Tech changes

Remember when you could just get in the car with a friend… drive around for hours… and talk about everything?

No phones. No distractions. Just real conversations.

In this episode of Remember When, we’re not just looking at how technology changed — we’re talking about what it changed in us.

From smartphones taking over everyday life…
to people FaceTiming in public…
to the slow disappearance of basic manners and real connection…things feel different now.

And then there’s AI.

We’ve reached a point where people are having real conversations with it…
forming connections… even arguing with it.

It’s funny. It’s weird. And at times… it’s a little unsettling.

We also look back at a simpler time — renting movies from the store, flipping on the TV without 1000 options, and just being present with the people around us.

This one is nostalgic, honest, and a little deeper than usual.

🎙️ Remember When… we didn’t need a screen to feel connected?

Remember the playgrounds we grew up on?

The giant metal slides that felt like they were a thousand degrees in the summer. The teeter-totters that could launch you into orbit. Monkey bars high enough to break a bone. Tire swings that spun you until you saw another dimension.

For kids growing up in the 80s and 90s, the playground wasn’t just recess — it was basically a daily test of survival.

In this episode of Remember When Radio, Adam sits down with Nicholas T. Smith from Wake Up With Giants TV to talk about some of the wildest, funniest, and most painful playground memories from childhood.

From terrifying playground equipment to the injuries that somehow never stopped us from going back for more, this episode is a hilarious trip back to a time when childhood fun came with a surprising amount of danger.

And of course, Adam shares the story of the most painful playground accident he ever witnessed — one that still haunts him to this day - and proved that dads really do know what they're talking about when they tell you not to do something.

If you love nostalgia, childhood stories, and remembering what life was like growing up before everything was padded and safety-approved, this episode is for you.

So grab some band-aids and a bottle of antiseptic… and let’s head back to the playgrounds of our youth.

Remember when you got your first job?

That feeling of pride… your first paycheck… the moment you realized you weren’t just a kid anymore.

In this episode of Remember When Radio, we’re diving into the world of first jobs — from allowance and mowing lawns to janitor gigs, bad bosses, and working at McDonald’s.

Adam is joined by his brother as they share hilarious, nostalgic, and sometimes unexpected stories about the jobs that shaped them — including chaotic coworkers, tough lessons, unforgettable moments, and the realization that work teaches you a lot more than just how to make money.

Because your first job isn’t really about the job…
It’s about who you were becoming.

If you’ve ever had a tough first job, a bad boss, a chaotic workplace , or a job you stayed in way too long — this one’s for you.

Have you ever felt like something about the world just… changed?

Like the world we grew up in isn’t quite the same one we’re living in now.

In this episode of Remember When Radio, Adam reflects on how everyday life seems different from the one many of us remember — even compared to just 5 or 10 years ago. From people not talking to each other anymore, to the rising cost of living, to the strange feeling that the future used to feel more hopeful than it does today.

Why does it feel harder for people to connect with each other? Why does it seem like everyone is more divided? And why do so many people feel like something about the world is just… off?

This episode explores the contrast between the world we grew up in and the world we’re living in today — and why nostalgia for the past might be about more than just childhood memories.

If you enjoy thought-provoking conversations about society, nostalgia, culture, and how life has changed over time, this episode will definitely make you think.

Sometimes the biggest changes in the world aren’t the ones you read about in the news — they’re the ones you simply feel.

It’s been six years since COVID turned the world upside down. For a while there, it felt like common sense disappeared overnight. Grocery stores had traffic arrows, people were wiping down bananas, and toilet paper suddenly became the most valuable commodity in the world.

In this episode of Remember When Radio, we take a trip back to those strange early days of March 2020 — from the great toilet paper shortage, to masks, to lockdowns, and all the bizarre rules that seemed to appear overnight.

But beyond the absurdity, there’s also a bigger reflection: those years divided people in ways many of us had never experienced before. Friendships strained or fell apart, families fell out, and society lost so much of the connection that once held us together.

Maybe it’s time to rebuild some of that.

Because if we learned anything from 2020… it’s that we’re better off when we have each other.

Before taking a short break, I wanted to pause and say thank you.

Season 1 of Remember When Radio started as a simple idea — sharing stories, memories, and moments that shaped us — and it’s grown into something far more meaningful because of you.

Whether you listened to one episode or all of them, whether you shared it, messaged me, or just listened quietly on a walk or drive — I truly appreciate you.

If you’re looking for something to tide you over during the break, my book Remember When is available on Amazon.
