# The Room We Wanted

A podcast by Brian Colburn & Jay Sweet. Who you were before you became who you are. The things we loved growing up didn't just entertain us. They helped shape us. The music we listened to, the movies and TV shows we watched, the toys and games we obsessed over, and even the snacks we couldn't get enough of became part of the stories that made us who we are. The Room We Wanted is a nostalgia podcast about those memories, the people we were before adulthood, and the unexpected ways our childhood obsessions still connect to who we've become. Each episode, hosts Brian Colburn and Jay Sweet invite a guest to build the dream room they would have wanted growing up, choosing four things that defined their world: The Sound, The Screen, The Stuff, and The Taste. Through childhood memories, pop culture, music, movies, television, video games, toys, books, and favorite foods, those four choices open the door to something deeper than nostalgia. They reveal the experiences that shaped us, the memories that stayed with us, and the connections between who we were then and who we are today. Because sometimes, the best way to understand who someone is today is to discover who they were before they became who they are.
