Then and Now: Were Things Better Back Then?

from Breakfast with the P-M's · host Breakfast with the P-M's

In this episode, we take a trip back to Patrick and Philly’s childhoods and compare growing up then with growing up now.We talk about 5p pocket money, childhood freedom, school days and even getting the slipper or cane. We also explore how life felt slower and simpler without smartphones, social media, the internet and the constant noise of modern technology.Matthew is convinced he was born too late and would have loved growing up in their era, but was life really better back then, or are we looking at the past through rose-tinted glasses?A nostalgic, funny and thoughtful conversation about childhood, changing times and what we might have gained, and lost, along the way.
