Cabbage Patch Dolls, Walkie Talkies & Midlife Reality I Aussie Nostalgia Podcast

This week on The Midlifers Podcast, we’re asking a question many parents face: should teenagers take a gap year after high school? We share our own experiences, whether we’d recommend it to our kids, and how our opinions have changed over the years.

Then is time for our ‘Midlifer Moment’, where we tackle one unavoidable fact of life…getting older. Are we officially middle aged? Absolutely. Are we ready to admit it? Not so fast there buddy. From bursitis to groaning from simple movements, aging is happening, so let’s get real and have a laugh about it along the way.

Next up is ‘Do you Remember?,’ where we’re taking a nostalgic trip back to the toys that made our childhood. From Cabbage Patch Dolls and McDonald’s Happy Meal toys to walkie talkies,green army men and other classic 80’s and 90’s toys, we’re reliving the gifts we loved, begged our parents for, and probably wish we’d kept.

Plus another doozy of a revelation from Fonz that you just gotta hear.
