Why Did I Keep This?

We decorate our walls with art and posters. As we grow, our taste evolves. So what do we do with our old art? Where's the line between souvenier, poster and wall hanging? Join special guest and master composer Genevieve Vincent as she shares with Jacki, Courtney and Lana why she kept all those posters, while the hosts frame their discussion of art with guilt and aesthetic.

There are many things to say about books. Each one is their own world, and many together create the cool collections we see in Zoom panel backgrounds, and even more together form magical libraries we take refuge in. Join Jacki, Courtney and Lana as they discuss books, why they kept some, and how they read and think about them now.

Toys are so sentimental. As adults, why do we keep things we had as children? Join Courtney, Lana and Jacki as they talk about the toys they kept and why. Hint: think 90s (like every other episode).

When our name is attached to something, we struggle to let it go. From souvenir shop stickers to rings that carry our initials to t-shirts given to us for Valentine’s Day in 1995 by the grandparents who gave us our family names, we keep things around with our personal labels. Hosts Jacki, Lana and Courtney get inspired by the things special guest Katie Michels has kept over the years.
