to get your crush’s attention to losing hours on your favourite band’s website, the internet was our magical playground. It was a weird and wonderful world of information, and our first taste of building an identity online, one HTML prompt at a time. But the digital wild west had its shadows too: pro-ana sites posing as “inspo”, unmoderated chatrooms that left us exposed to strangers who should never have had access to us. This new world did not come with a map – luckily for us, it was limited to an hour after we’d done our homework. This episode, we’re wondering how being the first generation to grow up online shaped our identities, our habits, and the way we connect today. What did we gain from that wide-eyed exploration, and what did we lose along the way? This is If Destroyed Still True: the podcast where millennial best friends Sinéad Kennedy Sklar and Melissa Murdock rewind the mixtape of their teenage years and press play on the moments that shaped who they are today. We ask ourselves: how does this show up in our lives now? And if you could talk to your teenage self: what would you tell her? Hit follow, share your own teen chaos memories with us @IDSTpod, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and wonder what happened to your Neopet.

    The Special K Diet

    Content note: this episode contains discussions of diets, disordered eating and body image.  Sinéad and Mel are cracking open a can of Diet Coke and diving headfirst into the 2000s diet industrial complex. It’s time to revisit the era of size zero, Heat magazine’s ‘circle of shame’, and the relentless pursuit of thinness.  From ‘concerned’ paparazzi shots of Nicole Richie and the Olsen twins to the time they tried to convince us that Bridget Jones was fat, the 2000s sold us a single aspiration: be small. We’re talking weird maple syrup concoctions, ‘fridge pickers wear bigger knickers’ magnets, and glossy magazines promising you could drop a dress size by the weekend. Behind every aspirational celeb photo was a punishing routine and a generation of millennial women quietly absorbing it all. While the buzzwords have changed from thinness to wellness, the pressure remains today. The bodies we see may be curvier, the marketing subtler, but the message still hums beneath it all: control, shrink, filter, perfect. This episode, we’re asking: how did the 2000s obsession with thinness shape our bodies, our appetites, and our sense of self? And can we ever stop mentally counting calories? This is If Destroyed Still True: the podcast where millennial best friends Sinéad Kennedy Sklar and Melissa Murdock rewind the mixtape of their teenage years and press play on the moments that shaped who they are today. We ask ourselves: how does this show up in our lives now? And if you could talk to your teenage self: what would you tell her? Hit follow, share your own teen chaos memories with us @IDSTpod, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and be a little kinder to yourself.

    Sexting Pioneers

    Content note: this episode contains adult themes and discussions of sex Sinéad and Mel are charging up their Nokia 3310s and delving back into those early sexting attempts: it’s finally time to talk about the FIRST time. From the Louise Rennison snogging scale (IYKYK), to house parties fuelled by WKD Blue and getting off with each other in the kitchen, teenagers in the 2000s were sex-obsessed and information-starved.  Forget school sex ed: late night TV, poring over Heat magazine for hints and wild rumours kept us going. Add in impossibly glossy sex scenes in rom-coms, we were left with wildly unrealistic ideas about what intimacy should look like. Fast-forward to adulthood, and millennial women know how to fake enthusiasm but not how to ask for what we actually WANT in the bedroom. This episode we’re looking back at those early experiences of ‘everything but’, the sexual politics of being a teenager and asking how all that teenage chaos shaped our relationship with sex, pleasure and intimacy today. This is If Destroyed Still True: the podcast where millennial best friends Sinéad Kennedy Sklar and Melissa Murdock rewind the mixtape of their teenage years and press play on the moments that shaped who they are today. We ask ourselves: how does this show up in our lives now? And if you could talk to your teenage self: what would you tell her? Hit follow, share your own teen chaos memories with us @IDSTpod, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and remember your first time.

    Back 2 School

    It’s September, and Sinéad and Mel are zipping up their new backpacks and heading straight back into that 2000s back-to-school feeling. From the scent of fresh homework diaries to the big reveal of pencil cases and the belief that this would be the year of total reinvention, teenage Septembers were a mix of anxiety, excitement and chaos. Between frantic catch-ups on who kissed who, surprise maths tests, and the politics of the lunch table, the school year felt like an entire new social season. And even now, the shift from summer to autumn takes us right back to those corridors. But have we really changed? These days it’s less about school uniforms and box hair dye, and more about office wear and covering greys. We’ve swapped essays and MSN gossip for Slack notifications and trying to pin down a dinner date with your bestie sometime before Christmas. Turns out, once you’ve had that back-to-school feeling, it never really leaves. This is If Destroyed Still True: the podcast where millennial best friends Sinéad Kennedy Sklar and Melissa Murdock rewind the mixtape of their teenage years and press play on the moments that shaped who they are today. We ask ourselves: how does this show up in our lives now? And if you could talk to your teenage self: what would you tell her? Hit follow, share your own teen chaos memories with us @IDSTpod, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and remember your back to school essentials.

    Now That's What I Call Music!

    Sinéad and Mel are dusting off their discmans for this one and going back to the heady days of afternoons in HMV, CD car changers and Gonzo after school (thanks for everything, Zane Lowe). The 2000s were a wild ride of emo and RnB with a side of musical theatre, a time where burning CDs was an act of love and CD wallets were our most prized possessions (RIP Mel’s collection, lost forever). From poring over lyrics and artwork to staring out of the rainy bus window and pretending we were in music videos, music is EVERYTHING to teenagers. We’re looking back to how music helped us understand new experiences, feel new feelings and try on new identities. And how, decades later, Sinéad’s teen music taste is still the key to her mental health. Mum, Dad – it’s not a phase! This is If Destroyed Still True: the podcast where millennial best friends Sinéad Kennedy Sklar and Melissa Murdock rewind the mixtape of their teenage years and press play on the moments that shaped who they are today. We ask ourselves: how does this show up in our lives now? And if you could talk to your teenage self: what would you tell her Hit follow, share your own teen chaos memories with us @IDSTpod, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and remember your fave mixtape.

    She’s gonna blow!

    Content note: In this episode we talk about some sensitive topics, including pregnancy and miscarriage. We refer to women, girls  and female reproductive systems a lot, as we’re talking about menstrual cycles, but we don’t believe that’s the defining characteristic of womanhood. Protect the dolls! Sinéad and Mel are heading straight for the downstairs department: that’s right, we’re talking first periods, school sex ed, and all the weird/genius names we had for our “bits” in the early 2000s. Tampons were flying, and so were the rumours about Toxic Shock Syndrome. From that one chaotic day the entire school learned about reproductive systems, to being handed the pill without much conversation, we’re unpacking how our understanding of our bodies was shaped early on. And how, after nearly two decades on hormonal contraception, we’re feeling a bit disconnected from our bodies. This is If Destroyed Still True: the podcast where millennial best friends Sinéad Kennedy Sklar and Melissa Murdock rewind the mixtape of their teenage years and press play on the moments that shaped who they are today. We ask ourselves: how does this show up in our lives now? And if you could talk to your teenage self: what would you tell her? Hit follow, share your own teen clique chaos with us @IDSTpod, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and remember exactly where you sat at lunchtime.
