In addition to personal growth and empowerment, I’m also a proud ride-or-die nostalgic—especially when it comes to classic 90s content. This week’s episode is a fun, thoughtful, and deeply reflective dive into one of the most defining eras of our childhoods.
I’m joined by fellow nostalgia nerd Alex Nantz, creator of the Splat Attack Podcast, a show fully dedicated to the golden age of 90s Nickelodeon. Alex shares his journey building a platform centered around classic Nick content and interviewing iconic guests from some of the network’s most beloved shows. Together, we geek out over Nicktoons, unforgettable TV moments, and the characters that shaped our sense of humor, creativity, and identity.
We also explore why 90s Nickelodeon still matters today and what made it such a pivotal part of growing up. From series like Doug, Rugrats, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and Kenan & Kel, to the culture of SNICK, slime, and sketch comedy, we reflect on how that era influenced storytelling and connection. Our conversation also turns candid as we discuss the “Quiet On Set” documentary and what its fallout means for fans, creators, and accountability within the industry.
If you grew up glued to Nickelodeon or simply love unpacking the deeper meaning behind nostalgia, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that revisiting the past can help us understand ourselves—and the media we consume—more clearly. You can listen to this episode in full on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or stream it directly here on the blog.
