Inspired By the 90s

Kristin Marie & Cartoon Connect

Inspired By the 90s is the podcast for millennials who grew up on dial-up internet, Destiny’s Child, and “be home before the street lights come on” — and are now navigating adulthood, relationships, healing, and rediscovering who they really are. Hosted by Kristin Marie and Brandon Reed (Cartoon Connect), this show dives into the music, moments, and memories that shaped us — and the real-life lessons we’re unpacking now. From childhood dreams and cultural shifts to trauma responses disguised as personality traits, nothing is off limits.

    Kids Today Would Never Survive the 90s Pt. 1

    If you grew up in the 90s, you already know… things were DIFFERENT. 😅 In Part 1 of this episode, we’re talking about the unsupervised chaos that was growing up in the 90s — from being outside all day with no phones, to riding bikes across neighborhoods, to answering house phones we probably shouldn’t have answered. We’re also diving into:  Things 90s kids got away with that kids today never could  The lack of supervision we somehow survived  "Be home before the street lights come on" era  No GPS, no cell phones, no way to contact your parents  Why kids today are growing up in a completely different world Growing up in the 90s meant independence, imagination, and sometimes… questionable parenting decisions 😅 but it also shaped who we are today. Were we tougher… or just slightly traumatized but still thriving? Let’s talk about it. If you’re a 90s kid, this episode is going to bring back some memories. Inspired by the 90s is a podcast about growing up in the 90s, navigating life now, and everything in between.
