Send us Fan MailIn this week’s episode we discussed how consumer culture, emotional attachment, and clever marketing have led to a nation buried in stuff. Americans are surrounded by more possessions than ever before, from overstuffed closets to overflowing storage units. We talk about clutter, psychology, and minimalism to uncover why we keep accumulating—and what it might take to finally let go.Our Links:Retrospect

In Retrospect with Susie Banikarim and Jessica Bennett
iHeartPodcasts and The Meteor
Is there a cultural moment from your past that looks different in retrospect? Maybe it’s a scandalous tabloid story seared into your teenage brain or a political punchline that just feels wrong now. It might be a very specific red swimsuit that inspired a decade of plastic surgery (see: “Baywatch”) or the inescapable smell of an entire generation of prepubescent boys (Axe body spray, anyone?). Each week on IN RETROSPECT, Emmy-winning journalist Susie Banikarim and New York Times editor Jessica Bennett revisit a pop culture moment from the 80s and 90s that shaped them — to try to understand what it taught us about the world, and a woman’s place in it.Talk to us at @inretropod, @susiebnyc and @jessicabennett on Instagram. New episodes each Friday.
