We Don't Wanna Grow Up is a nostalgic podcast about pop culture, toys and fond memories of the 80s, 90s and 00s. We want to take you back to that feeling of strolling down the aisles at Toys R Us, flipping through the J.C. Penney catalog so you can ear-mark everything you want for Christmas, cozying up in front of the television on a Saturday morning with a big bowl of cereal, or waiting hours for a certain song to play on the radio so you can hit record on your tape player and have the song forever. We want to recapture the feeling of the moment your dELiA*s catalog arrived in the mail, looking at the album art in your new CD and sitting on your inflatable furniture. Remembering all of this has been a comfort and has helped us get through the stress and anxiety that has come along with everything happening in the world lately, and we hope it helps you a little bit, too.

    Romy and Michelle!!!
    OMG!!! I’m so excited for Anything Romy and Michelle!! It’s really like the best cult classic everrrrrr. I’ve never heard of this pod before, and I really enjoy pods that fill and share on YouTube, and that really would make it a 5 star for me. However, this is the first and only episode I’ve heard yet, and I’m not about to be lame any give 4 stars on just that one thing that’s missing, for me. “Do you have some type of business ladies lunch special?” Hahaha. It’s genius. I hope to deep dive into this pod and learn more, but simply the fact they review this movie is enough for me to give these two 5 stars. Way to go!! Can’t wait for the she-quel ✨✨✨

    Great conversations reminiscing about childhood in the 80s and 90s
    This couple bring all the memories back from being a kid in the 80s and 90s. Entertaining and comedic convos about movies/tv shows, music, toys, games, books and trivia of the time. If you were a kid during that time you will most definitely relate to their content.

    A Review of "We Don't Wanna Grow Up"
    I had found certain parts of what I had believed to had been this "We Don't Wanna Grow Up" to had been vulgar (or profane), unnecessary, and detrimental (especially certain parts of it I had found to had been interesting, informative, and enjoyable).
  • ajlistening
    Yay
    Congrats on the network deal! So excited for more episodes! I love the layout of the show with the show and tell at the front. It’s always a nice surprise because as you are going through the patreon and cozy club info it feels like the close of a show. Then, when I remember there is still the whole episode to go it’s such a treat!

    Love this podcast!
    I came across the facebook page first and then decided to listen to the podcast. I’m now a Patreon member and its become one of my favorites (a nice break from the true crime). The hosts remind me of my husband and I. Can’t wait to listen to all the episodes, and I look forward to more of the Delia catalogues!
  • Jack-justice
    Great listen
    Lots of content for lovers of pop culture from the 80’s, 90’s, and early aughts. Pete and Stacy are super entertaining, and even if I’m unfamiliar with the topic they’re discussing I’m having loads of fun.

    ✨ nostalgia at its finest ✨
    {Born in ‘79 here} …. so I was scrolling on Facebook tonight and found your FB page which then led me to the podcast. Listening to the Alanis episode. Also, I just saw her in Houston for her Triple Moon Tour and it was the best concert I’ve ever seen! Anyway, I’m happy to have found this podcast. I’ll be listening to more episodes. Love it!

    So much amazing content and nostalgia!
    I just stumbled upon this podcast and am so glad I did. I can’t stop listening (luckily I have a few years of episodes to catch up on). Stacy and I are the same age and have so many of the same favorites! I swear we would have swapped friendship bracelets and been bffs if we knew each other back then,lol. If you are a 80’s kid do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast so you can remember all the greatness from the best decade ever!

    A heartwarming and entertaining experience!

    Core Memories Unlocked Every Episode!
    Love Stacy and Pete! The content and subjects they cover is exactly what I needed to bring back all the memories and feels from childhood and teen years. Their banter is great too! Don’t forget to stay until the end of the episode for the outtakes because I laugh out loud every time! This is definitely one podcast I look for every week or whenever I want to have all the cozy feels.
  • Samoneestelle

  • Destiny A. Rodriguez
    Hosts Are Great!
    Stacy and Pete (or is it Pete and Stacy???) deliver charming podcast episodes touching on many of the things they loved growing up from the 80's and 90's. Movies, TV shows, toys and much more is covered in their shows and it's fun to listen to! Even the outtakes tacked on at the end of the episodes make me chuckle. Thanks, Pete and Stacy! Or...thanks, Stacy and Pete!
  • i mean, worthless
    My comfort podcast!
    I found this on IG and started following a few months ago. I put We Don’t Wanna Grow Up on anytime I’m getting ready, running errands, or cleaning the house. It brings back so many memories and it’s like hanging with friends. I can tell Stacy and Pete put so much work into this and it definitely shows! Keep it up, guys!

    Love this podcast because it brings me so much nostalgia. I love everything about the 80s and 90s so this is perfect for me. I enjoy listening to these two they’re always fun to listen and it’s interesting to learn new things about a topic.

    New Listener
    I enjoy listening to their banter and I’m surprisingly learning new trivia about some of my favorite childhood movies like ET & Jurassic Park. Looking forward to listening to more episodes! Nostalgia is like a warm blanket.

    A ride down memory lane!!
    I just recently discovered this podcast and I am now obsessed! I cannot stop listening. I have started from the beginning and it’s an absolutely nostalgic ride down memory lane in such a good way. Is it weird that I talk back to Stacy and Pete while listening as if we are hanging out talking about fun things from our childhood? Or, is it even weirder that I feel like we are all best friends? That’s exactly how you will feel when listening to this couple talking about their fave movies, tv shows or toys from “back in the day.” Plus, they have an awesome social media page where you can see pictures from followers in their 80s or 90s outfits as well has clips from commercials that you forgot all about. Oh, and the clips from magazines and the JCPenneys catalog had to be the best. Thank you Stacy and Pete for giving us this happy, feel good podcast and social media pages!!

  • Brooklyndoll
    Such good nostalgia
    Just found this podcast and thought I would listen to a few episodes about movies or shows I liked in the 90s. I’m now obsessed and listening to every episode from the beginning. My favorites are the diary entries and notes from Stacy’s friends. The show is like a warm hug, love it.
  • Year of the Bloom
    So nostalgic and comforting!
    I’ve been really enjoying listening to the We Don’t Wanna Grow Up Podcast. I’ve been a follower on social media for a bit but started listening in the summer and it brings me so much joy! I really like all the topics they cover and I love the Dear Diary episodes haha! If you are someone who loves the 80s and 90s I highly recommend this podcast! Also Pete’s voice is very soothing- like a radio host voice!
  • BRstar88

    Just Discovered
    As a old man in his 40’s now I just can’t get enough of nostalgia. Man I wish we could go back to the 90’s! I’m only on your 2nd episode so far but I’m so glad I found this podcast. Keep up the work & don’t disappear!

    Nostalgic, Cozy Corner of the Podcast World
    I have been listening to this podcast for almost 2 years, and it’s impossible to listen to an episode and not laugh out loud with Pete and Stacy as they unlock my childhood and teenage memories over and over and over again. Stacy and I both hail from the Class of ‘98, and I am pretty convinced we would’ve been good friends based on all the shows and movies and music we both love from the 90s (Felicity, Titanic, and DMB for a start). I can’t wait to hear Pete’s thoughts as he continues through the seasons of Dawson’s Creek, and I think it’ll be fun to hear how Stacy handles The Terminator show that Pete will finally get to do. These two are the REAL DEAL — kind humans who give all of us a space to remember all the things of our youth. This is the podcast that gives me a welcome escape from the crazy and stress of day-to-day life. A special thank you to Stacy for being awesome in DMs in Instagram; it’s so fun to connect on there. I am grateful you for all you do, Stacy and Pete! @ally_hart

    Happy Vibes
    Seriously this podcast makes my heart smile. I listen with my son while I drive him around to all of his activities. He loves listening and learning about cool things from the 1900s (ouch kiddo). Stacy and Pete continuously open the memory vault and I instantly smile. Thanks for the memories and more importantly helping to acknowledge how far I’ve come.

    Nothing brings a smile more to my face than going back in time and reliving the books, movies, songs, and toys from my youth. Thanks for sharing your notes and diary entries, it’s stuff that I knew all too well.

    10/10 recommend!!
    I recently discovered this podcast & I love it!! Each episode is a great trip down memory lane and Stacy & Pete are awesome - listening to each episode feels like reminiscing with friends. I also just joined the Facebook group and everyone there is super friendly and welcoming. I’m a huge fan! Now I want to crimp my hair, rock a side pony & hang out with you guys in real life!
  • Nertna
    AMAZING
    Hands down my favorite podcast. This is the slice of “happy” that we all need right now to get a break from all of the other stuff. Thank you both for giving us this outlet to get away for a few :)

    Warm Fuzzies
    This podcast is full of all of the nostalgia feels from the 80s, 90s, and early 00s. I love the trips down memory lane, but the real gold is in the banter and commentary from Stacy and Pete. They are charming and wonderful and they make you feel like you’ve known them your whole life! It’s also a very thoughtful podcast with a structure and focus. It’s not just two people rambling on in a room. It’s edited and produced with excellent quality!

    This Podcast Reminds Me Of The Best Things In Life.
    This is hands down my favorite Podcast. I cannot start my day without listening and reliving all my childhood memories, it makes for the best day. Listening to Pete and Stacy makes me feel like I'm talking to two best friends. So many memories and lots of laughs. I'm a very nostalgic person, especially when it comes to the 80s and 90s so I can honestly say this podcast has my heart. Thank you Pete and Stacy, for always adding sunshine to my day.
  • Boobula Moo
    Just so much nostalgia!
    Love the hosts and their interactions. It’s hard to find an episode that doesn’t give me those cozy warm nostalgia vibes.

    A Walk Down Memory Lane
    I work in healthcare and it was a real struggle going to work every day during the pandemic. Listening to this podcast made me forget all the craziness in the world for a little bit and remember things from my childhood that I completely forgot about..and for that I’m so thankful. I was born in ‘83 and I’m still kinda stuck in the 80’s/90’s and this podcast is the epitome of nostalgia. Stacy and Pete are the most adorable and kind hosts. I could probably listen to them talk for hours. I feel like everything that they love..I also love. Whether they’re talking about shows, toys, movies, or music.. they always put a smile on my face. I especially love when they have a “top 5” or should I say “top 5 and 5 HM’s” episodes! One of their newer episodes on Madonna songs gave me all the feels and of course I had to listen to Madonna for days to come. They have a big presence on Social Media and are always interacting with their listeners. Can’t wait to see what Stacy and Pete have in store for us in the future!

    Top That
    In these dark times, it’s like your mom picked you up early from school and took you to McDonald’s. The good McDonald’s of 1985 with full grimace and hamburglar playground. It’s like your mom bought you a new hypercolor and skidz for the first day of school. It’s like a sleepover with your best friends playing the girl talk board game and listening to NKOTB. Thanks for the time travel…the warm and fuzzies are priceless.
  • mistyleann
    “Life moves pretty fast” but this podcast helps us remember!
    Simply put, I can’t get enough of the great episodes Stacy and Pete create to give us all the nostalgic feels. If you want your cozy childhood gifted back to you, this is your podcast.
  • ElectricPandaBoogaloo
    We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!
    What a rad podcast. If you’re feeling gnarly and your life is like totally grody, then listen to this dope ‘cast. The hosts are phat and the subjects are off the chain.

    Good Nostalgia, Likable Hosts
    Stacy and Pete are the best. Love to hear them talk 80s and 90s stuff. They make me laugh and make me happy to listen. A very cute couple and they do a good job making their episodes entertaining. Love to see new episodes come out and feels good to have something fun and care-free to listen to these days! Stacy and Pete remind me of my cousins and friends I used to watch tv with as a kid and listening in to the podcasts brings me back to a better time, making me feel like I don’t wanna grow up!

    So glad I found them!!
    It’s not always easy being a product of the 80s and adjusting to the current times. Stacy and Pete’s podcast and Instagram account have brought me back to nostalgic times and memories. It’s been a blast connecting me back to a community of people and pop culture from my generation! Give them a follow. You won’t regret it!

  • smithsgirrl
    Love but a little confused
    Fun podcast and really enjoy the trivia and playing along. I only have one complaint. The episodes of The Challenge episodes are completely out of place and make no sense for this podcast in my opinion. I just skip them!
  • GenericOfficial
    Excellent podcast in the nostalgia era
    Great episodes covering everything from pop culture, movies, etc to personal experiences in the greatest decade- the 1980s. The hosts have a great rapport and synergy that makes the topics flow easily and enhances the experience. I definitely recommend you take a listen.
