Pencil Cases, Playgrounds & Passing Notes

Math is red, English is blue, science is green and somehow social studies is always whatever color is left. In this episode, we’re heading back to school — from the pressure of picking the perfect first-day outfit and breaking in a new pair of shoes to Lisa Frank folders, mechanical pencils, lunchboxes, lockers and the unspoken anxiety of finding out who would be in your class. We’re reliving everything from recess games and PE nightmares to Scholastic Book Fairs, school buses, overhead projectors, assigned seating, handwriting phases and the iconic school supplies that defined our childhoods. Plus, we’re sharing hilarious, embarrassing and unforgettable listener stories about crushes, first days and awkward moments. Whether you loved school or counted down the days until summer, this episode is a trip back to the era when going back to school meant a brand-new notebook, a fresh pair of shoes and a whole lot of nerves.
