    Noughties Fashion with Muireann O'Connell

    The Von Duchess is back as we recap noughties fashion and why we're seeing such a huge resurgence of it. As with all Irish guests, we talk confirmation money, regional skirt lengths and the Celtic Tiger, but also get to global trends: Von Dutch caps, logo-fever, new money anxieties, post-9/11 fashion and how we all got Joan-pilled by the 2007 arrival of Mad Men. This one Goes Places but I'm so glad it did. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Girl Games with Sarah Maria Griffin

    Gaming used to be for everybody, like Lego. But somewhere around the early noughties gaming became extremely gendered, with first person war shooters dominating mainstream gaming and “girl” games arrived. We talk The Sims, Harvest Moon, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, tv and movie franchise games, horse riding games, a little bit of Zelda, and a little bit of Skyrim. We also discuss Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and finish with recommendations for new gamers. Recs include: Wandersong Chicory A Short Hike Cult of the Lamb Boyfriend Dungeon Going Under Wychwood What Remains of Edith Finch Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
