Hosted by Aussie sisters Sabrina and Genevieve, Liminal Queens is a nostalgic, irreverent podcast exploring the weird cultural moments that shaped the millennial generation. Each episode, we revisit the pop culture relics, odd TV shows, fleeting obsessions, and low-key childhood traumas that still live rent-free in our brains — from alien documentaries and cursed animations, to Tamagotchis and troll dolls One of us is a psychologist. One of us is not. Together, we apply a little analysis and a lot of chaotic energy to unpack why this stuff stuck with us — and what it reveals about growing up in the strange liminal space of the late 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. If you’ve ever thought, “Wait… does anyone else remember this?” — the answer is yes. And we’re talking about it.

    Millenial Fears: Part 1 - Environmental Disasters

    You better watch out, there’s quicksand about! In Part 1 of this series on Millennial Fears (yes, there are so many, we had to break them up into parts!), we’re deep diving into the plethora of natural hazards which seemed to be a real and present danger during our childhood – we’re talking volcanoes, tornados, acid rain, and the infamous quicksand! How much truth was there to the reality of these fears, and why have they stuck around with us to this day?

    Tamagotchi: The Egg That Took Over Our Lives

    Remember when you were ten and suddenly responsible for keeping a tiny pixelated creature alive?This week, we’re revisiting the Tamagotchi craze — that weirdly intense moment when every kid became a round-the-clock carer for a digital pet. We unpack how this pocket-sized obsession swept the playgrounds, spawned knock-offs, got banned from classrooms, and somehow taught us about responsibility, guilt, and grief.

    Liminal Lite - Edition 1

    Liminal Lite is our bite-sized bonus series — quick reflections under 10 minutes, recorded when the world throws a pop culture curveball that sends us spiralling back into childhood memories. These are little brain dumps, triggered when today's trends echo something oddly familiar from the '80s, '90s or early 2000s. In each Liminal Lite, we explore the cyclical nature of culture — how things return, reshape, and remind us who we were. This edition is about YungBlud and how he is confusing Sab's algorithm.  CreditsCreated, hosted, written, produced and edited by Sabrina Hilton & Genevieve Teasdale.Artwork by Sabrina HiltonThis podcast includes music and sound effects that are licensed for use through Epidemic SoundTheme and transition music:  Reaching Out by Dovetailhttps://www.epidemicsound.com/music/tracks/1a2fa0a8-c84f-3aa7-8092-6d3f6048e881/

    Shareware: Floppy Disks & Free(ish) Games

    Before the App Store, before Steam, and long before anyone had heard of “indie devs,” there was shareware — a scrappy, trust-based model that had kids loading mysterious floppy disks into family computers and hoping for the best. In this episode, we boot up a deep dive into the weird, wonderful world of shareware gaming. From Commander Keen to Duke Nukem, we explore how these games spread through schoolyards and office cubicles, passed from person to person like digital contraband. We look at what made them so unique, and how they reflected a moment in time when technology felt community based, magical and mysterious.

  5. Alien Panic: The Fear & The Fascination

    Alien Panic: The Fear & The Fascination

    In this first episode of Liminal Queens, we launch straight into one of the most formative and unshakable phenomena of millennial childhood: alien panic. Why were we — a whole generation of kids — so afraid of being abducted by aliens? Why did we lie awake at night convinced there were UFOs outside our windows? And how did that specific, bug-eyed alien face end up burned into our collective memory? We unpack the imagery, the abduction narratives, and the eerie media landscape of the 80s and 90s. We also explore the psychological roots of this fear, the cultural anxiety behind it, and why so many of us still remember these stories in unnerving detail. Whether you were terrified of Whitley Strieber’s Communion, obsessed with alien documentaries, or just vaguely haunted by grainy reenactments on free-to-air TV… this one’s for you.
