Episode 149: Toys Gone Wild (part one), with Jess!

Our friend and fellow Delia*s fangirl, Jess Todd, is back to talk about the toy crazes of the 80s and 90s. This is part one of two. In this episode, we will specifically dig in o the ways children of the 80s and 90s were set up to be perfect consumers as adults via a mixture of lots of advertising and cartoons that were really just longform commercials! Get ready for a 50/50 blend of nostalgia and fury. Also: audio essays from Patricia of The World's Corner and Rachel of Cute Little Ruin.
