This week on Once Upon a Time in Music, the crew kicks things off with childhood cartoons. From attic dives for forgotten CDs to vinyl obsession, the conversation turns to how music collections become time capsules of who we were and where we come from.

The episode then dives into the soundtrack of growing up—songs that played at house parties, Saturday cleanups, car rides, and late-night “Midnight Love” radio hours. From cookout anthems and blues joints to R&B slow jams and pop classics, EL and Cheryl Poison trade memories, debate lyrics that hit different as adults, and break down how music shaped family gatherings, block parties, and culture itself. Add in listener emails, freaky song revelations, Kiss-Marry-Kill debates, and plenty of laughs, and you’ve got an episode that feels like sitting in the living room while the adults reminisce, the records spinning.
