She's Hot - Paris Hilton
In today’s episode, Riley and Sid dive into a favorite topics of the 2000s: Paris Hilton.

Customer Reviews
An entertaining podcast from two sisters reminiscing over their childhood.
“Ruining Our Childhood” is a fun look back at pop culture of the 90s and 2000s through the eyes of two sisters. Riley and Cassidy are our hosts and it’s clear that these two sisters share a close bond as their chemistry and humor reminiscing over their childhood bleeds through discussions of their favorite childhood shows, artists and pop culture events. Each episode is vastly different than the last and it’s great how the sisters take turns on the topic of their weekly episode. Overall, it’s a fun listen and a podcast I’d recommend for anyone who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s.
