In the final episode of Remember When, Carol and Emma look back over the season and revisit some of the things we loved, the things we definitely won’t miss, and the things that have disappeared forever.

From phone boxes and pen pals to curtain haircuts and wallpapering our school books, we remember the little things that made growing up in the 80s and 90s so different.

We talk crunchy toilet paper, dial-up internet, smoking wherever you wanted, low-rise jeans and sugar sandwiches — and ask the all-important question…

If you could go back to the 90s, would you?

So one last time, come and reminisce with us about the things we remember, the things we’ve forgotten, and the things that really are gone forever.

Until next time, kids… over and out.

This week, Emma and Carol are remembering the moments that changed us — from the heartbreaking death of Princess Diana and the OJ Simpson trial, to Italia ’90, the arrival of the Euro and the millennium panic that had us wondering if everything would actually shut down at midnight.

Then there were the cultural moments we couldn't escape — Big Brother, Who Shot Mr Burns? and the songs, films and celebrities that defined an era.

Emma also remembers interviewing Britney Spears and meeting David Beckham, while Carol and Emma tackle another important piece of 90s history: what exactly WERE the words to Another Level's Freak Me?

And if you remember the stress of having a punt purse , sterling purse AND a euro purse, this episode is absolutely for you.

Funny, nostalgic and occasionally emotional — it's a trip back to the moments when it felt like we were all watching the same thing, talking about the same thing and experiencing it together.

We LOVE remembering the 90s — but was it really as carefree as nostalgia would have us believe?

This week broadcaster and podcaster Rebecca Horan joins Emma and Carol to look beyond the rose-tinted glasses.

We talk All Saints, Alanis Morissette, Britpop, grunge, Beverly Hills 90210, Sweet Valley High and the fashion we thought was everything.

But we also talk about what was happening underneath it all — impossible beauty standards, heroin chic, drinking too young, experiences we didn't always have the language for, and growing up at a time when anxiety and mental health simply weren't talked about.

As Rebecca puts it at the end of our conversation:

“There was so much murkiness under what we were actually going through… But we have grit.”

We had an absolute BALL in the 90s. But it wasn't perfect.

So… did the 90s lie to us?
