Silent Ball, Kiss Chasey & Healthy Harold: Ultimate Aussie School Nostalgia Ft Josh Parto

This week on The Midlifers Podcast, we’re joined by special guest co-host Josh Parto-— the social media creator behind the hilarious teacher, school and family skits taking over TikTok and Instagram.

Josh shares how his viral content started, what it’s like being recognised as “the TikTok guy”, and why school nostalgia resonates across generations.

Then we get into our first segment, ‘Don’t be a D!ck - at School.’ There was always that one kid who reminded the teacher about homework, or those terrible teachers who were just jerks. Why??!!

Next we deep dive Aussie school nostalgia with, ‘Do You Remember - these School Yard Shenanigans?’ From Silent Ball, tunnel ball and Book Club… to teacher lanyards, lunch orders & Healthy Harold.

If you grew up in Australia during the 80s, 90s or early 2000s, this episode will unlock memories you completely forgot existed.

• Australian school nostalgia
