We Don't Wanna Grow Up

by Pete & Stacy, Bleav

We Don’t Wanna Grow Up is an 80s, 90s, and 2000s nostalgia podcast about movies, TV shows, music, toys, and pop culture. We want to take you back to that feeling of strolling down the aisles at Toys R Us, flipping through the J.C. Penney catalog so you can earmark everything you want for Christmas, cozying up in front of the television on a Saturday morning with a big bowl of cereal, or waiting hours for that certain song to play on the radio so you can hit record on your tape player and have the song forever. We want to recapture the feeling of the moment your dELiA*s catalog arrived in the mail, looking at the album art in your new CD and sitting on your inflatable furniture. Remembering all of this has been a comfort and has helped us get through the stress and anxiety that has come along with everything happening in the world lately, and we hope it helps you a little bit, too.

One of my favorite podcasts. Stacy and Pete always seem to bring a smile to my face and provide plenty of giggles. This podcast is pure joy and fun! So grateful for the time and energy they put into this fantastic podcast!

I love this podcast. The hosts are funny and sweet. Their content is like one big walk down memory lane. Stacy & I have similar taste in shows, movies, and toys from the 80’s & 90’s and it’s so fun to hear her take on them. Keep the content coming, please! :)

AlimeFlower · Nov 2025

I found your podcast recently while searching for my favorite made-for-TV movies from my teenage years, Dance Til Dawn! I was so excited that you covered it, but have loved catching up on your other episodes as well.

RWest524 · Jul 2025

Hands-down, my favorite podcast. I’ve actually hit the point where I’m repeating episodes now. You guys are so funny and so easy to listen to and even if it’s a topic that I’m not familiar with it’s entertaining. Your banter is hilarious. Keep it up… 🫶🏻
