Talk To The Hand Podcast

Welcome back to the 90s. Whether you lived through them or not, the 90s are still here. The decade's fingerprints are all over our streaming services, current trends, political climate, pop culture - you name it. We are Eric and Sarah, nostalgic millennials, quintessential 90s kids - and every Wednesday we dive into a different 90s topic ranging from Uncle Jesse to nu metal to Lisa Frank Trapper Keepers. Either individually, together, or with a guest or two, each episode covers a topic you are bound to remember about the glitteriest and grungiest decade in modern history. Until we meet on Wednesday - be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.

Selena, the Queen of Tejano

Artist, musician, fashion icon, sister, daughter, wife, a human beam of sparkly light. She was a QUEEN in every sense of the word, more than deserving of her title. You guessed it - we’re talking about Selena! Selena Quintanilla-Perez was an insanely talented musician with an out-of-this-world fashion career ahead of her when she passed away at 23 in 1995. But her accomplishments aside (and there are MOUNTAINS of them), she also was a ray of sunshine, filled with so much joy and confidence that ...

Say Cheese and Die: Goosebumps

If there’s one person who knew exactly how to slither and slime his way into our collective imaginations in the mid-90s, it was R.L. Stine - famed children’s author of the Goosebumps and Fear Street series (among many others) and the proclaimed “Stephen King of children’s literature.” Whether you read the books, watched the TV series, or indulged in them both, there’s simply no denying it - for 90s kids, the Goosebumps book series was our introduction to the horror genre and gave us all of the b...

Uncle Jesse Appreciation Episode

Everywhere you look (everywhere you go), there’s a heart… a hand to hold onto. If you can still hear this song in your head when you see those lyrics, pour a glass of vino and settle in while my best friend Laura and I take a dive into one of America’s most beloved family sitcoms, FULL HOUSE! And we’ll just put it out there - the show was great, the family was cool and all… but it’s all about one character. To us, at least. TW: Please be aware that this episode mentions, but does not discuss, di...

Cheers to Yolanda: McDonald's Happy Meal Toys in the 90s

The moment you opened your Happy Meal box to find out which toy you got was one of the biggest moments of truth for 90s kids. Lucky you if you got your first choice Barbie or Hot Wheel or Halloween McNugget Buddy. This week I am joined by my sister Sam, badass travel vlogger and low key McDonald's Happy Meal Toy fan. Join us as we go through some background on the Happy Meal (including a chat about our girl Yolanda, who is actually the inventor of the famous kiddie meal) and talk about some of t...
