The Way We Used to Save Our Memories

Before smartphones and cloud storage, saving our memories took a little more effort.

We had film cameras with limited shots, Kodak FunSavers, bulky camcorders, handwritten journals and diaries, and photo albums we’d actually sit down and look through with family and friends.

In this episode of Remember When Radio, we’re looking back at the ways we used to preserve our lives — and wondering whether having thousands of photos and videos at our fingertips has actually made our memories any easier to hold onto.

There are certain things that can instantly take you back to summer as a kid.The smell of a campfire. The taste of a roasted marshmallow. The sound of the ice cream man's unforgettable siren. Even that familiar scent of your favourite summer place that you can't quite put your finger on. In this episode of Remember When Radio, we're talking about the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of summer — and why some of the smallest, most ordinary moments somehow became the memories we'd cherish forever. #nostalgia #childhoodmemories #summermemories #rememberwhen #rememberwhenradio

Remember when summer felt like it lasted forever?

Water fights, Slip ’N Slides, backyard campouts, days at the lake, chasing down the ice cream man, failed lemonade stands, and hanging out with the neighbourhood kids doing absolutely nothing.

In this episode, we’re looking back at the summer staples that defined childhood — the things we waited all year for, and the memories that made summer feel like it would never end.

Remember when going to the arcade felt like the biggest event of the week? Before online gaming, downloadable updates, and battle passes, there were quarters, high scores, rented cartridges, and endless debates over which console was the best.

In this episode of Remember When Radio, we look back at the evolution of video games—from classic arcades and pinball machines to Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation, Xbox, and beyond. We share the games that shaped our childhoods, unforgettable gaming memories, and how the world of gaming has changed over the decades.

Whether you grew up in the 80s, 90s, or early 2000s, this episode is a nostalgic trip through one of the greatest eras of entertainment.

🎮 What's your favourite video game of all time?

Think back to your very first crush.

The butterflies, the daydreams, the awkward moments, and the people you never quite forgot.

In this episode of Remember When Radio, we look back at childhood crushes—from the girl or boy next door, your friend's sister or brother, to classmates you were too nervous to talk to, the people who secretly liked you (and you had absolutely no clue), and the opportunities you completely missed because, let's face it... we were all a little clueless.

We also talk about how those early crushes shaped us, why some of those memories never really disappear, and share one of the funniest celebrity crush stories you'll ever hear...and quite possibly understand a little too well.

Whether your first crush ended in heartbreak, embarrassment, or never even knew you existed, chances are you'll see a little of yourself in this episode.

Thanks for listening to Remember When Radio—where we revisit the moments, memories, and milestones that made growing up unforgettable.
