The Room We Wanted
Who you were before you became who you are. The Room We Wanted is a nostalgic podcast about the things we listened to, watched, ate, and obsessed over… the things that mattered to us growing up, and the things that helped shape who we became. Each episode, a guest joins hosts Brian Colburn and Jay Sweet to build the room they wanted to live in growing up, picking four things they couldn’t imagine their lives without. From music and movies to television, games, food, and everything in between, those four choices open the door to the person they were, as we explore why those things mattered then and what they still mean now. Because sometimes, the best way to understand who someone is today is to discover who they were before they became who they are.

For comedian and rock 'n' roll lifer Don Jamieson, quite a bit.
Don takes us back to the room he wanted, starting with KISS Destroyer, the album that introduced him to a band that was more than music. KISS were rock stars, superheroes and comic book characters all rolled into one, and Don's childhood bedroom eventually became a shrine to the band.
Then there's Loone...
What do Mambo No. 5, Ace Ventura, Pokémon and Warheads have in common?
For Dylan Chambers, they're four pieces of a childhood that helped shape the musician, songwriter, guitarist and producer he is today. It sounds like Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5." It looks like Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. It means Pokémon cards spread across the table. And it tastes like Warheads.

What do Chris de Burgh, Transformers, Monopoly, Pizza & RC Cola have in common?
For Jason Whissell, host of It's Not That Bad and There Can Only Be One, it sounds like Chris de Burgh's Man on the Line playing on vinyl. It looks like Transformers on the television. It means an old-school Monopoly board spread across the table. And it tastes like Lorenzo's pizza and a 750 ml glass bottle of RC Cola.
What starts with a deep dive int...
The things we loved when we were young were never just things. They were pieces of us.
A record we played until we wore it out. A movie we knew every line to. A toy we couldn't wait to show our friends. A video game we refused to stop playing. And that one snack that can still take us back to another time and place.
