When They Popped - A Y2K Pop Culture Podcast

In this episode, Mary and Kelsey are joined by Candice DelPercio, author of My Mom Is  A Millennial, a children’s book that is basically a love letter to everything that defined our childhoods in the 90s and early 2000s. They discuss the all-importance of picking an AIM screenname, the best bedroom color combination aesthetics, and how the concept of a “computer room” seems laughable today. 

This book is the perfect gift for the millennials and young kids in your life! Get your paperback copy on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GWRWL6NR and the hardcover at https://whitecloudkids.com/. (Take it from us, it’s worth getting the hardcover - illustrator Stefanie Geyer’s gorgeous book art is truly a time capsule experience!)
