We Don't Wanna Grow Up

Pete & Stacy, Bleav 453 Episodes Oct 2, 2026

We Don't Wanna Grow Up is a nostalgia podcast focused on the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Hosts Pete and Stacy revisit movies, TV shows, music, toys, and pop culture from those decades. They aim to recapture childhood rituals like browsing Toys R Us aisles, circling the J.C. Penney holiday catalog, and waiting to record a favorite song off the radio. The show uses these memories as comfort during stressful times and hopes listeners feel the same fondness.
